My husband only wears Nautica polos (used to wear Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren) because the material holds up well after many times machine washing & drying and doesn't look old. I always wash & dry them inside out to cut down on wear & tear. The dark ones he's had (black and navy) did fade a bit though, so I recommend washing those in cold water and drying on low-heat or air drying. Spots have come out easily with a little stain remover. (I've used several brands of spray.) These are true to size and have good length on them (but not too long.)
