Instantly recognizable by Ralph Lauren's multicolored signature embroidered Pony, which requires a total of 1,500 individual stitches to produce, Ralph Lauren’s Polo shirt has been an icon of American style since 1972. This version is cut for a relaxed fit from soft cotton interlock, offering a smoother surface than our original’s mesh fabric. Its classic fit is our roomiest style and cut for a lower armhole and a fuller sleeve that falls closer to the elbow.
