FAQs

What material is this polo shirt made from?

The polo shirt is made from crepe pique fabric, which is a type of textured cotton known for its durability and ability to maintain shape.

How should I determine my size?

This guide focuses on the XL size. Please refer to standard sizing charts for Fred Perry or the retailer's specific measurements to ensure the best fit. The product description notes a structured fit across the shoulders and chest.

Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?

While it offers a refined look, this polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual occasions rather than formal events. It pairs well with trousers, chinos, or dark jeans.

Can this polo shirt be worn in hot weather?

Yes, the short sleeves and breathable cotton fabric make it comfortable for warm weather. The structured fit ensures it still looks neat.

How does the 'structured fit' differ from a regular fit?

A structured fit is designed to hold its shape more rigidly, particularly in the shoulders and chest, offering a cleaner, more tailored appearance. A regular fit is generally more relaxed.

What other colors are available?

Fred Perry offers this short sleeve polo shirt in various colors, including White. Please check other listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shirt loses shape after washing

Fabric appears faded

Check if the shirt was exposed to excessive sunlight during drying or washed with harsh detergents. Always wash with like colors in cold water.

Buttons feel loose

Carefully re-stitch loose buttons using a strong thread that matches the original color. Consult a tailor for more significant repairs.
