FAQs

What is the primary material of this shirt?

The shirt is made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton in a poplin weave.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

The 105gsm weight and polyester blend make it suitable for general wear. For extremely hot and humid conditions, a lighter, 100% cotton shirt might offer better breathability.

How does the 'easy-care' feature work?

The easy-care finish involves treatments applied to the fabric that help it resist wrinkling and reduce drying time, making it simpler and quicker to iron.

Does the shirt have a pocket?

Yes, it features one chest pocket.

What does 'WRAP Certified' mean for this product?

WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) certification indicates that the product's manufacturing facility has met standards for lawful, ethical, and humane production.

Can I wear this shirt for casual occasions?

While designed as a formal shirt, its classic appearance can be dressed down for smart casual occasions when paired with different items like chinos or dark jeans.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 105gsm (grams per square meter).

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and cycle. Remove the shirt promptly from the dryer and hang it, or iron it while slightly damp at a medium heat setting.

Fabric feels stiff after multiple washes.

Check if fabric softener is being used appropriately, or try a different brand. Ensure the shirt is not over-dried in the tumble dryer, as this can sometimes stiffen synthetic blends.

Collar loses its shape.

Ensure the collar is properly aligned before washing and drying. Avoid excessive heat during drying, as this can damage the collar stiffening. If persistent, consider a specialized collar support or professional cleaning.

Buttons feel loose.

Use a needle and thread to reinforce any loose buttons by adding a few extra stitches. If a button is missing, replacement buttons can often be found at haberdashery stores.

  • Features practical elements like a chest pocket and buttoned cuffs.
  • Made with adherence to sustainability and ethical production standards.

Cons

  • The 'regular' fit may require tailoring for a perfect silhouette.
  • Poplin weave, while durable, might be less breathable than other materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shirt requires no specific setup beyond standard wear. Ensure it is properly buttoned before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various sizes; consult a size guide to find the best fit. The 'Regular' fit type is generally compatible with standard builds.
  • Styling: Pairs well with formal trousers, suits, ties, blazers, and smart casual wear. Suitable for layering under sweaters or vests.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle or normal cycle.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach. Use non-chlorine bleach only if necessary, following fabric guidelines.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry for best results and to minimize shrinkage.
  • Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature (up to 150°C or 300°F). The easy-care finish means minimal ironing is typically required.
  • Dry Cleaning: Can be dry cleaned, but it is not essential given the easy-care properties.
