FAQs
What is the primary material of the Lacoste L.12.12 Polo Shirt?
The shell of the polo shirt is made from 100% cotton. The collar and cuff ribbing may contain a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane for improved fit and durability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. The shirt features a regular fit, which is standard. Consider your preferred fit (e.g., if you like a looser fit, you might size up).
Can I wear this polo shirt for formal occasions?
This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual occasions. While versatile, it is generally not considered formal wear. It can be dressed up with blazers or chinos but is not a substitute for a dress shirt.
How does the striped collar affect the shirt's style?
The striped collar adds a subtle yet distinctive design detail that elevates the classic polo, making it slightly more modern and visually interesting than a plain collar.
Is the L.12.12 polo shirt breathable?
Yes, the 100% cotton pique fabric is known for its breathability, making it comfortable to wear, especially in moderate to warm temperatures.
What does 'Pique' fabric mean?
Pique refers to a type of knit fabric construction that creates a textured, slightly raised surface with a waffle-like or honeycomb pattern. It's known for its durability and breathability.
How should I care for the shirt to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash cold (30°C max) inside out with mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry flat. Iron on low heat if needed. Proper care helps maintain the fabric's quality and shape.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you followed the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid high heat drying. Air drying is preferable. If slight shrinkage occurred, a low-heat iron might help relax the fibers.
Collar is not holding its shape.
Check care label for specific collar material. Ensure you are not over-drying on high heat. Air drying flat is the best method. Ironing on a low setting can help reshape the collar.
Color fading after a few washes.
Wash the garment inside out in cold water (30°C max) with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Pilling or fabric wear on the surface.
Reduce friction where possible. Ensure washing is done inside out and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can sometimes degrade fibers over time.
