FAQs

What is 'crepe piqué' fabric?

Crepe piqué is a type of cotton fabric with a textured, slightly crinkled surface (crepe) combined with the raised parallel cords characteristic of piqué weave. It offers a smooth feel and a distinctive aesthetic.

How does the metal zip fastening differ from traditional buttons?

The metal zip offers a more contemporary and adjustable neckline compared to buttons. It provides a clean, modern look and allows for easier on-and-off and ventilation control.

Is this polo shirt suitable for hot weather?

Yes, being made of 100% cotton, it is breathable and suitable for warm weather. The smooth crepe texture can also feel lighter than traditional pique.

How should I best care for the beige color?

For the beige color, it's recommended to wash with similar light colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid harsh stain removers that could bleach the fabric. Always wash inside out and dry away from direct sunlight.

What does 'single tipping' refer to?

Single tipping refers to the fine strip of contrasting color woven into the ribbing of the collar and cuffs, a classic detail often found on Fred Perry polos.

Can this polo shirt be worn for formal occasions?

This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While it's stylish, the zip neck and crepe fabric make it less formal than a button-down shirt.

Where is the Laurel Wreath emblem located?

The signature embroidered Laurel Wreath emblem is located on the left chest of the polo shirt.

Troubleshooting

Pilling or fabric roughness after washing.

Ensure you are washing inside out at a low temperature (max 40°C) and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive agitation. Do not tumble dry, and iron on a low heat on the reverse side.

Zip puller feels stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zip up and down. If it persists, a small application of graphite from a pencil tip on the teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zip.

Embroidery on the chest appears distorted.

Ensure the garment is ironed on the reverse side at a low temperature and avoid direct ironing on the embroidered logo.

Color fading over time.

Wash inside out, use a mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. For lighter colors like beige, consider washing with similar colors.
