FAQs
What is piqué cotton?
Piqué cotton is a type of knit fabric characterized by its textured, waffle-like weave. It's known for its breathability, durability, and ability to hold its shape, making it ideal for polos.
How do I care for the yarn-dyed stripes?
Yarn-dyed stripes are created by dyeing the yarn before weaving. To maintain their crispness, follow standard cotton care: wash in cold water with mild detergent and avoid excessive heat when drying.
Is this polo suitable for formal wear?
This is a smart-casual garment. While more polished than a t-shirt, it is not suitable for formal occasions. It pairs best with jeans, chinos, or smart shorts.
What does 'mod' style refer to?
Mod (short for 'modernist') is a subculture that emerged in the UK in the late 1950s, associated with fashion, music, and a sharp, clean aesthetic. This polo aligns with that style's clean lines and heritage feel.
Can I machine wash this polo?
Yes, you can machine wash this polo. Refer to the care label for the most accurate temperature and cycle recommendations, typically a cool or warm wash.
How does the sizing run?
This polo is a regular fit. It is recommended to check the specific measurements for size XL or compare with a well-fitting polo you already own.
Where is the Lambretta branding located?
The branding includes target detailing at the chest and a woven Lambretta label on the side seam.
Troubleshooting
Color fading after washing.
Always wash according to the care label instructions, preferably in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight when drying.
Piqué texture becoming rough.
Use a gentle wash cycle and avoid high heat during drying. Consider using a fabric softener sparingly.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure you are not using hot water and avoid high heat settings in the dryer. Air drying is the safest method to prevent shrinkage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires minimal setup. As a piece of apparel, its primary function is to be worn. Ensure you consult the care label for specific washing instructions to maintain the garment's quality and appearance. Generally, piqué cotton items benefit from machine washing on a cool or warm cycle with like colors, and tumble drying on low heat or air drying to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric's texture. Iron on a medium setting if necessary.
