    The Polo has landed.
    In black without the bell logo. Just plain black.
    The fabric is heavy for a polo shirt, not to heavy though.
    Quality and finish are really on a different level to almost any other polo I've had.
    Certainly nothing like some other polos that stretch and loose the shape very quickly and are relegated to the car cleaning outfit after a few months of wear.
    I am sure it will last for years and age very well indeed. It will just get better the more its worn.
    Just a great item to have.

    I am not strange. I'm just not normal!

      I would like to see the next run have an even length in the front and back. I wear polos often for work, and when I get done for the day, I just like to untuck. The problem is that shirts like this are meant to be tucked and therefore the difference in tail length. The even all around Polos can be tucked or untucked and look completely fine but anyone who truly knows polos, knows this shirt is to be remained tucked, and that sucks.

      I know this isn't law, but this is a general rule of thumb like leaving the last button undone on a suit jacket. If you want to, you can fasten it, but everyone who knows how to wear a suit will either correct you or look in disappointment in your direction. When I untuck a shirt with a tail, I know what I'm doing is wrong and looks silly and I try to avoid as often as possible and have stopped buying Polo's with tails as a result.

      "Shirts that are made with a flat bottom hem are meant to be worn untucked. But if the shirt has visible “tails” — that is to say, the hem varies in length, rather than being even all the way around — it should always be tucked in."

        I love Polo with a longer back and never tuck, and I think that these are too thick to be tucked anyway…

            I'd love to own one if my size were available but I also feel like the longer tail would really bother me. Personal preference I guess. Maybe a second version could be made for the people like myself who prefer the even length?

              waiting on images of these out in the wild.

              too thick to tuck  😃

              I know it's all personal pref, but I actually like the bell logo

                Fuck yes to the bell logo. But I like a bit of branding.

                I'll get pics up when mine get to me, but that won't be until next week.

                  Obviously it is a personal choice, but I agree!

                    Agreed.  I think these measurements came out great on these and I love the longer length.

                      I will never ever tuck an IH Polo, until my mother is able to read this post :

                        That's super funny. Nowadays it may backfire with kids trying to stand out so much.

                          A few pics of the blue. Went with XXL as XL would have been a touch too snug and I'll take a bit loose over snug.

                          I tucked the beast and will like keep tucked for more "professional" situations but will wear untucked in casual circumstances.

                            Looking good @Dstauffer ! So-I'm late to the party. Glad to see them sell though

                                A blue bag with two of these is waiting for me at home. I'm a teensy bit excited as I always am with a new type of IH product. Also I'm interested to see how the length is. Is it a bit too much (even for us lot) to have your seamstress adjust the length of a polo shirt?

                                  You can definitely look forward to them. If they're too long try to hot wash them first before consulting a tailor.

                                    Do you have experience with them? I know the page says once washed/no shrinkage. They aren't too long, in fact the black fits me perfectly. There is some variation in sizing though as the grey is a good 2 cm wider in the body. So if there was shrinkage to be had I could stand to loose a bit off the bottom for some width shrinkage.

                                    Anyways, sizing issues aside, they are really nice. So cleanly designed and made (I'm thinking of the buttons, collar and ribbed arm especially) and the fabric is really luxurious. Great work IH.

                                      I gave my grey a 30°C wash and no shrinkage occured. I concur that the fabric is stunning and they are simply amazing overall.

                                        Wore my black in anger for the first time yesterday. I will certainly be wearing mine untucked most of the time, menswear standards be damned. But, they do tuck very nicely as well, if needs be. I'm also going to get my grey taken in a bit. Looks like an easy fix for my seamstress. Really nice alternative to have in the wardrobe.
