- DanBC 11y agoThat's not a polo shirt. A polo shirt is a cotton t shirt, with a collar, and a button up neck. The collar is soft and un-boned and is not button down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polo_shirt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polo_shirt EDIT: although you're right that button down collars did start in polo.
