WASHCLOTHS- 1 ½” above the hem or 1” above the border.

HAND TOWELS- 2” above hem or 1 ½” above border.

BATH TOWELS- 4” above hem or 2” above border.

BATH SHEETS- 4” above hem or 3” above border.

SHEETS- The bottom of the monogram should be centered about 2” above the wide hem line on the top side of the sheet.

SHIRT CUFFS- To place the monogram in the top center of the wrist, start 1” from the center of the cuff toward the buttonhole and ¼” to ½” above the cuff edge. The bottom of the letters should fall at the bottom of the cuff.

TIES- Place 2” to 1 ½” up from the bottom tip of 9” to 11” up from the bottom tip when worn with a vest.
