Since I already wear my heart on my sleeve, I might as well add a monogram.

Monogram placement is everything.

Hamilton Shirts has a story about a customer in the 30’s & 40’s who would put his monogram on the sleeve, outside the bicep. Apparently, he spent most of his time with his sleeves rolled, but still wanted the monogram.

A few years ago, one of the senior salesmen had a customer who wanted his monogram on the left collar point. The salesman refused to do it. He told him it would be ridiculous. The customer—still a customer, respected the salesman’s input, but found someone else to monogram his shirts.

To each his own.

I have to take these back to have them reduced by about ¼. It’s too large a font IMHO. That’s what I get for ordering over the web.
