FAQs

What makes Supima® cotton different from regular cotton?

Supima® cotton is an extra-long staple cotton, meaning its fibers are longer and finer. This results in a stronger, softer fabric with a smoother surface that resists pilling and holds color better than conventional cotton.

How should I determine my correct size?

The product is described as a 'Regular fit'. It is recommended to consult a size guide if available, or compare the garment's measurements to a well-fitting polo shirt you already own. Given the regular fit, consider sizing down if you prefer a more fitted appearance.

Can this polo shirt be worn in formal settings?

While the knitted texture and premium cotton give it a more elevated feel, it's best suited for smart-casual occasions rather than formal events. It can be dressed up with blazers or worn on its own for less formal settings.

Is the black color likely to fade?

Supima® cotton is known for its color retention. However, following the care instructions (washing in cold water, inside out, and avoiding direct sunlight) will help preserve the black color for longer.

What does 'knitted shirting' mean for this polo?

Instead of being made from a woven fabric like traditional pique polos, this shirt is constructed using a knitting technique. This typically results in a softer, more flexible fabric with a subtle texture and drape.

How do I care for the ribbed hem and cuffs?

The ribbed sections are part of the knit construction and should be cared for the same way as the rest of the shirt. Avoid excessive stretching during washing or drying to maintain their elasticity.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have lost its shape after washing.

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry.

Color fading is noticeable.

Wash the garment inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

The embroidered logo looks damaged.

Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, do so on the reverse side on a low heat setting.
