"Much smaller fit than the Medium I bought in a similar style. Need to swap for a large where all other M size in Paul James products have been spot on."
Our Sorrento polo is a lightweight cotton knit designed with a relaxed fit for effortless spring and summer wear. Crafted from 100% locally sourced cotton yarn, the fine gauge construction creates a smooth, breathable handle, whilst the two tone textured structure adds subtle depth and character. The understated colour combination pairs easily with tailored trousers, denim or relaxed summer separates.
The body is knitted in fine tuck stitch stripes using contrasting threads to accentuate the texture of the pattern. A full Milano collar and placket provide structure, whilst tubular hem and cuff trims create a clean finish. French shoulder construction with fashioned detailing adds shape and contributes to the elevated feel of the garment. The relaxed fit offers a casual silhouette that works comfortably on its own or layered throughout the season.
True to size with a relaxed fit.

"I have had my eye on one of these polo shirts for some time but they never seemed to be in stock in my size. I was idly scrolling one day and saw it was in stock so jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t disappointed. It truly is a lovely piece and will no doubt be the first of many."
— Christopher B. (5/5)
"Incredibly high quality. Was surprised how nice it was when it arrived. Slightly thicker knit makes the shirt feel luxurious and gives it a nice drape. Fits perfectly, true to size."
— Jason (5/5)
"Great looking qualitypolo as always from PJ."
