FAQs

What is the fit of this polo shirt?

The Barbour Tartan Pique Polo Shirt features a tailored slim fit. It is designed to be closer fitting than a regular fit but not as tight as an ultra-slim fit. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, consider sizing up.

What material is the shirt made of?

The shirt is made from 100% cotton pique, a breathable fabric known for its texture and comfort.

How do I clean the polo shirt?

It is recommended to machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang to air dry. Cool iron if needed.

What does 'pique' fabric mean?

Pique is a type of knitted fabric with a textured, often raised pattern, typically resembling a honeycomb or waffle weave. It is known for its breathability and durability.

What is the significance of the tartan trim?

The tartan trim is a signature design element of Barbour, adding a classic British heritage touch to the garment, specifically featured on the two-button placket in this model.

Can this polo be worn for business casual occasions?

Yes, due to its quality cotton fabric, tailored fit, and subtle tartan detailing, it can be styled for smart-casual environments, especially when paired with appropriate trousers and footwear.

What are the key differences between this and a standard polo shirt?

Key differences include the Barbour branding, the distinctive tartan trim on the placket, and the tailored slim fit, offering a more refined and contemporary silhouette compared to standard, often looser-fit, polo shirts.

Troubleshooting

Shirt loses shape after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (cold wash, gentle cycle) and avoid excessive heat when drying. Reshape the garment while damp.

Tartan trim appears faded

Wash the garment inside out to protect the trim. Avoid direct sunlight when drying for extended periods.

Pilling on the cotton fabric

Pilling can occur with natural fibers. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can minimize this. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
