I used to buy my white t-shirts from Tailored Athlete because the fit was great but they don't have any stock which is crazy for such a basic. So I'm pleased to have discovered Tapered. Whilst these don't have the 5% elastane of my usual v-neck t-shirts the 100% cotton combined with the shaping make these a great, if not better, fit. They feel nice and soft too so actually feel more comfortable. I'll definitely be buying more and highly recommend them.
Washed the same as all other clothing, including another of the products but one (white) shrank massively and is now completely unwearable. The other (navy) is fine.
Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the shrinkage on the white shirt, especially since the navy one washed fine. That definitely shouldn’t have happened. Could you please email our support team so we can look into this for you and see what can be done to sort it out? I want to make sure you’re looked after properly.
Thanks,
Scott
Bought the XL size and very satisfied. Been lifting weights now for a few years so really appreciate the extra space the shirt offers around the chest and shoulders over and above a conventional shirt. Also like the way it tapers down at the waist to highlight the physique. Very happy customer and will be back for more purchases.
Hi Oisin,
Thanks for such a brilliant review. Really glad to hear the shirt gave you that extra room through the chest and shoulders while still keeping a sharp taper at the waist. Sounds like it complements your physique perfectly. Great to know you’re so happy with it and already planning to come back for more.
Thanks,
Scott
Good quality and fit. However as a shorter guy, I found the t shirt too long in the body. If it was 2 inches shorter in length, it would be perfect.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for leaving a review. Really glad to hear you were happy with the quality and fit overall. I appreciate the feedback about the length too - that’s really useful to know, especially for shorter builds. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when reviewing future sizing and design adjustments.
Thanks,
Scott
I like the white shirt. But why have you been out of all the other colors for so long?
Hi William,
Thanks for the review and for raising that. I’m really glad you like the white shirt. As for the other colours, some have been out of stock for a while due to high demand, but I do my best to keep bestsellers available as consistently as possible. A few new restocks and colour options are on the way soon.
Thanks,
Scott
The shirt fits tight but it feels comfortable, and the elastic touch allows for movement. Second time I buy on Tapered, and quite likely not the last.
Hi Antonio,
Thanks for the great review. Really glad to hear the fit and stretch are working well for you - that's exactly what I aim for. Appreciate you coming back for a second purchase and for the kind words.
Thanks,
Scott
Best fitted polo ever worn. Finally clothing that fits perfect around the shoulders without the bagging around the waist. Ever experienced the same, recommend to give it a try
Hi Rick,
Thanks for such a great review. Really glad to hear the polo fit perfectly and gave you that clean look through the waist while sitting right on the shoulders. Appreciate the recommendation too - that means a lot.
Thanks,
Scott
Based on the website, I ordered a large. It was like trying to put too much sausage in small sausage tube. I am only 175 pounds, but the shirt was way too small. I sent it back for the extra large. I sincerely hope that fits.
Hi William,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry the size didn’t work out on your first order - that’s never what I want for anyone. Did you try our size calaculator? I appreciate you giving it another try with the extra large, and I’m certain it’ll be a much better fit for you. If it still doesn’t feel right once it arrives, just let me know and I’ll help get it sorted.
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Hearing that it’s the best-fitting shirt you’ve ever worn genuinely means a lot. That’s exactly the kind of experience I want every customer to have, so I’m really glad it hit the mark for you. Appreciate you sharing that and the kind words.
Thanks,
Scott
Great shirt, fits really well. I only have one small issue and it's unrelated to the clothing quality: the product was ordered with an event in mind and Evri/Tapered claimed it could deliver by that date, which tbf was a stretch. It didn't arrive in time. Either the courier company or Tapered needs to be more realistic about delivery times (I ordered Mon eve believing it could arrive by Wed eve). Won't put me off ordering again, though.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the honest review - I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear you were happy with the fit and quality of the shirt, but I completely understand the frustration with the delivery delay. Your order was dispatched promptly on our end, as we always aim to meet the earliest delivery window. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get it in time for you event. Unfortunately, Evri can sometimes run behind on their estimated times, especially with tighter turnarounds. I know how disappointing that can be when you’ve got an event planned, but I really appreciate your understanding and that it hasn’t put you off ordering again.
Thanks,
Scott
What I like about these button down is they look great if you are in decent shape, especially the dart stitching at the lower back which allows the upper back and glutes to be displayed naturally without the need of a waist coat. The fabric has a nice stretch while being durable, so it is comfortable to wear during the fall and spring season. I ordered a couple to rotate them and am pleased with how I feel in them for semi-casual meet ups.
Hi James,
Thanks for such a thoughtful review - really appreciate the detail you shared. It’s great to hear how well the fit complements your shape, especially with the darting through the back. Glad to know they’ve become your new go-to.
Thanks,
Scott
Very satisfied with purchase. The shirt fits really well with that extra bit of broadness in the shoulders and chest which I need. The dress shirt looks very professional which is perfect for my work.
Hi Oisin,
Thanks for the great review. Really glad to hear the fit worked perfectly for you, especially through the shoulders and chest. Sounds like it gives you that sharp, professional look you were after for work. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Thanks,
Scott
Got my shirt last week and tried it on right away and I was so impressed. The quality is amazing and so is the fit. Well done tapered menswear
Hi Joe,
Thanks for such an amazing review — really glad to hear the shirt made a great first impression. It’s great knowing the fit and quality both hit the mark for you. Really appreciate you taking the time to share that and for the kind words.

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for such a great review — really glad to hear the t-shirt looks and fits just how you wanted. Always good when the delivery’s quick too. Appreciate the recommendation and the support!
Thanks,

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the great review — really glad to hear the polo’s working its magic! Sounds like the fit and shape are spot on, and it’s always nice when something gives that extra confidence boost. Appreciate you sharing that.
Thanks,
Scott
Excellent quality fabric. The T shirt is long enough as most T shirts are a little short. This one fits well.
Hi Neil,
Thanks for leaving a review — really glad to hear the quality stood out and that the length was just right for you. It’s something a lot of people mention, so I’m pleased this one fit the way it should. Appreciate you sharing your experience.
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the review — really glad to hear the shirt fit just right for you. Always good when it feels spot on straight away. Appreciate you taking the time to share that.
Thanks,
Scott
This was my first purchase from Tapered and the size guide nailed it. Very pleased with this purchase, it's hard to find clothes that fit so well, so I'll be back!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Really glad to hear your first purchase was a success and that the size guide got it spot on. It’s always great when something fits just right straight out of the box. Appreciate you sharing your experience — look forward to having you back again soon.
Thanks,
Scott
Very happy with my black tapered fit polo. My chest measurement is 44in so I went for the XXL size. Fits perfect. I'm relatively lean with decent enough muscle so it contributes to a lean slim look but accentuates the arms with the higher sleeves so very happy and will be making more purchases. Have already ordered the white dress shirt in XXL.
Hi Oisin,
Thanks for such a brilliant review. Really glad to hear the polo fit perfectly and gave you that lean, sharp look while still showing off the arms. Appreciate you already coming back for more too — hope the white dress shirt works out just as well for you.
Thanks,
Scott
I recently ordered 2 black XL T shirts which were a bit too large and Tapered immediately replaced them with L size which fit very well. Also slightly thicker material than most T shirts which will be perfect for Autumn. Very happy!
Hi Michael,
Thanks for leaving such a detailed review. Great to hear the exchange was quick and that the large size gave you the perfect fit. The slightly thicker fabric is ideal for the cooler months, so I’m glad you noticed that too. Really appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m happy you’re pleased with everything.
Thanks,
Scott
i like to wear long sleeves polos. this one is by far the best. the way its cut to give room for my lats and tapers down to my waist without bagging out like the others. my only complaint is i wish they had more colors. great buy!
Hi Rodney,
Thanks for such a great review — really glad to hear the long sleeve polo has become a new favorite for you. Sounds like the cut worked exactly as it should. I hear you on the colors too, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future additions. Appreciate you sharing your experience.
Thanks,
Scott
Initial dealings with your company was encouraging,
however recently one of my orders has not arrived and is stuck at customs. Ive been advised i have to sort this out myself.which I'm not prepared to do. Sadly will not be purchasing any further items.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the frustration with your order being stuck at customs. Unfortunately, once parcels are with customs it’s completely out of our control, though our team did make sure to respond to your emails and provide all the information we could. I completely understand how disappointing it feels to be left with that hassle, especially when your first experience with us started off positively. I’m sorry this has put you off ordering again, and in future hopefully if you do order with us it won't get held up at customs.
Thanks,
Scott
Often stuff bought from online platforms is crap. I was sceptical. But this company is actually very good. Great fabric quality.
Hi Neil,
Thanks so much for leaving a review. I know exactly what you mean about being sceptical when ordering online, it’s a gamble far too often. I’m really glad to hear the fabric quality won you over and that the experience was a positive one. It means a lot that you took the time to share that.
Thanks,
Scott
Paid £40 for one tshirt obviously having high expectations. The product did not meet these. I would avoid buying this as not worth the high cost.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for sharing your feedback — I’m sorry to hear the t-shirt didn’t meet your expectations. Could you let me know a bit more about what specifically let you down? If you’d like, please drop me an email so I can look into this for you and see if there’s a way to make things right.
Thanks,
Scott
