FAQs
What is crepe piqué?
Crepe piqué is a type of cotton fabric that has a slightly textured, crinkled surface (crepe) combined with the characteristic raised pattern of piqué knit. It offers a unique feel and visual appeal compared to standard cotton.
How do I know if the classic fit will suit me?
A classic fit is generally straight through the body and sleeves, offering a comfortable and traditional silhouette. It is not overly tight or loose. If you prefer a very slim or oversized look, this fit might require consideration.
Can I wear this polo shirt for formal occasions?
This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While the zip and quality material elevate it, it is not typically considered formal wear.
How should I care for the metal zip?
The metal zip should be treated gently during washing and ironing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat directly on the zip. Ensure it's clean and dry after washing to prevent corrosion.
What does the 'single tipping' refer to?
Single tipping refers to the decorative stripe or band of contrasting color found along the edge of the collar and cuffs, a classic detail on many polo shirts.
Is this shirt available in other colors and sizes?
Yes, this model is typically available in various colors and a range of sizes. Please check the product listing or other available variants for specific options.
What is the MPN for this product?
The model number (MPN) for this specific product variant is M7729.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature (30 degrees Celsius) and avoiding the tumble dryer, which can cause shrinkage. Reshape the garment while damp.
The zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zip up and down. Sometimes a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.
Embroidery appears damaged or stretched.
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidered area. If damaged, do not attempt further washing or ironing until professionally assessed.
Color has faded unevenly.
This can sometimes occur with natural dyes. Ensure you are washing inside out with similar colors and avoiding direct sunlight during drying.
