The "measurements profile" together with your body measurements allow us to make your perfect-fit polo shirt.

Taking measurements is a simple operation which you will only need to do once. The easiest method is to get somebody to help you, if possible with a soft tailor's tape measure (available from most supermarkets).

How To Take The Neck Measurement

The neck measurement is carried out by measuring your neck circumference with a measuring tape. The polo shirt collar will be made using this exact measurement.

It is important to place your index finger between the tape measure and your neck to provide the desired fitting, or the degree of comfort or tightness preferred.

How To Take The Neck Measurement

  • Place the unbuttoned shirt on a flat surface with the button side up
  • Do not take the measurement from edge to edge
  • Place the start of the measuring tape at the stitching at the back of the collar button
  • Extend the tape across the collar
  • Take the measurement reading at middle of the buttonhole

If you know the collar size of one of your pre-existing shirts, you can use this measurement. It corresponds to the shirt size itself and is expressed either in centimeters (example:40) or inches (example:17).
