FAQs
What does 'cotton slub' mean?
Cotton slub refers to a type of yarn that has thicker, irregular sections. This creates a textured, slightly uneven appearance in the fabric, adding visual interest and breathability.
Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the 100% cotton slub fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather. The oversized fit also allows for better air circulation.
How do I best maintain the oversized fit?
To maintain the intended oversized fit, avoid over-drying in a hot dryer. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended. Follow the specific washing instructions on the care label.
Can this shirt be dressed up for a smart-casual occasion?
While primarily a casual item, its clean lines and classic rugby elements like the twill collar can allow it to be dressed up slightly with smart trousers or a skirt. However, its relaxed fit leans towards casual wear.
What is the purpose of the side splits?
The side splits are a design feature that increases the garment's ease of movement and allows the hem to lay more comfortably, especially with the boxy, oversized fit.
What does 'concealed button placket' mean?
A concealed button placket means the buttons are hidden beneath a fabric flap, creating a smooth and uninterrupted line down the front of the shirt, which is a hallmark of traditional rugby shirts.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and avoiding high heat in the dryer. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended.
Fabric texture seems to be diminishing.
Wash the garment inside out and avoid harsh detergents or excessive agitation. Air dry to preserve the slub texture.
Color fading on the stripes.
Wash with similar colors and use a detergent specifically designed for colored fabrics. A cold wash also helps prevent color bleeding.
