Port Southern

The good gents over at Port Southern dropped a black Southern Heritage Polo in the mail for me and I gotta say I was impressed right away.


The pique cotton is the thickest I've ever felt and incredibly soft. The fit is on point - not too tight or too baggy and it hits someplace between a Lacoste (too short to tuck in) and an RL Polo (too long to leave un-tucked). Additionally, for all you golfers you'll totally dig the sleeves, as Steven shared with me, it's designed to hit just above the bend in your elbow.

Besides being entrepreneurs, the founders are also philanthropist with a portion of every sale going to the Pineapple Fund benefiting the High Point Community Foundation.

Now you know you can look good while doing good. www.PortSouthern.com


Thanks again to Steven and guys of Port Southern for sending a shirt my way and taking some time to discuss their company.

  2. This is great! Thanks a million for sharing with us. My husband will love it - especially because of the GOLF SLEEVE feature :)

    Port Southern should get their brand into Perlis in NOLA, and expand the line to include us Southern ladies!! ;) I would love a pineapple polo!

  3. Getting ready to check out of their store and -bam-7.75% tax added. Never seen that before-I don't live in North Carolina and my Virginia tax rate is 5%. Backed out of that order fast

    Like the produce and happy to support their cause but they need to get this right first

  4. This whole southern polo shirt explosion thing is interesting, any word on how these compare to Southern Tide? I've heard good things from friends about those.

  6. PS: My pleasure.

    Trish: He will love the sleeve and will have tons of colors to choose from in the coming weeks and a Ladies shift.

    Anon: I believe they have a discount running through V-Day that could get you those shirts. Steven?

    Manifold: I haven't compared them yet, but expecting to in the coming weeks. There are several companies out there - including Southern Point as well.

    PGG: No sweat friend.

  8. DAM and Annon: We are currently having a sale on our Southern Hospitality Polos ending on February 10. This is a great deal on a great polo and you also get to join in on spreading some Southern hospitality to others.

    We apologize for any inconveniences with our shopping cart or with our sales tax rates, but we are just trying to abide by our state laws. Thanks for all of your support and keep spreading Southern hospitality!

  9. I saw these a while back. Of the 'southern polo shirt' explosion, these look the most professional.

  11. Good luck with you new business and with your charitable giving. TOn the sales tax comment earlier-The sales tax laws in North Carolina do not require that you collect sales & use tax for out of state shipments unless you have what is called a "nexus" in that other state. Assuming you don't have a "nexus" or office/retail store outside of North Carolina, there is no need to collect sales tax for out of state shipments.
