Questions about the CR Polo

This is a copy from a different thread, but I'm not sure that was the right place for it, so I am revisiting it in its own thread.
I have a question for the Sunspel Polo people. Does the polo have hemmed or banded sleeves? The second question is does anyone have a real world comparison of sizes? I have a t-shirt but I don't have a polo because they only go to XL, I am an XXL and 6' tall, the xxl t-shirt fits, but I have been worried about buying the polo. If the shirt stretches well especially length wise I'll be good. If not, I wonder if they with custom make a number of them. Anyone big on this group or know the answer?
If I could buy a shirt off of the rack my size I'd be a 20 fitted tall and my suit size would be a 56 chest 38 pant! That is why I tend to buy clothes bespoke. This whole athletic and muscle fit stuff now days just means short for me. Regular cut fits me the way the athletic cut fits other people.

Thank you, Asp9mm! {[]
sry Clarky, missed this yesterday, and the other thread.....ur qn deserves an answer...
I'm 43 chest, 6 foot, and I have 2 of these polos, both xl...they just fit me (after washing, even more JUST)...
regarding length, they arn't generous, but they are long enough to stay in ur pants...
I'd guess with ur size, you'd def need a xxl or bigger...why don't you ask them if they'd go up a size?...
BTW, I also hit the bid the same day, and got the "wait until mid-may" email to which i too replied NP...
still no show...
Cool that helps me very much. I didn't want to buy the shirt if I had no use for it. I think I will talk to them about making a larger one, or several. I would think six or so would make them interested, at least T&A do six minimum, why not Sunspel.
I am usually an XL size guy (US sizes).
The blue Navy CR Polo IS infact available in XXL size and that's what I went for for myself.
I also have a Sunspel size guide as a PDF file, so, please drop me an email (I have lost your email addy) and I'll forward it to you.
Kind regards

I'm thinking of buying a sunspel polo. I'm usually a Medium or Large (in Australia). As a reference point, ralph lauren custom fit polos in medium are a good fit for me. How would this translate to the sunspel? I'm thinking I might go large as medium might be too small...but it's a tricky one.
I don't want to get it wrong as it's a fairly big purchase for me.
please pm me your email address.

My recommendation is to go with your exact body dimensions and then use the mentioned Sunspel size guide.
Sounds much more accurate than following the general advise here to go for 1 size up.

But what's the comparison of that to the shirt? How much bigger is the shirt? I know LL bean has a polo shirt in large (for body sizes 42-44) but the actual size of the shirt is 48.
