FAQs
What does 'Custom Fit' mean for this shirt?
The Custom Fit is a silhouette that is tailored through the waist, offering a shape that is more fitted than a classic cut but less so than a slim fit. It aims for a balanced, flattering appearance.
Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the 100% linen fabric is highly breathable and lightweight, making it ideal for warm and hot weather conditions.
How should I care for the linen fabric to prevent shrinkage?
It is recommended to wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C and preferably line dry. Tumble drying on low heat can also be used, but avoid high heat which can cause shrinkage.
Can the Pony embroidery be ironed directly?
It is best to avoid ironing directly over the embroidery. Iron the garment from the reverse side or use a pressing cloth over the embroidery to protect it.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided, noting the specific measurements for back length, shoulders, chest, and sleeve length for size M as an example. The sleeve length calculation from the middle of the neck is also provided.
What occasions is this shirt best suited for?
This shirt is versatile and can be worn for casual events, weekend outings, semi-formal gatherings, or even smart business casual settings in warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Shirt has excessive wrinkles
Iron the shirt while it is still slightly damp on a medium heat setting. Alternatively, use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles effectively.
Color fading after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying to preserve color vibrancy.
Shirt feels stiff
Linen can become softer with each wash. Repeated washing and wearing will improve the fabric's suppleness.
