Sharp Dressed Man: The Polo for Men by Johnnie-O Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

The Striped 4-Button Polo for men by Johnnie-O is an absolute must in your summer wardrobe, readers of the male persuasion on Whom You Know!  It has a flawless fit, great quality and an all-American allure that stands out from all of the other Polo shirts on the market.  As you may know if you know Peachy Deegan quite well, there is only one person on earth that is more selective than Peachy (where do you think she gets it from!) - and he has been kind enough to model for us.  He says that this is the very best Polo he's ever worn.  Our model is wearing a medium and he is 5'9 and 150 lbs, and like Johnnie-O, is also related to someone named Chris that went to Boston College and he especially loves the hockey and football games.  If you are an Eagle especially, this is what you should be wearing if you want to Excel.
Of course, Irish people wear their cap for summer drives.
Driving your Corvette is even more exciting when you are wearing the right shirt!
Stripes are such fun for summer.

Truly a classic...where comfort and style meet. Your new favorite shirt the instant you put it on.
100% Combed Cotton Jersey.
Sometimes the best look is a crisp white shirt, and Johnnie-O makes that Polo too.
Again, this is tops just like the striped one and is a solid for summer.
Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Polo for Men by Johnnie-O!
Two thumbs up from Daddy-O too.

Right place, right time. So goes the story for the birth of johnnie-O apparel. It was back in 2004 that founder, John O'Donnell, was helping a friend with what might be called a "hobby". Little did O'Donnell know at the time that this so called "hobby" would turn into what it is today! 

Growing up in Chicago, having lived in Wisconsin, spending lots of time on the east coast, and now living in southern California, O'Donnell had been exposed to all walks of life, from the midwest farmer to the east coast prep to the west coast "dude". The stage was set to build an apparel brand whose recipe included just a "dash" of flavor from all of the above. 

As word quickly spread about the johnnie-O brand, an emergence of shoppers looking to "step out" in a classic, yet fun way followed suit. From its humble beginning as just an ordinary polo shirt, the johnnie-O line has evolved into an apparel and lifestyle brand distinctly defined as "west coast prep". Items for men, women, and children now include shirts, belts, hats, socks, sweatshirts, and other specialty items including all weather shorts, the "wedge" collar pique polo, as well as johnnie-O GolfSkins. 

The brand has attracted the likes of celebrity personalities including NFL quarterback Drew Brees, tennis legend Pete Sampras, baseball ace Barry Zito, as well as actors Adrian Grenier of "Entourage", Luke Wilson, and brother, Chris O'Donnell. Additionally, johnnie-O sponsors the racing efforts of GT superstar and recent Rolex Series Rookie of the year, Tim George Jr. 

The brand has also been recognized philanthropically for its contributions to numerous charitable organizations such as Autism Speaks, The BreesDream Foundation, Friends of Golf Foundation, The John Thomas Dye School Foundation, among many others.
