Product Information
Full details
This Polo Ralph Lauren Custom Fit Seersucker Oxford Shirt is designed for the modern man seeking a blend of classic style and comfort. Its key benefit is the unique seersucker-like texture and secret wash that offers instant character and softness. A potential caveat is that the 'Custom Fit' is a tailored silhouette, so those preferring a looser fit may wish to consider sizing up or exploring other fits. Crafted from 100% cotton, this shirt features an all-over vertical stripe, button-down collar, and the signature embroidered Polo Pony.

FAQs
What does 'Custom Fit' mean for this shirt?
'Custom Fit' refers to Ralph Lauren's tailored silhouette, which is trimmer than their Classic Fit but more relaxed than their Slim Fit. It is designed to be tailored through the waist for a comfortable, modern look.
What is the 'Secret Ralph Lauren Wash'?
This is a proprietary washing process developed by Ralph Lauren over many years. It imparts an immediate softness, character, and a slightly heathered appearance to the fabric, making the shirt feel like a well-worn favorite from the first wear.
How do I care for the seersucker-like fabric?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed, preferably while slightly damp, to maintain the puckered texture.
Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?
This shirt is best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings. While it has classic shirt elements like a button-down collar, the seersucker texture and Custom Fit make it more appropriate for less formal environments than a traditional broadcloth dress shirt.
What does 'seersucker-like effect' mean?
It means the fabric is woven in a way that mimics the puckered texture of traditional seersucker, known for its breathability and characteristic crinkled appearance. This specific shirt's weave is designed to achieve a similar aesthetic and feel.
Can I machine dry this shirt?
Yes, you can machine dry it, but it's recommended to use a low heat setting or to tumble dry on 'delicates'. For best results and to preserve the fabric's texture, hang drying is the preferred method.
What material is the shirt made from?
The shirt is made from 100% Cotton.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels stiff or rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cold wash cycle. Avoid over-drying; hang drying or tumble drying on low is recommended. Ironing while slightly damp on a low setting can help restore softness.
Seersucker texture appears flattened.
Avoid high heat when drying or ironing. Iron on a low setting and do not press too firmly. Try ironing while the shirt is slightly damp to help revive the puckered texture.
Embroidered logo is damaged.
Avoid direct high heat on the embroidery when ironing. If damage occurs, do not attempt to iron over the damaged area.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the unique texture and softness of the seersucker-like fabric and the special wash, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for best results. Over-drying can damage the fabric's texture.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can flatten the seersucker effect. It is often best to iron while the garment is slightly damp.
- Special Note: Due to the unique wash process, colors may continue to evolve slightly over time, adding to the garment's character.
