Ready for take-off WBM Draper Polo

Reviewed by sewingalacarte on 8th January, 2021

This Draper Polo has two front buttons at the placket a conventional polo collar and side vents. You can also add a breast pocket choose between two short sleeve lengths or long sleeves. and optional front pocket. Medium weight jersey fabric with stretch is the perfect choice for this polo.

Both fabrics have a good stretch as well as fabric weight (220grams/m2). The construction of the placket was new to me but all went well due to the well written instructions and illustrations. You like to watch instruction video’s. Christine made also made the How to stitch the Draper Polo shirt video.

My husband is wearing size XL based on the measurements charts. XL is designed for body height 1.80m. Although husband is 1.92m he prefers his shirts not too long so I didn’t altered the length of the shirt. The proof of the pudding is in the eating but the fit was perfect. Husband is very pleased with his new polo shirt. Details like the side slits, the placket construction and the polo collar gives this Draper Polo an almost RTW outcome.
