Can a polo shirt be altered by a tailor or something like that?

Better to just have one made for you.

I would believe so, but what's to be tailored? I'm sure he/she can trim the silhouette if that's what you want.

I've seen several small men's stores offering "semi-custom" polo shirts, but with so many brands offering unique silhouettes, I don't think you can justify the cost.

If I have a polo made from Zegna fabric, can I tell people I own a "custom Zegna polo shirt?" Thanks.

If you're looking for a looser fit, it will stretch out over time.

Just kidding. If you want a slimmer fit, you should just get one of the Polo Custom Fit polos which are slimmer than the regular production ones.

I think by design they are for that untailored look. I just buy off the rack.

I think Kent Wang will do a custom polo for $20 more than his regular prices.
