Michel Rouen Men's Quick-Dry Striped Polo, dark blue/light blue stripe

Three tones in one horizontal stripe rather than two, and that is why these read differently from the rest of the striped shelf: there is a thin line of a third colour inside each band, and it shows up at conversation distance rather than across a fairway. Thirteen colourways, most of them named as a pair because that is what they are.

Cut relaxed rather than regular, so this is the one to take if the regular fit sits closer than you like through the middle. Three-button placket, a collar cut not to curl, S to 3XL. There is no UPF figure on this label, so none is printed for it. The knit is the same quick-dry polyester with spandex, but a sun rating is a test result and this cut has not got one.

One of 10 on the polo shirts rail in the Michel Rouen catalogue. It also answers to golf polos, striped polos, dry fit polos. 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. 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.
