Straight Down Polos (How do they fit?)

Tarheelnation3 · September 24, 2015

So my club has a lot of Straight Down gear. Looks great, but as a bigger guy, I am always hesitant to buy gear I haven't worn before. Can anyone tell me how the polos fit? I usually wear the "traditional" cut in all brands (Adidas, Nike, Peter Millar) and a size XXL. Anything labeled "slim fit" or the like I stay away from. Anyone out there have thoughts or comments regarding Straight Down? I'm all ears. The last subject I read on this was from 2011, so I wanted to get some updated thoughts. Thanks!

Our proshop just started carrying it as well and I purchased a XL. I am 6'4" but on the slim side. I would say they fit a little looser than what I prefer, but certainly true to size. So I would say that if you normally wear a XXL then that would fit fine. Their XL is bigger than a Puma or Adidas XL IMO. My ideal shirt fit is Peter Millar L, which fits a little more snug than the XL does.

Hope that helps. They are great quality shirts so far from what I can tell.

Perfect, that helps out a lot. I like a looser fitting shirt (just a personal thing for me). I'm 6"4 as well. Is the length of them good to go for tucking in? They look great and good quality just from looking them over and holding them.

Yea you will have no issues tucking it in. I like a lot of their shirts because I can wear them to work as well, where I can't do that with my Adidas, Pumas, Sligos, etc.

I bought my first Pete Millar last week and that is my new favorite fit for a shirt. I've been searching for some more.
