Which is better for hot weather?

The Manor. Merino wool breathes and wicks moisture, while the Rothwell's viscose-polyester blend traps warmth.

Is the Manor worth $22 more?

If you want a natural wool knit that regulates temperature and resists odor, yes. If you want a cheaper, softer polo, the Rothwell is fine.

The Rothwell is cut as a slim fit. The Manor is a classic fit, so it sits roomier through the chest and waist.

The Manor's merino is durable but can pill. The Rothwell's synthetic blend resists pilling but may lose shape sooner. Both need hand washing.

Can either go in a dryer?

No. Both are hand wash only, and merino should be dried flat to avoid stretching.
