Troubleshooting

Polo shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding high heat drying. Hang drying is recommended for 100% cotton items to minimize shrinkage.

Colors seem to be fading.

Wash the garment inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying and consider using a color-safe detergent.

Stitching is coming undone.

Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. If the seam is significantly compromised, consult a tailor for repair.

Collar is misshapen.

Reshape the collar while the garment is damp and allow it to air dry flat. Avoid excessive heat during drying.
