Monogram on the left side bottom hem (an option on their site) might not be bad, that's about where I get my dress shirt monograms.

Plenty of position options for the embroidery (or you can choose not to have embroidery) but it certainly doesn't look tacky at all. Material is excellent quality, soft, comfortable. I would compare it well with any other higher-end polo on the market.

I think his pics are just bad. Pictures can make or break things and clothing is hard to judge without the use of a prof. camera.

Wraith, how would you compare the fabric to a Lacoste polo? And it took around 3 weeks to recieve the order correct?

You can't really judge the shape and style too much from the pictures since those are up to you. I might not be a huge fan of his stylistic choices and the cut of the polo might not look like it would fit me but the beauty of MTM is that it probably fits him pretty well (or will after figuring out the right measurments).

As long as the fabric and workmanship are good, the rest is up to you

Yep, well said, otc. It does fit me very well indeed, measurements were spot on.

Yes, it took around 3 weeks to arrive. It was nicely presented in its package, as was the dress shirt I also ordered from them. The fabric isn't as think as Lacoste, I agree, but it's soft, comfy, fits well (as it's MTM) and there are plenty of colour/style options to choose from.

Cost is dependent on the options you take up (eg. button type, monogramming etc.) and (presumably) where you ship. I live in Australia, the polo pique shirt cost me $US43.10 + $US9.00 postage.

Thanks anon.

Ordered mine two weeks ago, but it hasn't started production yet. Will try to post photos when I get it.

they sent mine out a few days ago. I'll post pics when I receive.
Only option I got was contrasting stitching on buttons. Total = $26 (shirt) + $9 (shipping to US) = $35.

That seems pretty cheap...I can see myself ordering in the future as I tend to have bad luck with polos after a few washes (I'm 6'2 and they get too short)

You throwing them in the dryer?

Also 6'2" but I hang dry my clothes or use one of those folding racks for things that will stretch out of shape.
