Short-Sleeve Linen Polo - Whitecap
The verdict
Fit
Linen has natural wrinkle and breathability; fit sits relaxed and unstructured. Runs true to size; expect the fabric to settle differently on first wash.
Quality
Pure or near-pure linen holds up well and softens with wear. Faherty's linen polos are straightforward—no special finishes, just clean weaving.
Price check
84 USD is fair for a linen polo. You're paying a modest premium over cotton for breathability and longevity; reasonable tier.
Best for
Men wanting a breathable, warm-weather polo that improves with laundering and suits tropical or hot-weather travel.
Care
Wash warm and expect wrinkles; linen is meant to crease. Air dry to prevent uneven shrinkage.

Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

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.
