FAQs

What does 'organically grown cotton' mean?

Organically grown cotton is produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified seeds, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to conventional cotton.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. This shirt is a 'Regular Fit', so if you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down.

Can this polo shirt be worn for smart-casual events?

Yes, the premium fabric, stripe tipping, and overall design make it suitable for many smart-casual occasions when paired appropriately, such as with well-fitting chinos and smart shoes.

What is the significance of the Sun Logo and low-impact materials?

The Sun Logo and the mention of 'low-impact materials' indicate the garment's commitment to sustainability. It signifies that at least 50% of the materials used are environmentally preferred, reducing the product's ecological footprint.

How do I care for the two-colour stripe tipping?

The stripe tipping is part of the fabric and should be cared for according to the general garment instructions: machine wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry, and iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.

Is this shirt suitable for all seasons?

The cotton and elastane blend makes it most suitable for spring and autumn. It can be layered in cooler weather or worn on its own in milder temperatures. For very cold weather, layering would be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you followed the 'Machine wash cold' and 'Tumble dry low' instructions. For future washes, consider air drying to minimize shrinkage.

Color faded after a few washes

Wash inside out with like colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid excessive heat during drying and direct sunlight when drying outdoors.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth if it persists. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
