He put it on before the first round and came home happy

I surprised my husband with this polo before a round of golf. He said it fit better than anything he owned in that category, and his playing partner apparently asked where it came from. A good day all round.

Renée Y.
The collar ribbing stretched slightly more than expected

The ribbed collar stretched a little during attachment and I had to ease it back slightly before topstitching. The instructions mentioned this possibility and suggested pinning in quarters, which I hadn't done carefully enough the first time.

A
Anella B.
Better fit and finish than most shop polos

Shop polo shirts are often too boxy across the chest or too short in the body for my husband's build. This one, made to his measurements, fits properly in all the places that bought shirts usually don't.

Lynn
Finally a polo that fits shoulders properly

I made a size 40 for my husband using cotton pique, and the shoulder fit turned out much better than ready-made polos. The instructions around the placket helped me get a clean finish without guessing. He�s worn it several times already, which is always a good sign.

L
Louella Y.
First successful polo placket I've ever sewn

I'd attempted polo plackets from other patterns and always found them confusing. The instructions here were the clearest I've encountered and the placket on my finished shirt lies flat and opens smoothly. A real skill milestone.
