Polo sweaters haven't come up very often here. What do you all think of them? How do you wear them? I was wearing one over a OCBD for a period of time.Hadn't seen anything like this before, and it was cheap enough that I figured I could find a way to work it into outfits. A BB Country Club 70/30 silk/cotton long sleeve polo sweater:
smoked pearl MOP buttons:
as an aside, I've really grown to like a lot of the BBCC stuff- good fabrics and overall construction
Doghouse,Polo sweaters haven't come up very often here. What do you all think of them? How do you wear them? I was wearing one over a OCBD for a period of time.
A couple things. First, I think Doghouse was referring to the style of sweater, not the company (this sweater is from the Country Club line by Brooks Brothers). In any case, my experience with Ralph Lauren lines, fwiw:Doghouse,
I think that RL stuff is so varied and has been made in such quanities for so long now that it is difficult to give an accurate appraisal. For my part, I have always felt that their sweaters, like their polo shirts (at least the older ones) are very good quality for the price and will last a long time. I think that the older blue label polo by RL will range in quality anywhere from good to excellent and of course they have colors and styles across their range of labels that are hard to find anywhere else. If you can access their items from the purple label and RRL collections you can find some truly wonderful sweaters (note that these are certainly not cheap when bought new and not meant for everyday buyers of RL.) If he is available, DRL can perhaps give us a better review as he seems to have spent some time working for the company in the past.
As to how to wear them well this is the trad forum so over an OCBD is always a great option, especially with corduroys.
Pattern? Stripes or something else?Alas, I violated my self imposed shopping hiatus, to purchase two BB woven cotton, D-Ring belts; one in a navy and red pattern and the second in a navy and green pattern. Originally priced at $50, I picked them up for a pittance at $9.73 apiece...and they should be suitable for a more tropical wardrobe!![]()
