The verdict
Fit
Standard pique fit; true to size with a relaxed chest and subtle taper. The bright aqua reads lighter and more casual than darker tones.
Quality
Cotton pique from Faherty holds structure and resists pilling. The sunwashed finish softens without weakening the weave.
Is the price fair?
128 USD is fair for a quality cotton pique in a summer-ready color. Not discounted, but justly priced for durability.
Best for
Men seeking a bright, seasonal polo for warm-weather weekends and resort settings.
Care
Wash in cool water separately to prevent color bleeding; lay flat to dry to maintain shape.
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.
