Long sleeve polos (instead of rugby) for fall, for work?

Is it still NB / trad or too casual?

I have some decent ones from Orvis, that I wear anywhere I would otherwise wear a rugby or even a OCBD.

But they're unusually heavy weight, so they're more like solid-color rugbys than what people usually think of when they say "polo shirt."

I maintain my conviction that every single person on the planet looks better in an OCBD than in a polo, but sometimes having more give is comfortable.

The ones I have are basically this, but before they added whatever, "innovative performance tech" is. https://www.orvis.com/product/orvis-signature-long-sleeve-polo/3CS8.html

You have a very valid point - OCBD ups the game more than a long sleeve polo shirt.

BB has some on sale and clearance and I’m wondering if I should get one or two.

I do short sleeve polo shirts in the summer along with poplin & broadcloth because I run hot. OCBDs are too heavy for me in the summer , but I’d like to mix it up a little in the fall.
