Full details

FAQs

What is the primary material of the shirt?

The shell fabric is a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, known as Cotton Comfort fabric, weighing 144g.

Is this shirt suitable for all industries?

It is highly visible and meets standards for many industries, especially those requiring high-visibility clothing like construction and transport. The 100% metal-free design makes it particularly suitable for corporate wear and industries where metal fasteners are a concern.

How does the slim fit affect comfort?

The slim fit is designed to provide a modern, tailored look and enhanced comfort for those who prefer a closer fit. However, individuals who prefer a looser garment may find it restrictive.

What does '100% metal-free' mean for this polo shirt?

It means the shirt has no exposed metal components, such as buttons or zippers. This reduces the risk of scratching surfaces or causing hazards in specific work environments.

How long does the high-visibility certification last?

The shirt is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards after 50 washes, indicating its durability and sustained performance under specified care conditions.

Can this shirt be worn in direct sunlight?

Yes, the fabric is rated 40+ UPF, which blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, offering good protection during prolonged exposure to sunlight.

What are the washcare limitations?

It can be machine washed up to 40°C, tumble dried on low, and ironed on low heat. It should not be bleached or dry cleaned. The certification is valid for 50 washes.

Troubleshooting

Shirt color fading or not remaining bright.

Follow washcare instructions carefully. Wash in cold or warm water (up to 40°C), use mild detergent, and avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure proper drying methods are used and avoid prolonged direct sunlight when not being worn.

Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced.

Ensure the garment is not treated with fabric softeners, as these can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking performance. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Fit is too tight or uncomfortable.

This garment features a slim fit. If a looser fit is preferred, consider ordering one size up or exploring regular fit alternatives if available from the brand.

Hi-vis properties diminishing after washing.

The shirt is certified to maintain EN ISO 20471 Class 2 compliance after 50 washes. Ensure washing is done according to the specified limits (40°C) and cycle count. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
