From then on the style was popular with polo players and tennis players and the sports fans and then in 1972 Ralph Lauren included his “polo shirt” as a prominent part of his original line called Polo, thereby helping to further its already widespread popularity.

Today polo shirts are hugely popular in women’s and men’s clothing as well as useful uniform when the t-shirt looks too casual. Now you can get polo shirts in a wide range of colours, some with patterns and pictures on and some with brand writing.

Other benefits of creating your own t-shirts is you can choose the style, colour and fit and tailoring it to your own specific needs, there is no end to what you can create. Companies like www.splashlogo.co.uk have a huge selection of clothing and accessories that can be printed upon either by digital transfer, embroidery, subli flock or DTG printing, so you can personalise your whole outfit if you wish.

Their 12 piece limited edition range in conjunction with Surface To Air (a ‘multidisciplinary company combining fashion, communication and film’) feature the bands style, like the band’s signature bandana, in a red and black check and paisley print, for £63 as well as a whole load of homespun Americana, true ‘Marlboro Man’ attire, including plaid ‘woodsman’ shirts, skinny jeans, plaited leather belts and fedoras.

This range however does seem to be marketed at the higher end of the scale with prices ranging from £720 for a leather jacket.
