FAQs
What does 'Custom Fit' mean for this shirt?
The Custom Fit is a trim silhouette that is more tailored through the waist than a Classic Fit, but offers more room than a Slim Fit. It aims for a comfortable, modern shape.
Is this shirt suitable for formal business meetings?
While versatile, the Oxford fabric and striped pattern lean more towards smart-casual or business-casual environments. For very formal business meetings, a finer-weave dress shirt might be more appropriate.
How do I maintain the signature embroidered Pony?
The embroidered Pony is durable. Simply follow the standard washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidery.
Can I wear this shirt in hot weather?
Yes, the 100% cotton Oxford fabric is breathable and comfortable for warmer weather. It's ideal for spring and summer days.
What is the best way to iron this shirt?
Iron the shirt while it is slightly damp, or use a steam iron on a medium heat setting. Iron the collar and cuffs first, followed by the sleeves and body.
Does the shirt come in other colors?
This specific product is the Pink variant. Polo Ralph Lauren offers this shirt style in various colors and patterns across different product lines.
How should I care for the button cuffs?
The button cuffs can be ironed flat. Ensure the buttons are secured and the fabric around them is smooth.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.
Ensure the shirt is removed from the dryer promptly. Iron while slightly damp on a medium heat setting, or use a steamer. For future washes, consider hanging to dry.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always follow the care instructions. Avoid high heat in the dryer and consider air drying. If shrinkage has occurred, try ironing on a damp setting to gently stretch the fabric.
Button comes loose or falls off.
If a spare button is included, sew it back on using a strong thread and a suitable needle. If not, a tailor can easily replace it, or you can purchase similar buttons from a craft store.
Stains on the fabric.
Address stains promptly. For typical fabric stains, apply a stain remover before washing according to the care label. For difficult stains, consult a professional dry cleaner.
