FAQs

What makes Supima® cotton different from regular cotton?

Supima® cotton is a superior type of cotton grown in the USA, known for its extra-long staple fibers. This results in a fabric that is significantly softer, stronger, more durable, and holds color better than conventional cotton.

Is this shirt suitable for warm weather?

Yes, the knitted construction allows for good breathability, and the natural properties of cotton make it comfortable in moderate to warm temperatures. It's ideal for spring and summer days.

How should I store the shirt?

It's best to store the shirt folded rather than on a hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the knit. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing.

What is the fit of this shirt?

The shirt has a regular fit. This means it is designed to be comfortable and neither too tight nor too loose, sitting comfortably on the body.

Can I wear this shirt for formal occasions?

This shirt is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. While made from premium materials, its knitted nature and polo style make it less formal than a woven dress shirt.

How do I care for the embroidered Laurel Wreath?

Avoid direct heat or high-pressure ironing on the embroidery. Washing inside out and ironing on the reverse side on a low setting will help maintain its integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade Supima® cotton fibers over time. Reshape while damp and dry flat.

Color fading.

Wash the garment inside out in cold water to protect the dye. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Shrinkage after drying.

Always opt for low heat or air drying (drying flat is best). Avoid high heat settings in the washing machine or dryer.

Embroidery starting to fray.

Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasive contact with the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, iron on the reverse side at a low temperature.
