Classic fit: your questions

How does the HyperNatural classic fit fit?

Not too tight through the body, with a straight cut from chest to hem. The Matterhorn is cut long enough to tuck in.

Classic fit or slim fit: which should I choose?

Choose classic fit for a straight cut with room through the body. Choose slim fit for a tapered cut that sits closer. Not sure? Take the fit quiz.

Which styles come in classic fit?

The El Capitán and Matterhorn micro-pique polos, the Pinehurst featherweight jersey polo in solids and stripes, the Eclipse pieced rugby, the El Capitán button-front shirt and the Topanga crewneck tee.

Will a classic fit polo hold its shape?

Yes. Supima® is extra-long-staple American cotton, soft and strong, and every style has 3% to 7% Creora® Regen recycled spandex for stretch and recovery.

Is there polyester in the classic fit styles?

No. Every classic fit style is Supima® cotton and Hyper-Cool Jade® viscose, a cellulose fiber with jade minerals and chitin embedded in it, with Creora® Regen recycled spandex. 0% polyester.
