Polo has larger men's sizes

Leigh Melton <le...@nbi.com>
I thought RL Polo shirts only went up to XXL. Duh – I should have
clicked "big and tall". Those go up to 6X. For those with big guys
to buy for, you might want to take note. Joe wears an XXL and I've
shopped a lot of places for him. Sometimes RL shirts are less
expensive than those at big–and–tall shops/sites and the quality is
much better. Plus they have the greatest colors.
Joe's an engineer and wearing black jeans and a Polo is his uniform.
By the standards around here, he's dressed up! :)

Oops, yes, they do! Sorry, should have mentioned.

And, where are you buying them?
Is it only the classic polo shirts? Are there other items?
Thank you!
Ellen

Polo.com
Be sure and look in the "sale" section – they have some good bargains
there, but the items seem to change on a regular basis. IOW, if you
see it you may want to grab it if it's a good price.
I got a friend (who wears a size small) a polo shirt for Christmas for
only 28 bucks, but that selection is gone now, drat. I should have
bought two – a second one for this birthday! :)

They have a lot of big&tall items. I haven't checked out their suits
or anything since Joe doesn't really have a call for any of that and I
get most of his dress shirts at Talbots.
One of the sale items that I grabbed more of is women's socks, two
pair for $7.50. These are SO comfy! Just the right thickness to wear
with loafers.

You get the more formal places that hire engineers, they're not
supposed to be wearing flip–flops but some of them get close.

I can tell you Dillard's Big and Tall has them.
Don't ask me why most other traditional department stores ignore the
fact that there are big and tall men.

I have to buy for myself, so I know.
