The Un-boring Polo Shirt

Original Penguin Men’s Flat Line Polo Shirt – $34.99

Polo shirts can be boring.  But they go with everything.  Original Penguin has found a way to balance the totally boring solid, with the somewhat busy striped polo… with a (wait for it) mainly solid polo with just one stripe.

They do say that necessity is the mother of invention.

Anyway… I think $35 for one polo shirt is actually kind of steep, but Original Penguin does use some good fabric that stretches a bit when you move.  Better than those thick knit polos that feel like you’re wearing a heavy blanket.

And no, I don’t think it’s worth an extra 10 bucks to have the “right” logo on your shirt.  But the Penguin is kinda cool.
