Let’s talk polo fits. One of the most important things to men when it comes to wearing clothing is the fit. Men tend to buy the same brand because they know that it fits and they don’t have to try it on. The walk in a store, know what size fits them and buy it. No need to try on. When they want to try a new brand or something different, that’s tricky because every brand doesn’t fit the same.
I help my clients every day find what polo or pant size they should buy because I have learned how certain brands fit. Based on this, I can help them find the right size and less the amount of clothes they have to try on.
I want to help explain the fit difference between two popular brands (TravisMathew & Greyson Clothiers) I carry in my shop. They don’t fit at all alike. But don’t fret. It’s easy to figure out.
I measured polos in each size from TravisMathew and here is what the actual polo measures:
***I laid the polo flat. All buttons are buttoned. I measured at the chest. Straight across. Right below the armhole. Then doubled the number (for front and back). Watch video for help.
Small – 38.5 inches
Medium – 42 inches
Large – 44 inches
XLarge – 47 inches
I measured polos in each size from Greyson Clothiers and here is what the actual polo measures:
***I laid the polo flat. All buttons are buttoned. I measured at the chest. Straight across. Right below the armhole. Then doubled the number (for front and back). Watch video for help.
Small – 40 inches
Medium – 44 inches
Large – 46 inches
XLarge – 52 inches
When I compared the sizes and fits in each brand, the Greyson polos fit larger. What that means is if you wear a large polo in TravisMathew, and you want a similar fit in Greyson. Don’t buy a large in Greyson. You want to buy a medium size polo in Greyson to fit like a large in TravisMathew.
If you wear a size small polo in Greyson Clothiers and you want to buy a TravisMathew polo (and want a similar fit). Don’t buy a size small; you want to buy a size medium in TravisMathew because Greyson fits more generous than TravisMathew. You need to go up to a size medium in TravisMathew to fit more comfortably. The small would be too tight.
Keep in mind different fabrics may react differently. However, overall if you want a similar fit between the brands, follow these guidelines.
