The verdict
Fit
Linen polos drape more loosely than cotton; expect Ted Baker's contemporary cut with defined shoulders but a softer silhouette.
Quality
Linen at this tier is quality fiber with solid stitching; construction is sound for warm-weather wear, though not luxury-refined.
Is the price fair?
Fair designer premium. Linen fiber justifies some cost; Ted Baker's design and positioning carry the rest.
Best for
Someone wanting linen performance and designer aesthetics who can handle wrinkles and accept the associated price.
Care
Linen wrinkles visibly; wash cool and air-dry completely to avoid mildew, which linen absorbs.
What owners report about Ted Baker polos
Owner reports on Ted Baker's shirts and polos centre on fit and design more than durability. Styleforum posters praise the slim cut and collar shape but split on how the fabric ages — one reported fabrics looking worn after only a few washes, while another's shirt still looked new after two years of washing. Reviewers of the golf polo line note the shirts are a 95/5 cotton-elastane knit rather than full synthetic, with printed inner yokes, metal collar snaps and trim details, and consistently say the cut runs small.
- Strengths
- Reviewers single out the slim, well-proportioned cut, collar shape and print/trim detailing as what the line does best.
- Watch out for
- Durability is the split point — one Styleforum owner reported construction that is "OK, not amazing" with fabrics looking worn after a few washes — and the slim cut leaves little room if you are between sizes.
- Sizing
- Multiple reviewers report the polos run small and slim; golf reviewers advise sizing up a full size from your usual.
