Kent Wang Clan ain’t nothin’ to mess wit’
C. Benjamin
Actually, you should mess with Kent Wang. His polos came out of nowhere and took the internet by storm. What sets these apart from your run of the mill polo shirt as the subtle spread collar that is reinforced to stand up even while worn with a blazer. One of the lamest looks, particularly in the South, is the blazer over the lame collar of a polo shirt not meant to stay up with a blazer. I was one of handful of bloggers to put down their own cash to see what the fuss was all about and boy was I pleasantly surprised.

They do, indeed, stand up while worn with a blazer even in the summer heat. They are cut quite slim and most guys should size up at least on size.
I normally wear a medium in brands like Gap and Brooks Brothers extra slim fit and sized up to a large for a proper fit. They are nice and light, and the reinforced spread collar adds a refinement that most polo shirts just don’t have. I wore mine all day Saturday in 80+ degree heat and it looked great through a few hours of grilling and beer pong.
At $65, they are pricier than other options but considering that price includes free 2 day Priority shipping they are on par with most other polos on the market. I ordered mine on a Friday afternoon and received it Monday. I can say from experience, it certainly pays to drop a little extra on polo shirts. They currently come in four colors, but Kent has recently started a Tumblr and is actually taking suggestions on possible future colors as well as style features.
