Size Guide: Custom Hawaiian Shirts & Polos

Our custom Hawaiian shirts come in a unisex cut from XS to 5XL (chest width 46.5–82.5 cm) and kids 2–12; polos in unisex XS–5XL, a women's cut WXS–W5XL and kids 2–12. All measurements are taken off the garment laid flat, in centimetres.

Between two sizes? Go up one. Nobody tries on before a team order, so a bit of spare room is the safe bet — or ask for a size sample when you enquire.

XS 63.5 46.5
S 66.5 50.3
M 70.1 54.6

How to measure: spread your best-fitting shirt out flat. Length runs from the shoulder point beside the collar to the bottom edge; chest width goes underarm to underarm, buttons done up. No shirt handy? Run a tape round your chest at its widest, add 10–15 cm and halve it — that's the chest width to look for. Questions? Email support@thehulahut.com.au and we'll sort you out.

Kids Hawaiian Shirt

Between two ages? Go the bigger one — kids shoot up fast and they'll get more wear out of it. Sizes go by age, 2 to 12.

Unisex / Men

Standard polo cut

Hangs straight, no waist shaping, regular polo length — a touch narrower across the chest than our Hawaiian shirts. XS through to 5XL, plus kids 2 to 12.

Women

Shorter, more shaped

Sits closer to the body — shorter, and nipped in a touch at the waist. WXS through to W5XL.

Ordering women's polos?

They're a different cut, not just shorter: roughly 7.5–13 cm less length than the matching unisex size and, from S upwards, about 1–2.5 cm less across the chest. Kitting out a mixed group and not certain? Stick with unisex.

How to measure a polo: 1 is length, 2 is chest width

How to measure

Easiest way: lay your best-fitting polo out flat and measure it like we do.

  • 1

    Length — shoulder point beside the collar to the bottom edge.

  • 2

    Chest width — smooth out any creases, then go underarm to underarm.

No polo handy? Run a tape round your chest at its widest, add 10–15 cm and halve it — that's the chest width to look for.
