The verdict
Fit
Linen fits relaxed and breathes easily. Washed black is softer than crisp black, reading more casual. Runs true to size.
Quality
Linen pollos from Faherty are well-made for the tier. The washed finish adds character; durability improves with washing.
Is the price fair?
84 USD is fair for a linen polo in a quality dye. Reasonable for the fiber quality and brand.
Best for
Men building a linen-heavy warm-weather wardrobe with a neutral that mixes well.
Care
Wash warm and expect creasing; hang to dry to prevent shrinkage.
What owners report about Faherty polos
Third-party coverage of Faherty's polos specifically is thin; most independent reporting covers the brand's knits and shirts as a whole. Editorial reviewers praise the soft washed fabrics and the way they drape, and describe the fit as true to size with a slightly relaxed cut. Customer-review aggregators are more critical: the brand's Trustpilot score sits at 1.9/5 — much of it service and shipping complaints — with several owners reporting garments shrinking a full size even when care instructions were followed.
- Strengths
- Fabric softness and drape are what reviewers consistently single out across the brand's knits.
- Watch out for
- The recurring product complaint is shrinkage after washing — one Trustpilot reviewer said items "shrunk an entire size" despite air drying — along with prices that editorial reviewers concede are a tough sell.
- Sizing
- Editorial reviewers describe the fit as true to size with a slightly relaxed cut through the chest and shoulders, though some customer reviews report inconsistent sizing between garments.
