Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for athletic activities?
While it features stretch, it is designed primarily as a casual lifestyle garment rather than high-performance activewear.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is recommended to air dry the shirt to prevent damage to the polyester and elastane blend.
How should I store the pleat-back shirt?
Hanging the shirt on a coat hanger is best to ensure the back pleat remains flat and retains its shape.
Is the fabric see-through?
The polyester blend provides a decent thickness that is generally opaque for standard everyday wear.
What is the primary material used?
The shirt is composed of 90% polyester and 10% elastane.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The sizing follows standard UK dress sizes; for a looser fit, some users may prefer to size up.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing
Avoid overloading the machine and hang the garment immediately after the wash cycle ends to allow it to air dry naturally.
Garment losing its shape or elasticity
Ensure you are washing at or below 30°C and avoid using a tumble dryer, which can break down the elastane content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made from a synthetic 90% polyester and 10% elastane blend, care is simple but requires consistency. To maintain the quality of the fabric and the shape of the pleat, wash the shirt in a machine at 30°C. Avoid high-heat drying or harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the elastane fibers, leading to a loss of elasticity over time. Always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish and ensure the pleat remains intact.
