How do I choose the right size for my child?

Is the crocodile logo embroidered or printed?
The signature Lacoste crocodile logo is embroidered at the chest, adding to the shirt's authentic heritage and premium finish.
Will the mother of pearl buttons withstand frequent washing?

Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing
Cotton garments can shrink if washed or dried at high temperatures. Always use cold water for washing and tumble dry on low or air dry flat to prevent shrinkage.
Color is fading
To maintain color vibrancy, wash with similar colors in cold water and avoid direct sunlight exposure during drying for extended periods. Do not use bleach.
Fabric feels stiff or rough after washing
Using too much detergent or hard water can cause stiffness. Try using less detergent, or adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to soften the fabric naturally.
Embroidered logo is damaged or fraying
Always iron the shirt inside out and avoid direct heat on the embroidery. Handle gently during washing and drying to prevent snags.

Care Instructions for Longevity:
To ensure your Lacoste Classic Pique Polo Shirt retains its quality and vibrant color, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle to protect the pique weave.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the cotton fibers and fade the color.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, lay flat to dry. High heat can cause cotton to shrink and affect the fabric's integrity.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out to protect the embroidered logo and fabric texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging with sharp hangers that could distort the shoulders.
Following these steps will help preserve the shirt's premium feel, fit, and appearance through many wears and washes.
