Are there any men’s polo shirts that don’t shrink?!

Getting exasperated with this

Wash on 30 degrees, gentle spin, do not tumble dry and still they shrink

What are some good brands that retain their length and shape??

Belstaff are pretty good. I can wash and wash those and they stay in shape, bit they aren't cheap. The Boss climacool are similarly decent.

I find the Charles Tyrwhitt ones are fab and don't shrink. Similarly Hugo Boss / Barbour haven't let me down.

Will try both of those! Thanks

Cotton Traders. DH has loads and they last for years.

Asda 100% cotton ones are good.

DH wears RL, hes some here over 20 years old, beginning to wear but never shrunk nor lost colour

Charles Tyrwhitt definitely, last absolutely ages too.

Another vote for RL (Ralph Lauren). You can get good deals if you shop around and they really do last. Hugo Boss and Raging Bull also get a thumbs up for not shrinking. Next polos have been pretty reliable too in fairness.

I had a bad experience with a Ted Baker mens polo a few years back. One of theirs shrunk despite me washing it to the letter of the care label. However, it was a fluke because all of the others were fine.

Another vote for RL, we got DH's at one of the outlet shops and they have lasted really well
