FAQs
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is a pique blend of 65% organic cotton and 35% polyester.
Is this shirt suitable for hot weather?
The organic cotton blend offers good breathability, but the polyester content means it may not be as cool as a 100% cotton item in extreme heat. The pique weave also adds some texture which can aid airflow.
How do I remove the detachable label?
The label is typically attached with a few stitches along the seam. You can carefully cut these stitches with scissors or a seam ripper to remove the label cleanly.
Can this polo shirt be used for corporate branding?
Yes, the detachable label makes it easy to remove the original branding, and the durable fabric is suitable for custom printing or embroidery.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric weight is 190 g/m², which is considered a medium-weight fabric.
How does the fit compare to other polo shirts?
This polo shirt features a 'Regular' fit type with straight sleeves without a hem, offering a classic, comfortable silhouette.
What washing temperature is recommended?
The shirt is designed to be washed at a maximum of 60°C.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk significantly after washing.
Ensure the garment was washed according to the care label instructions, specifically the 60°C maximum temperature and medium tumble dry setting. Pre-shrunk fabrics minimize shrinkage, but extreme heat can still affect cotton blends.
Pilling or excessive wear after a few washes.
Check if the washing machine load was too heavy, causing excessive friction. Ensure you are washing with similar colors and fabrics. Use a lower heat setting for tumble drying if pilling persists.
Stitching has come undone.
While designed with twin needle stitching for durability, significant stress or snagging could cause issues. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. For larger seam failures, consider professional repair.
