FAQs

What is the GSM of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 125gsm, which is considered a standard weight for poplin shirts.

Is this shirt suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the shirt is made from 100% cotton and is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, indicating it has been tested for harmful substances.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which usually provides measurements for chest, waist, and length to help you find the best fit for the tailored design.

Can this shirt be worn for casual occasions?

While designed as a formal shirt, its 100% cotton fabric and classic look can be dressed down for smart-casual occasions, perhaps with the sleeves rolled up.

What does 'Easy-Care' mean for this shirt?

Easy-care means the shirt is designed to be low-maintenance, requiring less ironing and simpler washing instructions compared to delicate fabrics.

What certifications does this shirt hold regarding sustainability?

The shirt holds certifications including Amfori, Better Cotton Initiative, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and WRAP Certified, highlighting its commitment to ethical and sustainable production.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure the shirt is ironed while still damp. Alternatively, tumble dry on a low heat setting. For stubborn wrinkles, use a medium heat iron.

Fabric feels stiff.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a standard washing cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying which can make cotton stiff.

Buttons are difficult to fasten.

Check if the buttonholes have been stretched. Gentle stretching of the buttonholes with a finger can help. Ensure the correct size is being worn; a tight fit can strain buttons.
