roughly 3.8 cm longer than the Custom Slim Fit, this extra length gives the classic polo enough tail to stay tucked or to hang cleanly untucked without climbing over the belt — the functional difference that keeps the silhouette looking staple, not cropped.","sleeve_length_vs_custom_slim":"Sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff is 24 cm on a Medium classic fit — 3.5 cm longer than the 20.5 cm sleeve on the Custom Slim Fit in the same size — so the classic polo’s sleeve sits lower on the biceps and contributes to the relaxed, traditional silhouette instead of the high-and-tight modern cut.","chest_circumference_across_sizes":"The classic fit polo chest runs 104 cm (S), 112 cm (M), 120.5 cm (L), and 131 cm (XL) — the most generous chest in Ralph Lauren’s polo range, measuring 7.6 cm larger than the Custom Slim Fit and a full 15.2 cm larger than the Slim Fit, delivering the kind of un-tapered room that defines a traditional polo worn as a standalone top rather than a compression piece."},"entry_quotes":{"shoulder_width":[{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| M | 75.0 | 46.0 | 24.0 | 112.0 | 38.0–39.0 |"},{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| Custom Slim vs Classic | 7.6 smaller | 2.5 narrower | 3.8 shorter | 2.5 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 7.6 smaller |"}],"rear_body_length_by_size":[{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| M | 75.0 | 46.0 | 24.0 | 112.0 | 38.0–39.0 |"},{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| Custom Slim vs Classic | 7.6 smaller | 2.5 narrower | 3.8 shorter | 2.5 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 7.6 smaller |"}],"sleeve_length_vs_custom_slim":[{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| M | 75.0 | 46.0 | 24.0 | 112.0 | 38.0–39.0 |"},{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| M | 71.0 | 44.5 | 20.5 | 104.0 | 38.0–39.5 |"}],"chest_circumference_across_sizes":[{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| L | 77.5 | 48.5 | 25.0 | 120.5 | 40.5–42.0 |"},{"url":"https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre","quote":"| Custom Slim vs Classic | 7.6 smaller | 2.5 narrower | 3.8 shorter | 2.5 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 3.8 shorter | 7.6 smaller |"}]},"entry_sources":{"shoulder_width":["https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre"],"rear_body_length_by_size":["https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre"],"sleeve_length_vs_custom_slim":["https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre"],"chest_circumference_across_sizes":["https://www.ecru.es/en/pages/guia-de-tallas-polo-ralph-lauren-para-hombre"]}},"pastel_color_options_in_real_life":{"title":"How the pastel colors look in person","entries":{"pink_real_world_shade":"In natural light the Pink reads as a warm, salmon-tinged pastel rather than a cool baby pink, frequently described by resale sellers as a \"vibrant salmon pink or coral hue,\" and it pairs with a light blue embroidered pony logo that provides a preppy contrast against the soft color."},"entry_quotes":{"pink_real_world_shade":[{"url":"https://poshmark.com/listing/Polo-Ralph-Lauren-Mens-XL-Classic-Fit-Salmon-Pink-Short-Sleeve-Pique-Polo-Shirt-6a13b22adff1f15be10758d4","quote":"vibrant salmon pink or coral hue"},{"url":"https://poshmark.com/listing/Polo-Ralph-Lauren-Mens-XL-Classic-Fit-Salmon-Pink-Short-Sleeve-Pique-Polo-Shirt-6a13b22adff1f15be10758d4","quote":"iconic light blue embroidered pony logo"}]},"entry_sources":{"pink_real_world_shade":["https://poshmark.com/listing/Polo-Ralph-Lauren-Mens-XL-Classic-Fit-Salmon-Pink-Short-Sleeve-Pique-Polo-Shirt-6a13b22adff1f15be10758d4","https://poshmark.com/listing/Polo-Ralph-Lauren-Classic-Fit-Pink-Pique-Short-Sleeve-Polo-Mens-Large-Blue-Pony-6a53cf6edc3b4656f4faf837"]}}}},"handle":"pastel-pique-polo-classic-fit-9659-26318","storefront_path":"/en/men-clothing/polos/short-sleeves/pastel-pique-polo-classic-fit--9659-26318","storefront_url":"https://ai.simons.ca/en/men-clothing/polos/short-sleeves/pastel-pique-polo-classic-fit--9659-26318"}}
