We surveyed over 3500 guys to ask them what their number one problem was with the fit of shirts on the market today. The most common answer….
Bagginess around the waist
Why is this so common? This is more common for those who have an athletic build due to wider shoulders and a narrow waist. The drop from chest to waist is a larger variance than what standard off the rack shirts provide.
In the same survey guys said that other types of shirts don’t solve this specific problem, whether its slim fit, tailored fit or muscle fit. The only way to truly solve the bagginess in the waist is to take your shirt to a tailor.
That’s why we have created our very own unique Tapered fit that is form fitting and cut for a v-shaped, athletic build.
Ending the frustration of a tent sitting around your waist everytime you try on a shirt.Over the last 5 years we have been meticulously working at our design. With the help of leading tailors to make sure the fit of our shirt solves the problem of shirts not sagging around the waist.
To do this our shirts have a unique cut to reduce the fabric in the midsection. We also enhance the darts in the back of the shirt just like you would pay a tailor to do.
We have designed our shirts with muscular guys in mind as this problem is more common for those who have wide shoulders. But our fit will also work for anyone who is broad on top and suffers from the dreaded “muffin top” in the torso.
Uniquely designed to enhance your V-shaped physique by moulding to your muscular structure whilst tapering in sharply at the waist for the perfect fit.
Exclusively designed with athletic shaped guys who have wide shoulders and a narrow waist, our signature Black Tapered Fit Polo Shirt is crafted from luxe stretch cotton that is super soft, breathable and allows complete freedom of movement.
Having extensively researched the ‘golden’ shoulder to waist ratio for the perfect V-tapered fit, our team of leading tailors and industry experts has pioneered the world’s first Tapered cut shirt.
Our revolutionary fit provides a 10” drop from waist to chest, eliminating bagginess around the waist whilst accentuating your muscular physique.
Welcome to the Tapered revolution; this is more than a muscle fit polo shirt. Long Sleeve Black Muscle Fit Polo
Also available in short sleeve.

Received a request to provide a review of my order satisfaction. Requested stated my order was fulfilled 19-days prior.
Here’s the hangup : I still haven’t received my order so it’s impossible for me to review the quality of the product when all I can offer is a lack of communication from Tapered on the status of my order shipment. I had to reach out to Tapered of my own volition to request a status update because there were no updates either emailed to me nor showing up in the shippers tracking link.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for bringing this to our attention. I take customer satisfaction very seriously and I want to ensure that you have a positive experience with us.
I had a check on tracking and it looks as though is due to be dispatched today. We did send an email with an update regarding the delay but I do apologise for how long it has taken to receive. We have followed up with DHL to try to understand why it has taken so long on this occasion.
If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. We appreciate your support and understanding.
Kind Regards
Scott
Fabric is thick and somewhat rigid, would definitely not recommend going too slim. Thankfully the cut is very flattering and the length is wearable both tucked and untucked. I fit well at size XXL. 6'!", 225lbs with ~34" waist and 46" chest. Collar doesn't feel cheap; it and the buttons are both tastefully sized. If you're muscular, get your measurements right and this shirt will not disappoint.
Nicely fitted accentuating shoulders, chest and upper arms, slim at the waist. Material is thick, quite warm and yet with some stretch. Product as described. Happy.
The tapered fit is great.
Beautiful shape and cut. Solid quality. Runs small: XXXL best for me at 6'3" 95kg. Love the overall length, which is unusual in a retail shirt.
