They offer a couple of different bodies, so it's definitely a matter of finding what works best for you. Other than that, the build is pretty standard and the only distinguishing feature really are their breadth of colorways and branding options.

What is so good about logos in a Polo? It strikes me as bad taste. Having a fucking logo at full visibility in your clothers is just giving free publicity, and working the logo in the design looks horrible.
