FAQs
What material is this polo shirt made from?
It is made from 100% soft and breathable cotton, ensuring comfort for all-day wear.
Is this polo shirt true to size?
This polo shirt is designed with a slim fit. We recommend referring to the size guide if available, or considering your usual size for slim fit items. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, you might consider ordering a size up or looking at a 'Regular Fit' variant.
Can I machine wash this polo shirt?
Yes, you can machine wash it. For best results and to preserve the fabric, wash in cold water (30°C) with similar colors and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Is the white color easy to maintain?
White garments generally require more care to keep them pristine. We recommend washing with whites only and using appropriate non-chlorine detergents. Avoid washing with items that might bleed color.
Can I wear this polo for formal occasions?
While it's a versatile piece, it's best suited for casual and smart-casual occasions. Its classic design allows it to be dressed up with tailored trousers for a smart-casual look, but it's not typically recommended for formal events.
Does the shirt have the signature Lyle & Scott eagle logo?
Info needed: [Usually Lyle & Scott products feature their iconic Golden Eagle logo. Please check product images or description for placement.]
Are there other colors or fits available for this style?
Yes, Lyle & Scott typically offers this long sleeve cotton polo in various colors and sometimes in different fits (e.g., Regular Fit). Please check the product page for available variants.
What is the best way to prevent this polo from shrinking?
To prevent shrinkage, always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat when drying. Air drying by laying flat is the most effective method.
Troubleshooting
Polo shirt feels too tight or restrictive.
This particular polo features a slim fit. If you prefer a looser style, consider sizing up or exploring Lyle & Scott's 'Regular Fit' polo shirts.
White fabric appears dull or slightly yellowed after washing.
Ensure you're washing with appropriate detergent for whites and with similar light-colored garments. Avoid washing with colors that might bleed. For persistent dullness, consider using a non-chlorine, oxygen-based bleach safe for cotton, following product instructions carefully.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after drying.
Over-drying can lead to stiffness. Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry by laying flat. A fabric softener in the wash cycle can also help maintain softness.
Shrinkage after washing.
Cotton can be prone to shrinkage with high heat. Always wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to minimize shrinkage.
Buttons feel loose or are difficult to fasten.
Periodically check buttons for loosenness and re-sew if necessary to prevent loss. Ensure buttonholes are not stretched or damaged, which can make fastening difficult.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Upon receiving your polo shirt, it's recommended to wash it according to the care label instructions before the first wear to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility
This polo shirt is designed for adult males. Its classic styling makes it highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items:
- Bottoms: Pairs well with jeans, chinos, corduroys, and tailored trousers.
- Outerwear: Can be comfortably worn under blazers, denim jackets, bomber jackets, or knit cardigans.
- Footwear: Adaptable to sneakers, loafers, desert boots, or smart casual shoes.
Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality, fit, and color of your 100% cotton polo shirt. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colors. Using a gentle cycle can help preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. For white garments, consider a non-chlorine bleach specifically designed for whites, if necessary, to combat yellowing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, lay flat to dry. Air drying helps prevent shrinkage and maintains the fabric's softness. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent potential yellowing of white fabric.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting, inside out, if needed. Do not iron directly on any printed logos or embellishments.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach, unless specifically using a color-safe or oxygen-based bleach suitable for whites and cotton.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Fit Considerations
As this is a slim fit polo, consider trying it on to ensure it meets your comfort and style preferences. If you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up or exploring other 'Regular Fit' variants of Lyle & Scott polos.
