Featuring a trim silhouette and soft, garment-dyed cotton, this shirt offers a broken-in feel from the very first wear, making it a versatile staple for both smart-casual and professional settings.

FAQs
What does 'Custom Fit' mean in this context?
Custom Fit refers to a slim, tailored silhouette that is cut closer to the body, particularly through the waist, compared to a classic or regular fit.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
While the cotton is high-quality, it is best to wash in cold water and hang dry to minimize any potential shrinkage from heat.
Can I wear this with a tie?
Yes, the button-down collar is designed to accommodate a tie, making it a functional choice for work or formal events.
What is the benefit of the split back yoke?
The split back yoke, combined with a box pleat, allows for greater shoulder movement, ensuring that the slim fit does not impede your ability to reach or move comfortably.
Does the colour fade?
Garment-dyed clothing often develops a unique character over time. Washing inside out and using cold water will help maintain the intensity of the blue hue for longer.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels too tight in the shoulders
The box pleat is designed for motion, but if it feels restrictive, try wearing a lighter undershirt or consider sizing up in a regular fit variant.
Visible fading after several washes
Always wash garment-dyed items with like colors and use color-safe detergents; avoid harsh bleaching agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment-dyed oxford, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the embroidered Polo Pony and the external surface.
- Temperature: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the vibrancy of the New Iris Blue color.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinkage, though a low-heat tumble dry is acceptable.
- Ironing: Use a medium-hot iron to press the collar and cuffs, but avoid excessive heat on the garment-dyed surface to prevent fading.
- Fit Check: This shirt is a size L with a slim cut; verify your measurements against standard tailored fits before purchasing to ensure the waist and shoulder width match your frame.
