Product Information
Full details
The Tuffstuff 131 Elite Polo Shirt in Black is designed for adult male professionals in demanding work environments. Its key benefit is its lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying polyester fabric, ensuring comfort throughout the workday.

Troubleshooting
Shirt feels warm or not breathable enough.
Ensure you are washing the shirt according to care instructions to maintain fabric performance. For very hot conditions, consider air drying thoroughly before wear. While breathable, 100% polyester has inherent limitations compared to natural fibers.
Colour fading or bleeding.
Wash with similar colours only and at the recommended 40°C maximum. Avoid harsh detergents. Ensure the shirt is fully rinsed before drying. Always air dry, as high heat from a dryer can affect colour.
Shirt is snagged or torn.
Inspect the area for the source of the snag. Minor snags on polyester can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant tears, repair may not be feasible due to the nature of the fabric. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
Shirt feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen with polyester. Ensure you are not using excessive detergent and consider a fabric softener designed for synthetic fabrics, used sparingly according to its own instructions.
