love the fit in chest waist and arms. I'm on the ropes about the neck fit. I feel a little restricted at the neck. I don't like the look of V necks, or I would buy them. I think a little more room in the next would be more comfortable. Overall, so far, I love your shirts. Time will tell if I think they are a good value...
I ordered both Medium and Small sizes because my waist is small but my shoulders and back are fairly larger, so something is bound to not fit when buying regular store sizes (either the shoulder are too tight or mid section too loose).
Here's my review :
1-The collar of the shirt is using a cheap material, I know this because the ribbing of the collar is made of a very loose/not dense knit. It looks cheap. It is constructed properly, but the choice of ribbing is not good. This shrunk a lot during washing because the knit was so loose. The neckline is now scrunched up around the rib because it shrunk.
2-Both the small and medium sizes are snug on the arm, however, the sew line on the traps (connecting the front and back of the t-shirt, the sew line from the neck to the shoulder) is messed up. On both sizes the this is too short. It doesn't sit on the correct place, it doesn't sit on the edge of the shoulder where the bone and meaty part meet. Instead it ends almost 1"/2CM before. Doesn't look great on a fit standpoint, that's some H&M quality issue.
3-The sew line on the shoulder (AGAIN, same sew line problem on both the small and medium) is not well constructed. Where it meets the arm fabric, instead of laying flat, it flares up, there's too much overlock thread. Also instead of connecting all the pieces (front of the t-shirt, back of the t-shirt and arm of the t-shirt) in a seamless way, it does a V inwards. You don't need to know all the technicality of sewing a t-shirt to see there's a lack of competency by the people manufacturing the produce.
4-The waist, on both medium and small; it's not tapered enough. It's tight in the back and chest, not so much the waist. And I mean I'm not THAT slim. To me this is barely an Athletic fit, it doesn't live up to what tapered means. So for sure I'm not buying this again just because it does not achieve what I want.
5-On a positive note; the actual fabric of the t-shirt is cut perpendicular to the knit direction; this is a good signe of quality and the t-shirt will not warp. But because of the bad shoulder/arm construction and the low quality ribbing at the neckline the t-shirt has a 0% chance to remain in my closet as a staple.
It's a basic product with a barely athletic fit, the arms ARE tight, but there's no remarkable taper in the mid-section the construction is not great. I believe this products need to be reimagined. Either you cater to true "V" backs or you don't. Tapered does not achieve good construction and fit. For this reason I do not think it's worth buying.
I just received my V Neck tapered shirt, and I am very happy with it.
The fit is perfect, and it is made of high-quality material as well.
I will definitely buy mote from Tapered
Having an 18" collar, 46" chest, but only a 36" waist I have always struggled to get shirts that fit. Selecting a shirt that fits my neck and chest results in having enough spare material around the waist to fit another person (even the slim fit ones). I have previously resorted to going to a tailors to get the shirt taken in around the waist. To get the full 5 stars I would have preferred to be able to select different combinations of sizes e.g. to be able to go up in collar size without making the sleeves longer. A double cuff option would be nice too.
Hi Leon,
I am so glad to hear that our White Tapered Fit Shirt was finally able to fit you perfectly! The problems you were facing before with slim fit shirts is exactly what we're trying to solve here at Tapered so I'm so happy that it's the shirt you've been looking for.
I understand how frustrating it can be to find a shirt that accommodates different measurements. I will definitely take your suggestions into consideration for future options.
Thank you for your kind words
Scott
Fits well
Hi Hayden,
I'm glad to hear that the White Short Sleeve Shirt fits well for you. Thank you for your feedback!
Scott
I’ve tried lots of polos over the years and the one I’ve just received is by far the best fit and seems good quality too. If it helps anyone, I’m 5ft 10in, 200lb, have a 46in chest and 36in waist. The XXL is just about perfect - snug but not too tight. You seem to have a good product at a good price - please don’t compromise on quality in the future as so many companies do over time.
Hi Guy,
I'm so glad to hear that our Polo Shirt is just what you were looking for! It's always great to hear positive feedback from our customers. Thank you for sharing your experience

Have tried every shirt shop you can name in every type of fit and nothing worked. Super slim CT was close and had to do but then it was discontinued. So happy to have found Tapered that actually fits properly and my back doesn't look like it has a flannel on it.

1)The fit of the shirt is GREAT.
2) I have Tees that don't need ironing, this one does need light ironing.
3) Because I'm international the shipment took 10 days. (no biggy just a heads up.)
4) I will most likely buy more tees. I hope you add more colors.
Hi Martin,
I'm glad to hear that the Navy T-Shirt fit is great for you! I'm sorry that the shirt requires light ironing, but I'm happy to hear that you'll still consider purchasing more.
Sorry to hear it took 10 days to receive, from time to time orders do get held up at customs which can cause delays. but appreciate your patience. More colours will be on their way soon!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review

Super tight in the chest for a mens line that promises a more fitted look. Bought it in the US and returns/exchanges require me to send it back overseas…on my dime.
Hi Chris, Really sorry to hear the shirt didn't fit as expected. Could you send us an email to our customer support email and I'll be able to assist with sizing and we can exchange for a more suitable size. We can arrange look into these return costs in order to get this sorted for you :) Thanks Scott

Hi Louise,
I am delighted to hear that the White Short Sleeve Tapered Fit Shirt was a perfect fit for your special day.
Thank you for your kind words and we look forward to serving you again in the future.
Thanks again
Scott
Placed the order mid February for an event the 28th. Delivery said it'd arrive in 5-7 days. You can probably guess at this point it did not.
Eventually got it a couple weeks later after reaching out to customer service (who was great and helpful). The event had come and gone but I still tried the pants with the white button up shirt.
The pants are honestly great. Fit and accent my legs and quads really well, and I'm not sure how but they make my butt pop out more too which I'm sure the moms will appreciate. Definitely going to order more when I have more reasons to dress up.
Hi Gerrit,
I'm glad to hear that you are pleased with the fit and style of our Chinos. But I'm so sorry to hear that you didnt get these in time for your event. I will look into why it took so long on this occasion.
From time to time orders do get held up at customs which is out of our control but we do try to include this in our overall shipping time estimate of 5-7 days. But I appreciate your kind words about our customer service team, and I'm happy to know that we were able to assist you in receiving your order.
Thank you for choosing Tapered
Scott
These tshirts are a god send for people with a good physique. The v taper and the sleeves accentuate your silhouette very well. The quality of the fabric is also very good. I only wish they came in shorter length, as the length may be a bit too long depending on your height.
Hi Amar
Thank you for your kind words about the fit and quality of our T-Shirt. It's music to my ears that it accentuates your v-taper as expected. I completely understand your wish for a shorter length option, and I will definitely take that into consideration for future products.
Thank you for your feedback and support!
Scott
