Ash & Erie Tech Polo

Here’s another short sleeve polo from A&E, this one made from 100% synthetic materials (think golf wear).

I prefer the fit of their standard polo to this one, mostly because of the sleeve width.

I’m also not crazy about the bright red color, which totally washes me out. This bright, saturated hue would look good on darker skin tones and might be more appropriate for the golf course.

Ash & Erie Short Sleeve Shirt

As of summer 2020, Ash & Erie released a bunch of short sleeve shirts in various colors, patterns and fabrics.

These are sized just like their long sleeve button ups, so I took my same size (XS, slim fit).

I chose the Basin Blue colorway, which is a textured violet-blue linen-cotton blend (25% linen).

It fits just like the Everyday Shirt, except the sleeves are shorter (duh).

After wearing this shirt a few times, I’m very happy with the fit, although I prefer cuffing the sleeves once for a slightly shorter, more tapered look.

Ash & Erie Chinos

I wanted to mention that I tried their chinos as well. Like the jeans, these are slim fit and have some stretch built in.

But for some reason, size 28 is too snug in the waist and hips, but 29 is too roomy.

I didn’t have this problem with the jeans, which is weird because the chinos should have more stretch (3% instead of 2%). It might have to do with the construction or weight of the fabric.

That said, I don’t have a hard time finding chinos that fit. I tend to wear chinos cuffed, and many brands make shorter inseam chinos these days, so finding the right length isn’t an issue.

For this reason, I probably wouldn’t buy my chinos from Ash & Erie, at least not until they come out with a different cut that works better for my build.
