FAQs
What is the main difference between this polo and a traditional one?
The primary difference is the metal-zip fastening instead of traditional buttons, offering a more contemporary aesthetic. It's also made from a smooth cotton crepe piqué fabric.
Is this polo shirt suitable for formal occasions?
This polo is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While it has a refined look, it is not typically considered formal wear.
How do I know if I need a size L?
The size L corresponds to a UK waist size of 40. It's recommended to check standard sizing charts for accurate measurements, but this polo is designed for a regular fit.
What does 'crepe piqué' fabric mean?
Crepe piqué is a type of textured cotton fabric that has a slight crinkled or puckered surface, similar to crepe, combined with the characteristic small raised dots of piqué weave. This gives it a smooth yet textured feel.
Can I wear this polo in warm weather?
Yes, as it is made from 100% cotton, it is breathable and suitable for warmer weather. The zip can also be opened slightly for added ventilation.
Are there other color options available for this zip-neck polo?
Yes, this style is available in other colors such as White and Cream, often with different tipping colors depending on the specific variant.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure washing is done in cold water and avoid high heat in the dryer. Hang drying is recommended to maintain size.
Pilling or snagging on fabric
Wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim with heavy hardware. Gentle handling during wear can also prevent snags.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and taut. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help if the issue persists.
Embroidered emblem fading or lifting
Avoid direct ironing on the emblem. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to care instructions, preferably inside out.
