FAQs

What material is this polo shirt made from?

The shell of the polo shirt is made from 100% cotton. The collar and cuffs have ribbed borders containing a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane for structure and fit.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shirt features a 'Regular Fit'. Refer to the product sizing chart for detailed measurements to select the best size for your body type. It's designed to be comfortable without being too loose.

Can I machine dry this polo shirt?

No, it is strongly recommended not to tumble dry this polo shirt. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric. Lay it flat or hang it to air dry.

What does 'Pique' cotton mean?

Pique cotton is a type of knit fabric construction characterized by its textured, waffle-like pattern. It's known for being breathable, durable, and having a slightly more structured feel than jersey knit.

What is the significance of the striped collar?

The striped collar is a design detail that adds a subtle visual element to the classic polo shirt, offering a modern twist on a timeless style. It features a ribbed border with a striped pattern.

Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?

This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual and casual occasions. While it's a step up from a t-shirt, it is generally not considered formal wear.

How do I wash the different material components (collar/cuffs vs. shell)?

The care instructions provided are for the garment as a whole. Washing according to the label (machine wash cold, do not tumble dry) is designed to accommodate all materials used in its construction.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water (30°C) and have avoided high heat in the washing or drying process. Lay flat or hang to dry instead of using a tumble dryer.

Collar is misshapen or creased.

Gently reshape the collar while damp and lay flat to dry. If needed, iron on a low setting, ensuring the collar is flat.

Color has faded significantly.

Wash the garment inside out with similar colors in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Stitching is coming loose.

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. For more significant issues, consult a tailor or consider a return/exchange if within the warranty period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

This polo shirt is designed for easy care but requires attention to maintain its quality:

  1. Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
