FAQs
What is the 'twin tipping' on the collar and cuffs?
The 'twin tipping' refers to the distinctive stripes in a specific 5-4-4 ratio that run along the collar and cuffs of the polo shirt. It's a signature Fred Perry design element rooted in the brand's tennis heritage.
Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?
This is primarily a smart-casual or casual garment. While it offers a polished look, it is not suitable for formal events. It's best paired with jeans, chinos, or casual trousers.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's size chart for accurate measurements. The shirt has a regular fit, so consider if you prefer a slightly looser or more fitted feel when choosing your size.
Can I wear this shirt in warmer weather?
Yes, the 100% cotton pique fabric is breathable and comfortable for warmer weather. You can also wear it in cooler weather as a layering piece.
How do I care for the embroidered laurel wreath?
To preserve the embroidery, avoid ironing directly on the logo. It's also recommended to wash the garment inside out.
What does 'pique' fabric mean?
Pique is a type of knit fabric construction characterized by its textured, woven pattern, often resembling a honeycomb or waffle. It's known for its breathability, durability, and slight structure, making it ideal for polo shirts.
What is the difference between this long sleeve and a short sleeve version?
The main difference is the sleeve length. The long sleeve version offers more coverage and warmth, making it suitable for cooler seasons or as a layering piece, while the short sleeve is ideal for warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water and air drying. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Check the care label for precise instructions.
Color fading quickly.
Wash the garment inside out in cold water. Use a detergent designed for colored fabrics and avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Pilling or fabric wear.
Reduce friction by washing inside out and avoiding overly vigorous washing cycles. Air drying also helps minimize wear.
Tipping details (collar/cuffs) look distorted.
Avoid ironing directly on the tipping. If ironing is needed, use a low-medium heat setting and iron around the tipped areas or iron inside out.
