Design a Polo Shirt

Polo shirts are usually made of knitted cotton instead of woven cloth, usually a piqué knit, or less commonly an interlock knit or using other fibers such as silk, merino wool, synthetic fibers, or blends of natural and synthetic fibers. A dress-length version of the shirt is called a polo dress

To design a shirt you will need to consider the following factors :

1) fabric weight  – is measured in “grams per square meter”
210gsm Jersey (heavy weight)

2) knit or woven fabric – Jersey is a knit used mostly in clothing manufacture.
The fabric can be very stretchy, usually light weight and mostly used to make T-shirts.
Jersey Knit can also be a double knitted jersey (interlock jersey).

Jersey fabrics can fall into the following categories.

a) Single jersey
b) Double jersey
c) Interlock jersey
d) Jacquard jersey
e) Clocqué jersey
f) Stretch jersey

3) shirt style –  Neckline, Long sleeve,..etc

The standard Polo shirt extends to the waistline,

4) size range – mens, womens and kids
mens sizes usually run : XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, 4XL, 5XL
womens sizes usually run : size 6, size 8, size 10, size 12, size 14, size 16, size 18, size 20, size 22.
Kids sizes usually run  size 2, size 4, size 6, size 8, size 10, size 12, size 14, size 16

5) measurement specifications – when you design a shirt the shirt measurements are critical.

The size measurements cover all areas of the garment such as the body width, body length, neck line, neck to shoulder, under arm and sleeve opening. The most common measurements when you design a shirt, is the half chest measurements.

The “half chest” is the  measurement across the chest of a shirt (armpit to armpit) when laying flat on a table.

6) intended market – sports wear, semi formal, corporate wear and work wear etc

Personalised Polo shirts

Personalised  Polo shirts became popular in sporting and team events in the 1960s. Since then personalised Polo shirts are now common in corporate and small business use were personal names are placed on the front or back of the t –shirt.

Personalised Polo shirts may involve the use of a personal image or names placed on the front
or back of the shirt.  With the advent of “Digital printing” in the 1990s personalised t-shirts have become even more popular.
