How does waffle knit differ from a regular pique polo?

Waffle knit has a raised grid texture that traps a little more air, so it feels warmer and slightly thicker than smooth pique cotton. It also looks more casual and textured, which suits fall and spring wear better than midsummer heat.

What colors does it come in?

Black, sunlight, sunset rose and faded flower. Black is the safest for everyday wear; the rose and faded flower tones are more seasonal.

Does it fit true to size?

It is a loose fit with hip length, so it runs roomier than a standard regular-fit polo. Men who prefer a trimmer look may want to size down; those who like an easy drape can take their usual size.

How should I wash a cotton waffle-knit polo?

Machine wash cold and lay flat to dry, since the care instructions say not to tumble dry. Skip high heat, which can shrink the cotton and distort the waffle texture.

Is it worth buying over a cheaper plain polo?

You pay for the Calvin Klein name and the waffle texture. If you want a basic everyday polo, a plain cotton one offers similar coverage for less; if you want the texture and brand, it is a reasonable mid-range choice.

Is the fabric pure cotton?

Some colorways are 100% cotton and others are a cotton blend, so check the fabric line for the color you pick. Pure cotton breathes best; blends resist wrinkling a little more.

About the Calvin Klein Men's Waffle-knit Polo Shirt

A short-sleeve polo in a waffle-knit cotton or cotton blend, cut to hip length with a loose fit and a buttoned, ribbed collar. It comes in black, sunlight, sunset rose and faded flower. The waffle texture gives it more visual interest and a bit more warmth than a smooth pique polo, which suits casual wear in mild weather better than midsummer heat. It is a designer logo piece, so you pay for the Calvin Klein name and the texture rather than for technical fabric or performance features.
