Pringle shop - sale window

The Pringle sale is now on.  I went along to buy some polo shirts.  I like Pringle polo shirts because they are better made than those from many other brands and the fit is better, not so baggy. 

 I bought this sky-blue shirt in the sale. 

Pringle sky-blue Polo shirt

This is from Pringle’s premium polo range. They are made in Italy, and the fit is a little tighter than that of their standard polos.  If you buy one of these I suggest you get a size larger than you normally buy.  Also the cotton is finer, the interlock weave is tighter and the weave itself has more of a contour, which makes the shirt catch the light slightly and gives it a more interesting character.  This range is really nicely tailored, with really good finishing. 

I particularly liked this range (and this shirt) because of the way the weave reverses direction on the collar.  It gives a subtle and stylish contrast between the collar and the body of the shirt.  I also like the fact that the logo is embossed in the same colour as the shirt.  I am not much of a logo man and I prefer this level of subtlety.  

By contrast, the red shirt below is one from Pringle’s standard range, and like all the shirts in this range the log is picked out in a contrasting colour.  Also the buttons are larger and the overall look is more sporty.  I have to say that Pringle do embroider their logos with a degree of reserve that is more suitable for mature men (that would be me).   I could wear the sky-blue under a suit for a casual summer look, but the red is too casual for that look.  Note. The standard range (the red shirt) is not in the sale.     

Pringle Polo shirt - soft red

I bought the sky-blue shirt for £45.00, which is a big discount (The standard retail price on Pringle premium polos is between £65.00 and £70.00, depending on the model). 

 There are some really good items in this sale and I will be going back for more.  I would put this sale at the top of your list
