FAQs

What is 'crepe piqué' fabric?

Crepe piqué is a type of woven fabric that uses a textured yarn to create a slightly crinkled or pebbled surface, offering a distinct feel and improved crease resistance compared to traditional cotton piqué.

How does the fit compare to a standard Fred Perry polo?

This shirt is tailored to a regular fit, similar to Fred Perry's classic polo shirts, designed for comfort and a standard silhouette. It's recommended to take your usual size.

Can this polo shirt be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the 100% cotton fabric makes it breathable and suitable for warmer weather. The zip neck can also be adjusted for ventilation.

Is the metal zip durable?

The silver-tone metal zip is designed for durability and adds a modern aesthetic. Proper care, as outlined, will help maintain its function.

What does the 'single tipping' refer to?

Single tipping refers to the contrasting colored stripe detail that is applied to the edges of the collar and cuffs.

How should I care for the embroidered Laurel Wreath?

The embroidery is durable, but to best preserve it, follow the general care instructions: wash in cold water, use mild detergent, and avoid high heat drying or harsh ironing directly on the emblem.

Troubleshooting

Pilling or stretching after washing

Ensure washing on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid high heat in the dryer; opt for air drying or low tumble dry.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Color fading

Wash the garment inside out in cold water. Use detergents that are free from harsh chemicals or optical brighteners.

Shrinkage

Avoid hot water washes and high heat drying. Always refer to and follow the care label instructions precisely.
