The verdict
Fit
Slim-cut navy from Ted Baker. At outlet pricing, sizing is standard and proven in the brand's size charts.
Quality
Basic construction at discount tier. Seams and finishes are functional but not durable for heavy wear.
Is the price fair?
Excellent value for a budget pick. No special features, but price is competitive for a brand-name navy polo.
Best for
Value shoppers and bulk-buyers stocking up on workwear basics.
Care
Standard wash and dry; no special care needed at this tier.
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.
