FAQs
What is the main difference between this knitted polo and a classic pique polo?
The primary difference lies in the material and texture. This polo is made from a fine-gauge knit, offering a softer, lighter, and more textured feel, similar to a sweater. A classic pique polo is made from a woven pique fabric, which is typically heavier and has a more textured, honeycomb-like surface.
Is this polo suitable for very warm weather?
Yes, the 100% organic cotton knit is breathable and lightweight, making it comfortable for warm weather. However, its textured nature might feel slightly warmer than a very thin, smooth fabric.
What does '16-gauge knit' mean?
A 16-gauge knit refers to the fineness of the knit. A higher gauge number indicates a finer, denser knit, resulting in a smoother and often lighter fabric, as seen in this polo shirt.
Can I wear this polo for formal events?
While it's a sophisticated piece, it's best suited for smart-casual or casual events. It's not typically considered formal wear, but it can be dressed up with a blazer for certain occasions.
How should I store the polo shirt?
It's recommended to fold the polo shirt rather than hanging it to prevent stretching or distortion of the knit, especially around the shoulders and collar.
Does the embroidered crocodile logo hold up well to washing?
Yes, the embroidered logo is designed to be durable. Following the washing instructions (gentle cycle, cold water) will help maintain its appearance.
What sizes are available?
This polo shirt is available in sizes ranging from S to XXL, with this specific product being in size XXL.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If slight shrinkage occurred, you can try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Pilling or snagging on the knit.
Handle with care to avoid snags. Gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures.
Color fading.
Wash inside out in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
