St. John's Bay Classic Polo Mens – Everyday Comfort & Fit
Our Classic Polo is engineered for guys who value reliability without sacrificing style. We built it with a soft cotton-blend pique fabric that resists fading and holds its shape wash after wash. The straight hem works equally well tucked or untucked, and the traditional collar keeps a clean, polished look whether you're at the office or the weekend cookout.
We chose a cotton-polyester pique weave because it offers the best of both worlds: the softness and breathability of cotton combined with polyester's wrinkle resistance and color retention. The pique texture itself—those tiny honeycomb ridges you see up close—isn't just decorative. It creates airflow channels that pull moisture away from your skin, so you stay cooler even when temperatures climb.
Sizing & fit guide
Our Classic Polo follows a relaxed fit profile—roomier through the chest and waist than a slim-fit style, but still shaped enough to avoid that boxy look. If you typically wear a medium in our other tops, a medium here will give you about two inches of ease across the chest and a hem that hits right at your hip bone.
How to measure
For the most accurate fit, measure a polo you already own and love. Lay it flat, button it up, and measure straight across the chest one inch below the underarm seam. Compare that number to our size chart: Small (20 inches), Medium (22 inches), Large (24 inches), XL (26 inches), 2XL (28 inches), 3XL (30 inches). Sleeve length is consistent across sizes at 9 inches from shoulder seam to cuff.
Care & maintenance tips
Machine wash cold with like colors—we recommend turning the polo inside out to protect the outer surface and any embroidery or screen-print details. Skip the fabric softener; it coats the pique fibers and reduces their moisture-wicking ability over time. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air-dry if you want to minimize any potential shrinkage.
If you need to iron out wrinkles, use a medium-heat setting and press on the reverse side while the fabric is still slightly damp. The polyester content makes heavy creasing rare, but a quick touch-up ensures the collar lies flat and looks crisp. Store your polos folded—not on hangers—to prevent shoulder dimples from forming along the seam line.

Questions about St. John's Bay men's polos
Our Classic Polo is crafted from a cotton-polyester pique blend—typically 60% cotton and 40% polyester. This combination delivers the natural softness and breathability of cotton with the wrinkle resistance and durability of polyester. The pique weave creates a textured surface that enhances airflow and helps the fabric retain its shape over time.
We recommend measuring a polo you currently own that fits well. Lay it flat, button it, and measure across the chest one inch below the underarm seam. Compare that measurement to our size chart in the Sizing & Fit section above. Our Classic Polo follows a relaxed fit, so if you’re between sizes or prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down.
Yes. Machine wash cold with like colors, ideally turning the polo inside out to protect the outer fabric. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air-dry. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of the pique weave. The polyester content makes these polos naturally wrinkle-resistant.
Absolutely. Our Classic Polo pairs well with chinos, dress pants, or dark denim for a business-casual environment. The structured collar and clean lines meet most workplace dress codes, and you can tuck it in for a more formal presentation or wear it untucked in relaxed settings.
Minimal to no shrinkage is expected when you follow the care instructions—wash cold and tumble dry low. The polyester content stabilizes the cotton fibers and prevents the significant shrinkage you sometimes see with 100% cotton garments. Most customers report their polos maintain the original size even after dozens of washes.
We stock twelve solid colors including navy, black, white, heather gray, charcoal, burgundy, forest green, burnt orange, light blue, khaki, stone, and red. Seasonal colors may be added throughout the year. Each color uses solution-dye technology for long-lasting vibrancy.
With proper care, our Classic Polo is designed to remain a wardrobe staple for multiple years. The reinforced stitching at stress points, durable pique fabric, and colorfast dyeing process all contribute to longevity. Many customers report wearing the same polos regularly for two to three years before noticing any significant wear.
