CARRY THE STANDARD — Polo | Ivory Monogram

The polo in ivory. The house monogram runs edge to edge across a warm cream ground — quiet from across a room, exact when you get closer.

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, so the pattern carries over the shoulder and around the placket instead of stopping at a rectangle. 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 trellis in half, and on a ground this pale you would see it from across the room.

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
