Are Collars & Co Polos overpriced/overrated?

I recently ordered 2 polos from them in the original fit. Got a white and a navy one. Basically as classic as you can get. At 90 bucks each, my expectations were VERY high. What I will say is that they're different with that stiff collar and they do look nice with a blazer/jacket. What I did not anticipate though was them being a HUNDRED percent polyester. They also can't be ironed. They also can't be tumble dried. They're also made in China. I really expected a higher quality fabric (or at least a blend) and I expected they be made in the US, or at least for slightly more than 10 cents in a Chinese sweatshop. Aside from the stiff collar, I don't see what they're bringing to the table that a Ralph Lauren, CK, or other name brand polo isn't and at a third the price (or even less if you're shopping online or at an outlet store). Is it really JUST that stiff collar? Am I missing something?
