What makes Orlebar Brown polo shirts unique?
Our polos are built with the same tailoring discipline as our swim shorts-clean silhouettes, considered cuts and superior fabrics. Fourteen named styles across three fits and five fabrications, knitted in Italy in cashmere, merino, mercerised cotton, silk and crochet, and in Portugal in linen. Finished with mother-of-pearl buttons, Milano-stitch plackets and fully fashioned construction. Designed in London since 2007.
How should I choose the right polo shirt?
We offer three fits across fourteen styles. For a closer, more structured silhouette suited to dinner or a smarter daytime look, choose a tailored polo-the Horton, Sebastian or Bruno. For a softer middle register, a classic polo. For a looser fit built for holiday wear, a relaxed polo-the Terry, Roddy or Batten.
What is the difference between Orlebar Brown's tailored, classic and relaxed polo shirts?
Tailored polos have a closer, more defined cut through the chest and shoulders-the silhouette closest to our swim-short DNA. Classic sits in the middle: a softer drape, a more familiar register, neither structured nor loose. Relaxed polos are cut wider through the body for ease, designed for the way most holidays are actually spent.
