Polo shirts by Polo Ralph Lauren are a timeless classic. Whether you’re working, sailing, golfing, or relaxing (see golfing) a polo shirt will serve you well. While there is never shame in wearing a fresh white Polo with a navy polo horse (we recommend having at least one that is kept dry cleaned so that it will always be looking its best), sometimes variety is nice. Being able to obtain that variation while at the same time supporting a worthy cause, well now you’ve got our attention.

Since we didn’t launch until last week, we haven’t had much time to talk about the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  One of the best ways we have found to show our support is with the Pink Pony Polo.  Ralph Lauren has taken its classic design and altered it slightly to support the fight against breast cancer. While a number of products are available for women with a Pink Pony printed on them, Polo offers men a simple way to display their support without having to wear a ribbon around. Available in either black or white, the Pink Pony Polo ($65.00), is a classy way to proudly display your support of the fairer sex and look good doing it.

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Pink Pony Program. Polo’s website offers this explanation of their efforts: “With a focus on breast cancer, Pink Pony supports programs for early diagnosis, education, treatment and research and is dedicated to bringing patient navigation and quality cancer care to medically under-served communities. Ten percent of proceeds from Pink Pony products benefits the Pink Pony Fund.”

When it comes down to it, the combination of a classic Polo and a good cause is a must have for the crew here at Bows & Boats.
