Why it costs what it costs

A printed polo takes a finished blank and puts a logo on the chest. This one is printed as flat panels and then cut and sewn, creating an all-over pattern. Pattern placement may vary at seams, the collar and the placket. It is made after you order it, so nothing here is priced to cover unsold stock.

A fold line down the front would cut the pattern in half, and on a ground this pale you would see the crease before you saw the pattern.

Quarter-turned, there is no centre crease to cut — the pattern stays whole across the front. That is the difference between a shirt with a pattern on it and a pattern made into a shirt.

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” — Joshua 1:9, King James Version
