Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Pocket Polo

The only cut we make with a chest pocket, which makes it either the obvious choice or irrelevant. If you keep a pencil, a marker and a couple of tees where your hand already is, nothing else here does that. Thirteen colourways, all at one price, so the decision is purely colour.

The body is a jacquard rather than a flat knit, with contrast piping inside the collar and a contrast button placket, and the pocket is stitched rather than welted, which is the version that survives a hundred drops of a pencil. Side vents at the hem let the shirt move at the top of a backswing without pulling out of the waistband. If you are between letters and the pocket is the point, take the smaller: a pocket that sits low on a loose shirt stops getting used.

One of 10 on the polo shirts rail in the Michel Rouen lineup. It also answers to golf polos, pocket polos, upf golf shirts. A size letter describes the garment rather than your body, so measure your chest once and hold the figure against the chart on the buying page. The UPF figure describes dry, unstretched cloth, and you lose part of it when the shirt is soaked through or pulled tight. If you find a figure here that disagrees with the piece in your hands, tell us: how we keep them current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
