FAQs

Is the fabric see-through?

Due to the open-weave nature of the bespoke mesh, it is very light and breathable, but it remains opaque enough for standard wear.

Can I tumble dry this polo?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can shrink the cotton mesh and damage the structure of the collar.

Where is the shirt made?

The Sunspel Riviera Polo is proudly manufactured in Portugal.

Does the size 42 fit true to size?

It follows a slim, modern fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a less fitted look, you may want to compare your measurements against the product sizing guide.

What is the material composition?

The shirt is made from 100% cotton, specifically developed as a lightweight mesh for maximum breathability.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears slightly wrinkled after washing

Lightly steam the shirt or iron on a cool setting while the fabric is slightly damp to restore the texture.

The collar loses its shape

Always lay the polo flat or store it on a high-quality hanger immediately after drying; avoid hanging it when wet as this pulls the seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally breathable fabric ideal for hot weather
  • Timeless design with iconic cinematic heritage
  • Soft, high-quality mesh cotton texture
  • Modern, slim-fitting aesthetic

Cons

  • The slim fit may be restrictive for those preferring a looser style
  • Requires adherence to specific washing temperatures to maintain shape
  • Limited stretch compared to synthetic performance fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Sunspel Riviera Polo retains its shape and quality, proper care is essential. The shirt should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius to prevent the cotton fibers from shrinking or becoming brittle. Avoid high-heat drying, as this can distort the mesh structure; instead, reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Given its slim cut, ensure you verify your measurement against the 42-inch chest specification to maintain the intended silhouette.
