FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for formal events?
It is ideal for smart-casual events, such as dinners or creative office environments, but may not be appropriate for strictly black-tie or highly formal occasions.
Does the zip closure stay in place during movement?
The zipper is designed to be sturdy, but if you find it slipping, ensure it is pushed completely to the top or bottom of its track to engage the locking mechanism.
Can I bleach this black polo?
No, do not use bleach as it will damage the fabric fibers and cause permanent discoloration to the black dye and the contrast tipping.
What is the best way to remove wrinkles?
A handheld garment steamer is the safest and most effective way to remove wrinkles without stressing the cotton fabric.
How should I store the shirt long-term?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black color from fading over time.
Troubleshooting
The zip mechanism feels stiff or sticks.
Apply a tiny amount of candle wax or graphite from a pencil tip to the zipper teeth to lubricate the mechanism.
The shirt appears slightly smaller after washing.
Cotton fibers can contract when exposed to heat. Gently stretch the garment width-wise while slightly damp and allow it to air dry flat to regain its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your PS Paul Smith polo maintains its shape and color, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Always turn the garment inside out before placing it in the wash to protect the contrast tipping details. Use a gentle, cold water cycle with like colors.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures, as this is the leading cause of shrinkage in cotton garments. Lay the polo flat on a drying rack to air dry, reshaping it while damp.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary. Avoid direct heat on the zipper and tipping details.
- Storage: Fold the shirt rather than hanging it for extended periods, as heavy hangers can stretch the cotton fabric at the shoulders.
