FAQs
What is the difference between Classic Fit and Slim Fit?
The Classic Fit is cut generously through the body and sleeves for a traditional look, whereas Slim Fit is tailored closer to the body for a modern, contoured silhouette.
Does this polo shrink in the wash?
Like most high-quality cotton garments, it may experience minor shrinkage if subjected to high heat. Always wash cold and air dry to maintain the original fit.
Can I bleach this polo?
No, bleach will damage the cotton fibers and fade the blue pigment of the shirt as well as the intricate embroidery.
What does 'piqué' mean?
Piqué is a knitting technique that creates a textured, waffle-like appearance on the fabric, which increases durability and breathability.
How should I store this shirt to avoid wrinkles?
Folding the shirt carefully will keep it wrinkle-free; if you prefer hanging, use wide-shouldered, non-slip hangers to maintain the shape of the shoulder seams.
Troubleshooting
Collar losing its shape
Avoid hanging by the collar. Ensure it is stored folded and, when ironing, use a starch-free method to keep the fabric natural and resilient.
Visible shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding high-heat dryer cycles, as cotton piqué fibers are susceptible to heat-induced contraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent fading and minimize shrinkage.

- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary to touch up the collar or placket, avoiding direct contact with the embroidered logos.
- Storage: Fold the garment to prevent hanger marks on the shoulders, or use padded hangers if choosing to hang the item.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with cotton chinos, relaxed-fit trousers, and casual leather loafers or canvas sneakers.
