Compare The Jawn and The C'ville performance polos on fabric, fit, and purpose. See which Philadelphia or Charlottesville themed polo fits your golf game and wardrobe.
Quick answer
Choose The Jawn if you want a wrinkle-free, UPF-protected polo that moves from the course to town without a change. Choose The C'ville if you prefer a lighter-feeling, quick-drying polo and want 20% of your purchase to support the Paramount Theater.
Fabric technology and what it means on the move
Both polos use breathable, moisture-wicking fabric with four-way stretch, so neither will restrict your swing. The Jawn adds UPF sun protection and wrinkle-free material, which matters if you play midday or head straight to lunch after the round. The C'ville emphasizes quick-drying performance, making it a practical pick for humid mornings or back-to-back activities.
The C'ville also carries a charitable angle: Rhoback donates 20% of all sales of The C'ville to the Paramount Theater. That doesn't change the fit, but it does change the value if supporting Charlottesville's arts scene matters to you.
Fit and sizing: same sharp comfort fit, different feel
Both polos are designed with Rhoback's sharp comfort fit, a cut that sits close without being restrictive. The Jawn's crisp collar holds its shape, which helps when you want a polished look off the course. The C'ville uses the same fit language, so if you know your Rhoback size, you can order either with confidence.

Price and value trade-off
At catalog prices, The Jawn is USD 71.54 (compared to USD 98.00), while The C'ville is USD 64.05 (compared to USD 105.00). The C'ville costs less upfront and includes the charitable donation, while The Jawn adds UPF protection and wrinkle resistance. Neither is objectively better; the right choice depends on whether sun protection or charitable giving matters more to you.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Sun protection vs quick-dry performance: The Jawn includes UPF sun protection; The C'ville prioritizes quick-drying fabric. If you play long rounds in direct sun, The Jawn reduces exposure. If you sweat heavily or play in humid conditions, The C'ville dries faster. Match the fabric feature to your typical playing conditions.
- Wrinkle resistance vs charitable giving: The Jawn's wrinkle-free material keeps you looking sharp without ironing. The C'ville donates 20% of sales to the Paramount Theater. You are trading a personal convenience for a community contribution. Decide which benefit you will actually notice and value.
- Upfront price vs long-term wear: The C'ville is priced lower at USD 64.05 versus USD 71.54 for The Jawn. Both offer four-way stretch and moisture-wicking, so the price gap reflects the added UPF and wrinkle-free features of The Jawn, not a difference in core performance. If budget is tight, The C'ville covers the essentials; if you want extra sun protection, The Jawn justifies the difference.
