FAQs
What is the main difference between 'Custom Fit' and 'Classic Fit' from Polo Ralph Lauren?
The 'Custom Fit' is a silhouette that is more fitted at the waist compared to the 'Classic Fit,' offering a more streamlined and modern appearance. The 'Classic Fit' provides a more relaxed and traditional silhouette.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Polo Ralph Lauren size chart provided. Key measurements to check include chest circumference, waist, and shoulder width. Note that sleeve length is measured from the middle of the neck.
Can this shirt be worn for formal occasions?
While primarily designed for casual and business-casual wear, the black color and classic details allow it to be dressed up for semi-formal events when paired with dress trousers and a blazer.
What does 'poplin fabric' mean?
Poplin is a closely woven fabric, typically made from cotton, known for its smooth, crisp finish and slight sheen. This version is blended with elastane for added stretch and comfort.
How should I iron this shirt?
Iron the shirt on a medium heat setting. It is recommended to iron while the fabric is still slightly damp or use a steam iron for best results. Ensure the collar and cuffs are ironed flat.
What is the sleeve length calculation?
The sleeve length is calculated from the center of the neck. For size M, it is 88.9cm. The length varies by approximately 2.5cm for each size increment.
Is the logo embroidered or printed?
The product description indicates a logo on the left chest, which is typically embroidered for Polo Ralph Lauren shirts, adding a subtle detail.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 'Custom Fit' is designed to be more fitted; consider a size up or a 'Regular Fit' style if more room is preferred. Check the size chart for detailed measurements.
Color fading after washing
Always wash dark colors like black separately for the first few washes. Use a cold or delicate cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh bleaching agents.
Collar not staying crisp
Ensure the collar is properly ironed after washing. Starch can be used sparingly if a firmer collar is desired. Storing the shirt on a hanger helps maintain its shape.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes degrade cotton blends. Ensure you are washing on a delicate cycle and avoid high heat drying. Air drying can help preserve fabric softness.
