How to Measure for Your Perfect Polo

1. Chest Measurement

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. The tape should be snug but not tight, allowing for natural breathing.

Pro Tip: For knitted polos like our Milano Textured Zipper Polo, add 2 inches for optimal comfort.

2. Length Measurement

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder (where it meets the neck) straight down to your desired hem length. Our polos typically fall at hip level.

Style Note: The Heritage Bloom Crewneck features an extended length for modern styling.

3. Sleeve Measurement

Start at the shoulder seam and measure down to where you want the sleeve to end. Our short sleeves typically hit mid-bicep for a flattering look.

Fit Tip: Browse our luxury t-shirts for varied sleeve options.

4. Shoulder Measurement

Measure across your back from one shoulder point to the other. This ensures the polo sits correctly without pulling or bunching.

Perfect For: Ensuring pieces like the Johnny Collar Textured Knit Polo fit impeccably.
