I'm adding products to our web site this afternoon, and became perplexed while trying to give a certain product a model name. So, out of these 4 choices, which is correct (or most correct)??
long-sleeve polo long-sleeved polo
long sleeve polo long sleeved polo
I've come to a consensus as to what I think is right, but would like to hear some responses from OTers...please give a reason why, if possible. RE-EDIT...added the 2 choices with no hyphen

im gonna go with A, if u put the -ed on the end it makes it sound past tense, and I think the hypen just looks correct
|

I think it's 'long-sleeve polo'. There's definitely a hyphen, so it's one of the first two. Both seem right.

I think we can all agree on that...I'm going to remove the other 2 options.

who's your audience? Ralph Lauren uses "long-sleeved polo" (seems the most proper/correct of the 4) Nordstrom uses "long sleeve polo", and this is how it comes in the autocomplete on google Target uses "long-sleeve polo" (along with "long sleeved polo", the least correct of the 4) if using "sleeved", i believe you need the hyphenation, as the term long-sleeved is descriptive of the polo; whereas with "long sleeve", long is descriptive of the sleeve i think either "long-sleeved polo" or "long sleeve polo" would be fine, though i would go with "long-sleeved"

C - long sleeve polo
just google this one dude...

almost positive it's 'long sleeve' or more likely, any of the 4 is acceptable

I should also add that there is not really any precedent set on our website. There are multiple entries for long-sleeve(d) shirts on the web site, but half of them have a hyphen; other half don't. Basically--it doesn't really matter, but I thought it was an interesting question.

i did...plenty of answers on all sides. the better answers i've read all include a hyphen, however.

This is what I deemed to be the most correct out of all 4. It just sounds really weird to me.
Mashed potatoes, but ice tea? Why not iced tea?
Brits are welcome to check in on this one, too. I have a feeling their answers would include the "d."

it should be "iced tea" though "ice tea" has become common usage
