You might try LLBean or Land's End. Sears carries LE brand.
Banana Republic makes a pretty darn good polo, but can be a little more dinero. I have one of their polos from about 8 years ago (size L, not overly long, either) and it's still in great shape and has kept its color. Come to think of it, the few items I've bought from them ALWAYS outlast just about everything else in my closet. To the point of I'm giving it away not because it's worn out but out of style. In their case, a little more cost is probably well worth it.
Target makes a polo (Merona brand IIRC) that is fairly decent and inexpensive. Also not too long in L, so that makes me think the XL may be a fit for you. The collars aren't my favorite, though. They are a little wide-ish and flimsy. I bought mine 2 or 3 years ago, though, so they are likely different now.
EDIT: i wouldn't mind hearing back from you on where you land with this.
