Size Chart for Polos

Our polo shirts have a slightly different fit than our shirts. It is possible that our polo shirts will be a little bit looser than our NØLSON shirts, due to the fabric. We would suggest ordering our polo shirt one size smaller than your NØLSON shirt in most cases.

For example, do you have size 40 of our shirts? Then we would suggest size 39 of our polo shirts. Please find the size chart of our polo shirts below. You can measure yourself at home using the size chart we created.
