The embroidered initials on the shirt are a detail not to be underestimated. Position, color, font: everything you need to know to choose the perfect model.

Monogram placement

The style of the monogram is a matter of taste: usually the first initial of the first name is embroidered, followed by the first initial of the last name, followed by a period. The traditional position is on the left side of the shirt, between the fourth and fifth button (counting from the top), at a distance of 10 centimeters from the pleat. In the case of a sports shirt with a pocket, the initials will be placed below it.

Fonts

The font of the initials can be block or italic, uppercase or lowercase. The choice depends on the initials of the name: some letters are more legible in one style than in another. We at Viben recommend an uppercase italic embroidery, as it is more pleasing to the eye, but we also offer the option of classic block letters for a clearer effect on certain letters.

Colors

The choice of matching shades is essential. For an elegant, formal shirt, it is preferable to opt for less contrast. If the shirt is sporty, on the contrary, you can go for vibrant colors and give free rein to creativity to highlight the initials. However, dark blue is the most popular color, as it provides a pleasant contrast on light, dark, and striped shirts. On vibenfactorystore.it you have the possibility to choose from different types of colors and fonts to personalize your shirt.

Fabrics

Among the most common are Oxford, ideal for leisure, made from the interweaving of threads of different thicknesses; Twill, a fabric made with diagonal lines; Linen, typical of summer shirts; and Poplin, shiny and fresh cotton. In addition to classic fabrics, we make our shirts offering a wide selection to draw inspiration from.
