How can you tell if a polo shirt is vintage?
To tell if a polo shirt is vintage, you'll need to determine whether it is at least 20 years old. To do so, identify the maker using the tag inside the neckline. By researching the brand using trusted online resources, you can learn what characteristics to look for when dating its pieces. For example, Ralph Lauren has changed its label designs frequently over the years, so the logo, font, color and wording on tags can be helpful when dating a piece. With other makers, you may need to examine stitching, fabric content, wash tag design and other details. If you need help with the dating process, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, explore a range of polo shirts.
