Classic Surf Polos and Rugby Shirts

Polo shirts have long been part of surf and casual wear, offering a slightly more structured alternative to men's tees while still keeping things relaxed. Golden Breed’s range includes both classic polos and rugby-style tops, giving you versatile options that can be worn across different settings.

These are pieces that feel easy to wear, with clean lines and a timeless look that doesn’t rely on trends.

Vintage Surf Style for Men

This collection leans into Golden Breed’s signature vintage aesthetic, with designs inspired by the golden era of surf culture. Expect classic colourways, subtle striping, and heritage details that feel authentic and wearable.

Many styles are crafted from soft cotton and terry towelling fabrics, adding texture and breathability while maintaining structure.

The result is a range of polos that stand out without feeling overworked.

Comfortable and Easy to Wear

Golden Breed polo shirts are designed for all-day comfort, with relaxed fits and breathable materials that feel good from the moment you put them on. Whether worn on their own or layered, they offer a balance of structure and ease.

These are dependable pieces that can be worn on repeat, season after season.

Men's Polo Shirts

Polos offer a simple way to elevate your everyday look without losing comfort. Slightly more refined than a standard t-shirt, they work well when you want something a bit cleaner while still keeping a relaxed feel.

Pair them with boardshorts, cord shorts or our classic men's shorts for an easy, versatile outfit.

Retro Polo & Rugby FAQs

What's the difference between a polo shirt and a rugby top?

A polo shirt is a lightweight short-sleeve top with a soft collar and a few buttons at the neck, while a rugby top is heavier, usually long-sleeved, with a more structured collar built for warmth and durability. In this collection the polos suit warm-weather wear and the Long Island rugby tops work as a heavier layer for cooler days

What is a terry towelling polo?

A terry towelling polo is a polo made from soft, looped towelling fabric, giving it a textured retro feel and good breathability. Golden Breed's Long Island Terry Polo uses this fabric for a relaxed, vintage surf look that's comfortable in warm weather and around the beach.

What are Golden Breed polos and rugby tops made from?

Golden Breed polos and rugby tops are made from soft cotton and terry towelling fabrics, chosen for breathability, texture and comfort. The cotton styles keep a clean, structured look while the terry styles add a softer, more textured feel. Check the individual product for its exact fabric and care instructions.

What sizes do Golden Breed polos come in?

Golden Breed polos and rugby tops are available in sizes XS through to 3XL, with a relaxed fit through the body. Check the size guide for chest and length measurements and confirm size and colour availability on the individual product before ordering.

How do I style a polo shirt?

A polo shirt is an easy way to look slightly more put-together than a t-shirt while staying relaxed, pairing well with boardshorts or walkshorts for a casual look and with chinos or cord shorts for something a little smarter. The collar and clean lines make it a versatile option for everyday wear, the beach or a casual evening out.

Are polo shirts good for summer?

Polo shirts are a good warm-weather choice because the breathable knit fabric and open collar keep you cool while looking more refined than a t-shirt. Golden Breed's cotton and terry towelling polos are designed for comfort in the heat, making them easy to wear from the beach to a casual evening out.
