FAQs

What does 'regular fit' mean for this polo shirt?

A regular fit indicates a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, designed to offer comfort and a classic silhouette. It allows for ease of movement and is suitable for layering.

How do I care for the embroidered Laurel Wreath?

To best preserve the embroidery, wash the garment inside out on a cold setting and avoid direct ironing on the logo. Tumble drying on low heat or air drying is recommended.

What is the 5-4-4 stripe motif?

The 5-4-4 stripe motif refers to the specific ratio of the different colored stripes, inspired by the brand's heritage twin tipping details. It creates a distinctive visual pattern on the shirt.

Can I wear this polo shirt in warmer weather?

Yes, the 100% cotton piqué fabric is breathable, making it suitable for warmer days, especially when worn on its own. The quarter-zip can also be opened for ventilation.

What occasions is this polo shirt suitable for?

What are the washing instructions for this shirt?

It is recommended to machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a cool setting if necessary, but do not iron the decoration. Do not dry clean.

Is this shirt available in other colors or sizes?

This specific guide focuses on the Black/Gold XL variant. Please refer to product listings for availability of other sizes and colors.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears smaller after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying; hang drying or tumble drying on low is preferred for cotton piqué.

Stripe pattern seems uneven.

The stripe pattern is designed to be consistent. If you notice significant irregularities, check the garment's construction. Minor variations are normal in textile printing.

The gold-tone zip is stiff or snagging.

Gently try to move the zip up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth of the zip for smoother operation.
