Monogram Placement Guide

Garments

Coat Lining: Embroider on the right side at the waist level, 3” from the seam. Monograms should be 1” to 1.25” tall.

Collar: Embroider on the left side, above buttonhole if present. Monograms should be 3/8” tall.

Golf/Polo Shirt: 7.5” to 9” below the shoulders left seam and 4” to 6” from center. Depending on the design, you can also look for a line down from where the collar meets the shoulder seam, and look over from the 2nd buttonhole.

Long Sleeve Shirt: Top and center of wrist, which is about 1” to 1.25” from the center toward the buttonhole. The bottom of the monogram should sit very near the top stitching of the cuff. Monograms should be 3/8” tall.

Robe: Draw a line straight down from the shoulder seam 4” to 6” for women and 7” to 10” for men. Find the center of the armholes from the armpit to the shoulder, and draw line straight across toward the center of the robe or go across 3” to 5” from the center.

Shirt Placket: Center the design between 2nd and 3rd buttonholes. The design should be 1/4” to 3/8” inch tall.

Shirt with no pocket: Draw a line straight down from where the shoulder seam meets the collar seam. Find the center of the armholes from the armpit to the shoulder, and draw line straight across toward the center of the shirt. The center of the design is marked where the lines intersect. If the armholes are deep, the line can be made too low on a woman’s shirt, so keep that in mind.

Shirt with pocket: Center the design on the pocket hem, with the top of the design 1/4” below the top of the pocket. Monograms should be 1/4 to 3/8” tall. If pocket has button in center, shift design to the right.

Shorts Leg: Halfway between center-front and side seam. The bottom of the design should be 1/4” to 1/2” above the hem stitching at the leg hole.

Short Sleeve Shirt: Center design 1/4” to 1/2” above the hem on the sleeve. Monograms should be 1/4” to 3/8” tall.
