About Polo Shirts

Polo shirts are also called "polos" or tennis shirts and they became so popular on golf courses, people started calling them golf shirts. Although the words "polo shirts" and "golf shirts" are used interchangeably, the term "polo shirts" is more popular. In the sport of polo, polo shirts are called polo jerseys. Because polo shirts are more casual than button down shirt and dressier than a t shirt, many employers utilize polo shirts as part of a business casual uniform. Embroidered polo shirts with a company logo given as gifts or giveaways are called promotional polo shirts. 

In apparel terms, “tape” is a narrow, woven strip of fabric. Better quality polo shirts have a “fully taped neck” which means tape is sewn on the inside of the neck, covering the seam between the collar and the body. This helps to retain the structure of the shirt, and makes it more comfortable in addition to absorbing some perspiration.  Tape is also sewn along the inner side vents to help keep the shirt tucked in.

Some polo shirts are “body knit,” which means that the body is knitted as a tube, and does not have side seams. As a rule, polo shirts with side seams have a more fitted shape.

Side vents are slits at the bottom of the side seams and are either taped along the hem or double-needled stitched. They are a fashion detail that aids the ease of movement and when taped on the outside of the shirt at the top of the vent, they help keep it tucked in. some polo shirts, also have what is called an Extended Tail (the back is longer than the front)  to help keep the shirt tucked in.

A collar that is constructed from the same material as the body of the shirt is called a Self-fabric Collar.
