I can’t remember exactly where I first heard of the brand Quaker Marine Supply, but that only serves to prove my point that they are underrated. Seems like not many people know about them, but they are a phenomenal brand making some really great pieces…
Read moreThe Perfect Summer Polo From Kent Wang — The Perfect Underrated Menswear Brand
We have been fans of Kent Wang here at The Peak Lapel for a while. They are one of the best values in menswear out there right now, despite not having the fame/notoriety that some other brands do. They are a small, online haberdashery, essentially, that carries some killer shirts, polos, sweaters…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreZara Polo Haul 2018 — Review
The polo shirt is a staple of any guy’s summer wardrobe. Indeed, most days I find myself wearing chinos, a polo shirt, and a good pair of loafers (with no socks). Still, the hunt for the perfect polo shirts is a difficult one. One shirt might fit great in the bicep, while the length is no good. Another might be too slim, while another might be much to large.

The warmer months of summer and spring are the ideal time to get some great polos into your wardrobe rotation. (The excellent website Dappered recently published a great roundup of many of the the polos options out there.) When it comes to the VERY hot days, though, you’ll want to make sure you are wearing a polo designed for the heat.
Read moreA Thorough Walk-Through Of Banana Republic’s Entire Polo Lineup
Spring and summer time is also polo time. It’s not quite as dressed up as a full-on button down shirt, nor as casual or laid back as a t-shirt. Perfect for BBQ’s, sports games, or just hanging out, every guy needs a solid polo collection. It is, perhaps, the greatest way to look just a bit more put together while still staying cool and comfortable in the coming warmer months...
Read moreThe Underrated Style Piece You Need in Your Closet: A Review of the Long Sleeve Polo from Jomers
The standard polo occupies a very important space in every man's closet: it's not too casual and not too dressy. You can throw one on with a pair of jeans and sneakers just as easily as you can dress it up with a pair of chinos and a blazer...
