English/Grammar question...

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

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."


In that case I would love to help. The correct answer is "long-sleeve polo". This is because I am considering "long-sleeve" to be an adjective. Removing the hyphen would indicate that the polo itself is long (and also has sleeves!).

Using "long-sleeved" (verb) means that at some point the polo got "long-sleeved" (maybe in the manufacturing process). You could justify this, but it's actually a bit weird.

it's either "long-sleeved polo" or "long sleeved polo"

im not even sure im right, but the lack of 'd' gives me a soft tilt.
