Product Information
Full details
This Fred Perry Polo Shirt in green, size 40, is designed for the adult male seeking a modern take on a classic style. Its key benefit is the elevated aesthetic provided by a metal-zip fastening, offering a sharp and airy vibe. A potential caveat is its specific fit and material, which may require attention to care instructions to maintain its quality. Crafted from smooth cotton crepe piqué, it features a regular fit, half-zip fastening, single tipping on the collar and cuffs, and the signature embroidered Laurel Wreath emblem.

FAQs
What material is this polo shirt made of?
The polo shirt is crafted from 100% cotton crepe piqué fabric.
How does the fit compare to a standard polo?
This polo features a regular fit, offering a comfortable and classic silhouette. It is designed to be neither too tight nor too loose.
Is the zip functional or just decorative?
The metal-zip fastening is functional, allowing for a half-zip closure.
How should I wash this polo shirt to maintain its quality?
It is recommended to machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying on high heat. Hang drying is preferred.
What does 'single tipping' refer to?
Single tipping refers to the subtle contrasting stripe detail found on the collar and cuffs of the polo shirt.
Where is the Laurel Wreath emblem located?
The signature embroidered Laurel Wreath emblem is located on the left chest of the polo shirt.
Can this polo shirt be worn for formal occasions?
This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual occasions. While it is more elevated than a standard polo due to its fabric and zip detail, it is not typically considered formal wear.
Troubleshooting
Polo shirt appears creased after washing.
Ensure the shirt is smooth before drying. Opt for hang drying instead of tumble drying. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with the embroidery and zip.
Zip gets stuck.
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny drop of lubricant (like WD-40, applied very sparingly and then wiped off) can help if friction is the issue. Avoid forcing the zip.
Color fading.
Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Embroidery appears damaged.
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or use a pressing cloth over the embroidery.
