R.M.Williams polo shirts for summer
R.M.Williams polo shirts are classic cotton piqué polos with a relaxed Australian look, led by the Rod Polo and striped styles like the Ashfield and Balmain. Several styles are made from 100% Australian cotton.
A polo is the easiest step up from a T-shirt, and the R.M.Williams Rod Polo is one of the most reliable in our stores. It comes in core colours such as navy, white, black, grey marle and fatigue. For more R.M.Williams summer basics, see R.M.Williams T-shirts and R.M.Williams shirts. Read More
Quick answer: which R.M.Williams polo should I buy?
Start with the Rod Polo, a plain cotton piqué polo in core colours.
Add a striped polo, such as the Ashfield or Balmain, for something more relaxed.
Choose navy or white first, as they go with chinos, jeans and shorts.
Finish the look with an R.M.Williams belt and boots or sneakers.
What makes an R.M.Williams polo different?
R.M.Williams polos are simple, well made and designed to last more than one summer. Key facts:
Cotton piqué: the textured weave breathes well and holds its shape better than jersey.
Australian cotton: several styles, including colours of the Rod Polo, use 100% Australian cotton.
Understated branding: the logo is small, so the polo works for work, weekends and country events.
Classic collar and placket: smart enough to wear with chinos and boots.
