14th & Union Polo Shirt – Classic Fit Men’s Polo
Our 14th & Union polo shirt delivers timeless style with a modern fit. Crafted from 100% piqué cotton, this polo offers breathability and structure for all-day comfort. The classic fit provides room through the chest and shoulders without excess fabric, making it ideal for both casual outings and smart-casual settings.
Designed with a traditional three-button placket and ribbed collar and cuffs, this polo maintains its shape wash after wash. We’ve tailored it to be versatile enough for a weekend barbecue or a Friday at the office. The soft cotton drapes naturally, resisting wrinkles while maintaining a polished look from morning to evening.
Fabric & fit details
Piqué cotton construction
We chose 100% piqué cotton for its distinctive textured weave and superior breathability. The raised pattern creates tiny air pockets across the fabric surface, allowing heat to escape while maintaining structure. Unlike jersey knit polos that can feel clingy in warm weather, piqué cotton stands slightly away from the skin for all-day comfort.
This fabric weight strikes the right balance between durability and softness. The cotton fibers are pre-shrunk before cutting, so your polo maintains its dimensions through repeated laundering. Piqué also resists pilling better than standard knits, keeping the surface smooth season after season. Whether you’re layering it under a blazer or wearing it solo, the textured weave adds visual interest without sacrificing versatility.
Classic fit for everyday comfort
Our classic fit is designed for men who want a polo that looks sharp without clinging. We cut the chest and shoulders with enough room for natural movement, then taper slightly at the waist to avoid a boxy silhouette. The armholes sit at a comfortable height, allowing you to raise your arms freely without pulling the hem upward.
This fit accommodates a range of body types and works equally well tucked or untucked. If you typically wear a medium in our men’s shirts and prefer a relaxed fit through the torso, this polo will align with your expectations. The side vents add extra mobility, making this piece ideal for active days when you need to move without restriction.
Care and maintenance
Machine wash your 14th & Union polo shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle. We recommend turning it inside out before washing to protect the buttons and preserve color vibrancy. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach, which can weaken cotton fibers over time.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to minimize shrinkage. If you prefer a crisp look, iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp. The piqué weave naturally resists wrinkles, so many of our customers skip ironing altogether. Store your polo folded rather than on a hanger to prevent shoulder dimples and maintain the collar’s shape between wears.

Questions about the 14th & Union polo shirt
Our classic fit polo runs true to size with a relaxed cut through the chest and shoulders. If you typically wear a medium in dress shirts or casual polos from major retailers, a medium in our line will fit similarly. The fit is less tapered than slim-fit styles but more refined than traditional big-and-tall cuts. We recommend referencing our size chart for chest and length measurements if you’re between sizes.
Yes, you can tumble dry the 14th & Union polo shirt on low heat. We pre-shrink the fabric before construction to minimize additional shrinkage, but low heat is gentler on cotton fibers and helps maintain the polo’s shape over time. For best results, remove it from the dryer while slightly damp and lay flat or hang to finish drying. This method reduces wrinkles and extends the life of the ribbed collar and cuffs.
We currently offer the 14th & Union classic fit polo in navy, white, charcoal gray, forest green, and burgundy. Each color is designed to coordinate with a wide range of pants and shorts in your existing wardrobe. Seasonal colors may be introduced periodically, so check back if you’re looking for something specific beyond our core palette.
The 100% piqué cotton construction provides excellent breathability for warm weather. The textured weave creates small air channels that allow heat and moisture to escape, keeping you cooler than solid jersey knits. Many customers wear this polo comfortably in temperatures above 85°F. If you need enhanced moisture management for athletic activities, consider our performance polo with moisture-wicking technology.
The hem length is designed to hit just below the belt line, making it suitable for wearing tucked or untucked. On a six-foot-tall man wearing a size large, the hem falls approximately mid-zipper when untucked. The side vents add about half an inch of extra length at the sides, preventing the polo from riding up when you sit or move. Exact measurements are available in our size chart for each size.
The mother-of-pearl buttons are sewn with reinforced stitching to withstand repeated laundering. We use a cross-stitch method that distributes stress across multiple thread paths, so buttons are less likely to loosen or fall off. After dozens of wash cycles in customer testing, button retention remains at 100%. If you ever experience a loose button, our customer service team can assist with a quick fix or replacement.
Absolutely. The 14th & Union polo shirt meets most business casual dress codes when paired with chinos or dress pants. The classic fit and structured piqué fabric give it a more polished appearance than athletic or overly casual polos. Many of our customers wear it for client meetings, office environments, and professional events where a suit isn’t required. For added formality, layer it under a blazer or sport coat.
