The new initiative is centered around sustainability as the clothing manufacturer saves material and reduces textile waste by making only as many shirts as are required to fulfill [custom orders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madetoorder-dresses). The Made-to-order Polo program offers Ralph Lauren polo shirts in six signature styles. The shirts can be decorated with personalized text, preset monograms, and Ralph Lauren logos that have multiple placement options. The clothing's color can also be arranged in both a monochrome pattern or a custom combination. The polos use the clothing brand's flat-knit technology for a stylish exterior look and a super soft skin-side sensation. The Made-to-order Polo program runs both online and in Ralph Lauren stores.
