Best American-Made Polo Shirts
Best overall: Classic Polo by American Giant. Made in Middlesex, NC. $68.
How we picked these. Every polo on this list is knit, cut, and sewn in the United States. We evaluated fabric weight, collar structure, stitching quality, and how each shirt holds up after repeated washes using our Workshop Score methodology. No flimsy collars allowed.
Classic Polo
American Giant is the brand that made heavyweight American-made basics cool again. The Classic Polo has a substantial pique knit that feels nothing like the tissue-thin polos at the mall. The collar stays flat after dozens of washes. This is the polo I wear most.
Pros
- Heavyweight pique knit feels substantial
- Collar stays flat wash after wash
- Excellent fit for athletic builds
Cons
- Limited color options compared to big brands
- Runs slightly slim
Classic Polo
Todd Shelton lets you pick your exact fit before you buy. They manufacture everything in their East Rutherford factory and the quality control is tight. The pima cotton fabric is soft without being flimsy and the construction is clean throughout. Premium price, premium product.
Pros
- Custom fit options based on your measurements
- Pima cotton fabric is exceptionally soft
- Made-to-order reduces waste
Cons
- Most expensive polo on this list
- Longer wait time for made-to-order
Classic Polo
All American Clothing is exactly what the name says. Everything is sourced and made domestically. The polo is straightforward pique cotton with a no-nonsense fit. At $40 this is the most affordable American-made polo I have found that does not cut corners on construction.
Pros
- Best price for a fully American-made polo
- Domestically sourced cotton
- Classic relaxed fit
Cons
- Fabric is not as refined as premium options
- Collar structure is decent but not stiff
Standard Polo
Bills Khakis is known for their pants but the polo deserves more attention. The interlock knit fabric has a smooth, dressy hand feel. The fit is a touch more generous than American Giant which works well for guys who do not want skin-tight. Clean collar construction.
Pros
- Interlock knit has a dressy feel
- Generous fit without being baggy
- Pairs perfectly with their khakis
Cons
- Not as many color options
- Pricier than the fabric weight might suggest
Garment Dyed Polo
Homage started with vintage sports tees and their polo carries that relaxed DNA. The garment-dyed fabric has a broken-in feel from day one. It is softer and more casual than the other polos here. Good option if you want something that looks like you have owned it for years.
Pros
- Garment-dyed for a vintage broken-in feel
- Super soft from day one
- Fun brand with personality
Cons
- Collar is softer and less structured
- Not ideal for business casual settings
Eudae Polo
Pistol Lake makes performance-oriented basics in LA and the Eudae Polo is their standout. The Eudae fabric is a proprietary blend that wicks moisture and resists odor without feeling synthetic. Perfect for guys who run hot. The minimalist design works for the office or the weekend.
Pros
- Eudae fabric wicks moisture and resists odor
- Does not feel synthetic despite performance features
- Great for hot climates
Cons
- Fabric has a slight sheen some may not prefer
- Limited size range
