Johnnie-Oin DFW
Relaxed American sportswear, carried in Arlington and fitted in person.
Johnnie-O at The Man’s Shop in Arlington. Relaxed American sportswear — polos, quarter-zips, knits and casual shirts cut for men who want something better than a t-shirt without putting on a jacket. We are in downtown Arlington and serve the whole metroplex.
What matters
Worth knowing
- What it is
- Relaxed American sportswear. Polos, quarter-zips, casual shirts and knits.
- Where it fits
- The gap between a t-shirt and a sport coat, which is most of a Texas year.
- Cut
- Built with ease through the body. Between sizes, the smaller one almost always reads better.
- Under a jacket
- The finer knits and polos work under a sport coat. The heavier pieces do not.
- Care
- Wash cool and hang dry. Heat is what kills a cotton polo, not wear.
- Who it suits
- Men who have stopped wearing t-shirts in public but do not want a jacket every day.
- Building on it
- Two polos and a quarter-zip in the base colors will outwork six pieces bought separately.
- What to avoid
- Buying the loudest print on the rail. It is the piece that gets worn twice.

Common questions
Sportswear, answered
What is Johnnie-O known for?
Relaxed American sportswear — polos, quarter-zips and casual shirts. It sits in the space between a t-shirt and tailored clothing, which in this climate covers a great deal of the year.
How does the sizing run?
Roomier than tailored clothing. If you are between sizes, size down rather than up — the cut already has ease built in, and the extra size usually reads as sloppy rather than comfortable.
Can I wear it under a sport coat?
The finer knits and polos, yes. The heavier pieces add too much bulk through the shoulder and chest, which spoils the line of the jacket.
Where can I buy Johnnie-O in Dallas–Fort Worth?
At the shop in downtown Arlington, about twenty miles from Dallas and fifteen from Fort Worth. Worth trying on, since the cut has ease built in and most men take a size smaller than they expect.
