The $10 Lands’ End Canvas Jersey Polo

Lands’ End Canvas Men’s Jersey Polo – $9.99

The Express Signature Polo is dead.  Long live the Express Signature polo.

An Express Signature on top of the L.E.C. jersey. Both are size medium. Notice the size difference.

Who knows if Express is going to bring back their 97% cotton 3% spandex polo in the spring.  There have been rumors that they will, but in the meantime there’s no clear cut heir to the slim fit non pique polo throne.

Lands’ End Canvas offers up a decent substitute, and at $10 you can’t argue with the price, but it’s just not as good as the Express signature.  Like the Express signature, there’s no logo on the chest, but instead of a completely blank front you get a pocket.  Some guys will like that.  Some will not.

It’s a trim fit but not quite as trim as the Express Signature.  The L.E.C. version is 100% cotton and while the Express polo moves with you thanks to the stretch, this one (although it does have some nice spring and snap back to the cloth) adds a touch of slack at the sides.

The sleeves are not as short as the borderline too short Express sleeves, and the tail on the L.E.C. drops a bit farther down in back.  Shipping from Lands’ End Canvas was fast, and when it arrived… a $10 gift card (plus free shipping on my next purchase) was included in the package.  Probably a “thanks for your first purchase” addition, but still.  That was pretty nice of them.

Overall, a solid polo that should hold up well for just $10… but paying triple for the Express signature will be well worth it if they ever reappear.

    Aeropostale, of all brands, used to make a great signature polo. Comfortable (~100% cotton I think), slim fitting, subdued logo, and a $15 price point. Great quality too, as the shirts I bought 5-6 years ago are still holding up nicely.

    Unfortunately I think this line is long discontinued. Most of the stuff I’ve seen from Aero recently is junk. I always check to see if those polos have made a comeback though.

    I tried to size down with this polo (from a M to a S) to get a trimmer fit, and it was just too small, I had to return it. Being able to return Lands End to Sears, in addition to the free shipping + 30% off they seem to have every other month makes this a good gamble, in my opinion. I did like the colour, and the material was very nice too; it just didn’t fit…

    I’m a 46L with a jacket, which almost always puts me in between a L and XL – L is usually too short in sleeves or length, and XL just has too much excess everywhere.
    What would you guys recommend on this shirt?

    I know dappered loves those Express signature polos, but I’ve found that after a certain number of washes the collar points start to get a strange curl at the ends, where it kind of rolls in toward the shirt rather than staying straight. I don’t know if that’s just me, but its happened on both the ones I own.

    I still like the fit and stretch, but I don’t know if I’d buy anymore after that.

    @Adam: I’ve seen that same thing. Kind of annoying.

    I’ll give this a shot. I was heartbroken when Target discontinued their Mossimo polos. Those were just about perfect for me (and, oh, so cheap).

    I wish there more variety in colors

    I love my Banana Republic Fitted Pima Polo. Great trim fit and the collar is one of the few that retains its shape over time.

    @Ryan: I’m with you man. It’s my second favorite. And as far as the collar curl goes with the Express Signatures, it happens on my black polo… but not my gray. Strange.

    Has BR discontinued THOSE too? Can’t seem to find them on their website?

    Cheers,
