How does the relaxed fit compare with Polo's Classic Fit?

It is roomier through the chest and waist than Classic Fit, with dropped shoulders and a straighter, boxier silhouette. If you want a trimmer shirt, size down or look at the Classic Fit version.

Most buyers who want a normal fit should size down at least one size, since it runs very oversized. If you want the loose, oversized look as styled, take your usual size.

What is the shirt made of?

Cotton oxford cloth, a plain-weave shirting cotton with a slightly textured surface. It is lighter and softer than a heavy oxford, so it wrinkles and benefits from ironing.

What length is it and how does it fit at the hip?

It is intended to hit at the hip, with a shirttail hem that works tucked in or left out. The box-pleated back yoke adds room across the shoulders.

Does it have a chest pocket?

No, this version has a clean front with a point collar and buttoned placket but no chest pocket. The detail is in the barrel cuffs and back pleat.

Can it be worn open over a tee?

Yes. The relaxed cut and soft cotton make it a common layer over a tee or tank, and the dropped shoulders keep it casual.
