Custom polo shirt manufacturer for your private label brand

A polo shirt is a collared, typically short-sleeved top originally rooted in sport but now a staple across casual and professional wardrobes for men, women, and kids. THE/STUDIO is your custom polo shirt manufacturer with a production team built in - from brief to tech pack to final delivery, our platform connects your brand with vetted factories worldwide so you can develop private label and white label polo shirts without building an in-house team.

From cotton polo shirts to your most elaborate vision

A clean cotton polo shirt in a single colourway is straightforward production - solid fabric, minimal finishing. The stronger brief is a fully developed custom polo with embroidery across chest, collar, and cuff, layered with tonal thread detail that elevates the entire piece. For our factory partners, the elaborate end is the norm, not the exception.
