How to Tell If Your Polo Shirts Fit | Polo Shirt Fit Guide

About this video

McGoff teaches men how polo shirts should fit, breaking down three key measurements: length (ending at mid-fly when untucked), width (pinching 2-3 inches of excess fabric on the sides), and sleeves (ending halfway between shoulder and elbow with minimal excess fabric). He then addresses the challenge shorter men face finding well-fitting polos and recommends two solutions: getting shirts tailored by a local tailor or shopping at specialty brands like Peter Manning and Sharp Casualwear that design specifically for men under 5'8".

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that untucked polo shirts should end at mid-fly, not extend to the bottom of the fly or past the waistband
• McGoff recommends the torso width should allow you to pinch about 2-3 inches of excess fabric on each side for a fitted but not tight look
• McGoff suggests sleeves should end halfway between shoulder and elbow and hug the arm rather than tent outward
• McGoff recommends shorter men either get polos tailored at a local tailor or shop at specialty brands like Peter Manning and Sharp Casualwear that scale designs for men under 5'8"
