Monograms for the modern man

With monograms, as in other arenas, size absolutely matters—get those three letters stamped a little bit too large and you run the risk of being recruited by someone named Jocky to play on his Polo Team. However, go too far in the other direction and you’ll be treating an awesome tradition with the same sense of shame and chagrin applied to those lunch-box notes mom used to tuck in with your hot-pockets.

Our philosophy is bigger isn’t always better, (that’s what she said). A quarter inch is really all you need. But where is the proper place for a monogram, you ask?

Correct answer: Pocket or cuff.

Which means, monograms are the perfect contribution to your brand spanking new indiTailored custom dress shirt. It’s all about the details. Your initials and a flash of color will give your shirt a subtle pop, which will label you “Man of Mystery” faster than we can begin to hum the Bond theme (and that is pretty damn fast).

So, it’s time to take back the monogram! No longer the currency of the wealthy, the monogram is now the emblem of the proud, the confident, and the achingly well-dressed man. Your monogram literally speaks to who you are, and son, if that ain’t unique, we don’t know what is.
