The verdict
Fit
Men's cut. Rugby polos typically run loose through the body; size down if you prefer a closer fit or check fit reviews for this model's specifics.
Quality
Citizens of Humanity maintains consistent seaming and yarn quality in this price tier. Expect durability typical of contemporary designer sportswear.
Is the price fair?
At $218 for a men's rugby shirt, this is mid-premium. The price reflects brand positioning more than technical specification; fair if you value the design.
Best for
Men who wear polos regularly and want designer polish without workwear durability requirements.
Care
Machine wash cold, lay flat or hang dry; warm water and dryers risk fading the dyes.
Fit check: Citizens of Humanity
Runs largeCitizens of Humanity tends to run about half a size large and stretches with wear, so most owners size down for a fitted look.
A stylist's sizing guide reports the brand "generally run[s] about half a size large" and that owners "expect about an inch of stretch in the waistband after a few hours of wear," advising those between sizes to go down one. Hands-on reviewers back this up across cuts: one who ordered her chart size in the Horseshoe jean found it loose and repurchased a size down, and a shorts reviewer says the relaxed styles "run really big" and always sizes down. The caveat owners flag is line-level: relaxed and baggy cuts run largest, while high-rise styles fit closer to true size — and older forum threads on the skinny-era styles were more mixed.
Sizing advice: Size down one if you're between sizes or want a snug fit — especially in relaxed and baggy cuts, which stretch and loosen with wear; stay true to size only if you want the intentionally slouchy look.
