Big & Tall Tipped-Collar Polo Shirt, Sizes M–8XL

Most Polos Stop at 3XL. This One doesn't.

If you are a big bloke, the polo rack is a short walk. Most of them stop at 3XL, and the ones that go bigger are shapeless or come in one colour. You end up in a T-shirt to every barbecue and meeting.

This polo runs in ten sizes, M to 8XL, in black, navy, white, dark grey and light grey, with a contrast tipped collar and cuffs and a three-button placket. The supplier's chart takes the chest from 90 cm at M to 138 cm at 8XL, and the length grows from 64 to 78 cm so it still covers your belt.

Be clear on what 8XL means here. These are Asian sizes: the 138 cm 8XL fits about a 123 cm chest with room to move, an Australian 2XL on our chart. Check the centimetres before you order.

Limits

Asian sizes. The 8XL is 138 cm around the chest, about an Australian 2XL. If you take an Australian 4XL or bigger, this will be tight.

Weight guide is the supplier's. The chart's suggested weights (to 132.5 kg at 8XL) are the supplier's; chest size decides the fit, not weight.

Fabric not fully stated. 95% cotton is from the listing title; the rest of the blend is not given.

Returns. Returns cover faulty items and items not as described; change of mind and wrong size are not covered, which is why the full measurements are on this page.

Q & A

I'm 120 kg. Which Size?

The supplier's guide says 7XL for 117.5 to 122.5 kg. But measure: the 7XL is 132 cm around the chest, which fits a chest of about 117 cm with room. If yours is bigger, go 8XL, and if it is over about 123 cm, this polo will be tight.

How Long is it?

From 64 cm at M to 78 cm at 8XL, measured down the back.

Is it Cotton?

The supplier's listing says 95% cotton.

Specs

Size Chart

Read off the supplier's own size chart (hand measured, allow 1 to 3 cm). The supplier's suggested height and weight are in the last table.

The Supplier's Suggested Height & Weight: a rough guide only; the chest decides the fit.

How we work out the Australian size: we take the garment's chest from the supplier's own chart, allow 15 cm of room (Bisley Workwear's published figure for its closest-fitting cut) and match what is left to the body-chest sizes on Bisley Workwear's men's size chart. It is a guide, not a promise: measure a top that already fits you, flat across the chest and doubled, and compare that with the chest column.
