Original Penguin Discount Codes — Polos, Menswear & Golf

Original Penguin is a heritage menswear label built around the polo shirt, with The Earl Polo — a signature style dating back to the 1950s and named after the bowler Earl Anthony — still at the centre of the range. Alongside polos it sells t-shirts, shirts, knitwear, shorts, swim, trousers, outerwear, footwear and dedicated golf and tennis/padel collections. UK delivery is free over £50.

What They Make

• Polos — the core of the brand, including The Earl.
• T-shirts, shirts and knitwear.
• Shorts, swim shorts and trousers.
• Sweatshirts, hoodies and outerwear.
• Golf and tennis/padel collections for men and women.
• Footwear and accessories.

What Makes a Good Polo Shirt

Polos are bought casually and fit badly more often than any other simple garment. Three things decide it. The collar should hold its shape and stand slightly rather than flopping — a collapsed collar is what makes a polo look cheap after a few washes. The sleeve should end around mid-bicep and sit close, not billow. And the body should follow your shape without pulling at the buttons.

The Earl is described as a blend of cotton and TENCEL with contrast piping and a self-fabric collar. That fabric mix matters practically: TENCEL adds drape and moisture handling to cotton, so the shirt hangs better and holds up in heat rather than clinging.

Golf and Racquet Ranges Are Different Garments

The golf and tennis collections are not simply branded versions of the casual line. Sport polos use technical fabrics that wick and stretch, with construction designed to move through a swing or a serve rather than to look right standing still.

If you play, buy from the sport range; the casual cotton polo will be damp and restrictive by the ninth hole. If you do not, the casual range is more comfortable for everyday wear and looks less like sportswear off the course — technical polos read as athletic in a way cotton does not.

Caring for a Polo So It Survives

Polos die at the collar and the shoulders. Wash cool and inside out, and avoid the tumble dryer, which is what shrinks the collar band and leaves it wavy. Never hang a wet knitted polo on a thin hanger — the weight of the water stretches shoulder points into permanent bumps. Dry flat, or hang once nearly dry on a wide hanger.

Fasten the top button before washing to help the placket keep its shape, and wash dark colours with like colours for the first few cycles, as piped and contrast-trimmed shirts can transfer dye early on.

Building a Wardrobe Around Polos

A polo is one of the few garments that works across smart-casual, sport and holiday wear, which is why buying two or three good ones beats buying six mediocre ones. Stick to solid colours for versatility — navy, white and a mid tone cover almost everything — and treat pattern and contrast trim as the occasional piece rather than the staple.

For layering, a polo works under a knit or an unstructured jacket in a way a t-shirt does not, because the collar gives the neckline structure. That is worth remembering when the weather turns and you would otherwise pack them away.

Sizing Across the Ranges

Sport and casual pieces from the same brand rarely fit identically, because performance garments are cut closer and use fabrics with more stretch. If you know your size in the casual range, do not assume it carries into the golf or tennis collection — check the specific size guidance, and factor in whether you want the closer athletic fit or something more relaxed.
