Edwards Garment—Laundry Plus Contrast Collar
Is there anything more classic than a tipped polo shirt? This item from Edwards Garment was included in June’s fan apparel section. Why? Because for every group of high school- or college-aged supporters (and even some elder bleacher creatures who should know better) that decided it would be a good idea to paint their team’s colors on their bare chests, there’s another, equally ardent fan who is quietly rooting on his favorite team. Shouldn’t there be quality fan apparel for the person who doesn’t walk the fine line between earnest cheering and indecent exposure? This piece is made for that guy.
