Troubleshooting
Shirt appears creased after washing
Ensure the shirt is ironed while slightly damp on a medium heat setting, paying close attention to the pleated areas. Using a steam iron can also help restore crispness.
Pleats are losing their definition
Re-iron carefully, focusing on shaping the pleats. Store the shirt on a suitable hanger to prevent them from flattening.
Gold buttons appear dull
Gently polish the gold-toned buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Shirt feels stiff
This is characteristic of crisp cotton poplin, designed for structure. It will soften slightly with wear and subsequent washes following care instructions.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the nature of the cotton poplin and detailed pleating, hand washing or a gentle machine wash on a delicate cycle is recommended.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry, preferably away from direct sunlight to preserve color.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting. For best results, iron the shirt while slightly damp or use a steam iron to ensure the pleats remain crisp and sharp. Iron the inside of the fabric where possible to protect the outer finish.
- Storage: Hang the shirt on a padded or wide hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing, especially around the shoulder pleats.
