U.S. Polo Assn. Slim Fit Pique Polo Shirt
U.S. Polo Assn. (Official brand of the United States Polo Association) · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Tops > Polo Shirts
Era / Decade
2010s - 2020s (Modern); based on the black woven neck tag and "Slim Fit" branding.
Material
Cotton/Polyester blend (likely 60/40 or 100% cotton pique), made in Bangladesh. Common mid-range pique knit fabric.
Condition
Good. Shows visible pilling on the collar edge and slight fading of the green fabric. The purple logo embroidery appears intact. No major holes or stains visible in the photo, but typical "thrift-grade" wear.
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While it is a staple item, the market is saturated with this brand and it does not hold high value compared to Ralph Lauren or Lacoste.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $15.00
Estimated Retail Value
$30.00 - $44.00 (Often sold at discount retailers like Ross, Marshalls, or Kohl's for $15-$20).
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings for pre-owned USPA polos average between $7 and $12 plus shipping. Higher prices ($15+) are usually reserved for New With Tags (NWT) items or unusual colors.
Description
Men's U.S. Polo Assn. short-sleeve polo shirt in a vibrant kelly green. Features a contrasting purple oversized horsemen logo on the chest and a slim-fit silhouette. Classical two-button placket with ribbed collar and cuffs. Perfect for casual wear or sporty styling.
Key Features
Vibrant colorway, recognizable brand logo, slim-fit sizing which is currently popular with younger demographics.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This is a mass-market brand and rarely counterfeited. The labels and stitching are consistent with standard USPA production.
Flaws to Note
Fabric piling on the collar and placket edges; general wash-wear fading. This brand is often confused with the high-luxury 'Polo Ralph Lauren', which significantly lowers its resale demand.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace. These platforms are best for lower-cost 'bread and butter' clothing items.
Selling Tips
Bundle this with other similar size polos to justify shipping costs for the buyer. Use keywords like 'preppy', 'activewear', and 'casual'. Take clear photos of the logo and size tag. List during spring or summer months for peak demand.
