It is finished with the signature embroidered Polo Pony on the left chest.

FAQs
What does 'Custom Fit' mean for this shirt?
The 'Custom Fit' is a tailored silhouette designed to be slimmer than a 'Classic Fit' but not as tight as a 'Slim Fit'. It offers a refined shape that is comfortable and modern.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the provided sizing chart, paying close attention to the chest, shoulder, and sleeve measurements. Comparing these to a well-fitting shirt you already own is also recommended.
Can this shirt be worn for formal occasions?
This Oxford shirt is best suited for smart-casual and business-casual settings. For highly formal events, a dress shirt made from finer poplin or twill with a different collar style would be more appropriate.
What is the material composition?
The shirt is made from 100% Cotton.
How should I care for the embroidered logo?
Avoid direct heat when ironing the embroidered area. It's best to iron the garment inside out or use a protective cloth over the logo. Machine washing on a gentle cycle is recommended.
Is this shirt suitable for all seasons?
The 100% cotton fabric makes it comfortable for most seasons. It can be worn on its own in warmer weather or layered effectively in cooler temperatures.
What colors and patterns are available in this style?
This specific listing is for the Pink/White Stripe variant. However, Polo Ralph Lauren offers Oxford shirts in various colors and patterns, often including solids, stripes, and checks, across different fits.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.
Ensure the shirt is removed from the washing machine promptly. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry immediately. If wrinkles persist, iron on a medium heat setting while slightly damp.
Shrinkage after washing or drying.
Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Use cold water for washing and avoid high heat settings for drying. Hang drying is the safest method to prevent shrinkage.
Collar points not staying crisp.
Ensure the collar is buttoned down after washing and drying. Ironing the collar carefully can help maintain its shape. For a more permanent crispness, consider using a subtle collar stay if the shirt design allows.
Embroidery appears damaged.
Avoid direct ironing over the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a pressing cloth over the embroidery. Check washing instructions to ensure the cycle is not too aggressive.
