Instantly recognizable by Polo Ralph Lauren's signature embroidered pony, which requires a total of 982 individual stitches to produce, Ralph Lauren’s polo shirt has been an icon of American style since 1972. This roomy version is printed with a foulard-inspired pattern and cut from soft cotton interlock, which offers a smoother hand than Polo Ralph Lauren's original’s mesh fabric. Its classic fit is the roomiest style and is cut for a lower armhole and fuller sleeve that falls closer to the elbow.
