Measure a polo that fits you well

Size labels vary by garment and maker. Start with a polo you already enjoy wearing and measure it consistently. Garment measurements and body measurements are different; check which type a future size chart provides before comparing numbers.

Work through it

1. Lay the polo flat without stretching it. Measure chest width across the garment, then body length from the stated shoulder point and sleeve length using a consistent method.
2. Write down the method and units alongside the measurements. Note whether the reference garment is relaxed, fitted or intentionally oversized.
3. Compare with the published chart for the exact garment when one is available. Ask for clarification if the chart does not explain its measurement method.

Check your result

• Units and measurement method are recorded.
• The reference garment has the desired fit.
• The exact product chart is used.
