Kirkland killer men's polo shirts

We are living in a back to basics time. Luxury brands are expected to suffer if they even survive in today's tight and changing economy. It's really the basics that matter. No room for designer labels or logos. And for the basics, there's really no better place to shop than Costco. Hey, you don't even have to mess around with waiting in line to get a fitting room. Just take them home and if they don't fit or you don't like them, bring them back. For casual, business casual or occasionally dressier, puruse those clothes bins at Costco whenever you're in the store.

While I can't speak for the women's side of the isle, it's hard to beat the basic Dockers, Levis and especially Kirkland brand apparel, though I did notice recently, they were carrying some $80 designer jeans. (I have to admit to having splurged on occasion for a pair of Lucky jeans.) The Kirkland apparel is a great value. In fact, Costco is super picky about anything it puts its private label on. They usually aren't fancy, but they are super well put together at a killer price.

My latest find is the men's Kirkland pique polo shirts. They come in black, white, pale yellow, navy, medium blue, light blue, mint green, charcoal, gray, pink and melon. I've purchased four of these shirts because they fit me super well and are great with jeans and shorts on a weekend. They're also super comfortable. They are heavier most polo shirts at a fraction of the price. They are a steal at $12.99. These shirts need little care and because they are beefy, keep their shape nicely. And, polos never got out of style.

  1. Usually Kirkland brand merchandise sticks around for a while but I couldn't find the Kirkland polo shirts today. So I bouth a Hathaway. It fits well. Pat says its pima instead of pique. The label says "slub texture".
