Polo fabric and collar construction

Fabric choice drives the hand feel, drape, durability, and workmanship of a custom polo. Pique and jersey knit structures are common starting points. Confirm the composition (cotton, polyester, or blends), weight, stretch direction, and shrinkage expectations with the manufacturer before sampling.

Collar construction affects how the polo stands and wears over time. Confirm the collar style (classic ribbed, flat knit, or self-fabric), placket, button placement, side vents, hem, and cuff details on the approved sample.

Fit, sizing, and customization

Provide the target fit (slim, regular, or relaxed), the size chart, grading requirements, and measurements. Confirm embroidery, printing, trims, and label placement during sample development so the approved sample becomes the working reference for production.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOQ for custom polo shirts?

Custom polo orders start from 100 pieces per style and colour. The workable quantity depends on the confirmed fabric, collar construction, trims, embroidery or printing, and size breakdown, so it is confirmed with the quotation.

How long does a polo sample take?

Sample development normally takes 7–14 days after the fabric, measurements, construction, and branding details are confirmed. Revisions or special fabrics can extend this.

Which fabrics do you use for custom polos?

Pique and jersey knits are the common starting points, in cotton, polyester, or blends. Fabric composition, weight (GSM), stretch direction, and shrinkage expectations are confirmed with the polo specification before sampling.

Can you match a polo to a reference garment?

Yes. Send the reference garment or clear images with the target fabric and measurements. The approved sample then becomes the working reference for bulk production.

Do you produce long-sleeve polos as well as short-sleeve?

Yes. Sleeve length is a pattern decision, so short-sleeve and long-sleeve polos can both be developed from the same brief once the size chart and intended fit are defined.

Are embroidery and printing available?

Embroidery, screen printing, and other decoration methods are reviewed during sample development, because feasibility depends on the fabric, placement, artwork, and order quantity. Labels and hangtags are quoted separately.
