About Original Penguin
The little penguin logo has been a golf-and-prep staple since the 1950s, and the modern e-commerce site leans into that heritage with polos, sweaters, and golf-adjacent sportswear. Returns run a standard 30 days, but the mail-in option costs $6 out of your refund for the prepaid label, a detail plenty of shoppers miss until their refund comes up short. In-store returns dodge that fee entirely and even come with a small same-day discount as a nudge to shop while you're there.
Final sale items are excluded no matter how you return, and price adjustments are available if something you bought drops in price within 14 days. Preppy dressers and golf-casual shoppers make up the core customer base.
What they sell
- Polo shirts and knitwear
- Golf apparel
