Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking a premium, versatile knitted polo shirt. The key benefit is its elevated feel and brilliant finish due to the use of extra-long staple Supima® cotton. A potential caveat is that the regular fit may not suit those preferring an oversized or very slim silhouette. This shirt features a classic polo design with a three-button placket, ribbed hem and cuffs, and the iconic embroidered Laurel Wreath.

FAQs
What makes Supima® cotton different?
Supima® cotton is made from extra-long staple cotton fibers, which results in a fabric that is noticeably softer, stronger, more durable, and holds color better than conventional cotton.
How do I know if I need to size up or down?
This shirt features a regular fit. Consult a size chart and consider your preference for a more relaxed or fitted look. If you are between sizes and prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
Can this shirt be worn year-round?
Yes, the knitted cotton fabric is breathable for warmer weather and can also be layered effectively under warmer clothing during cooler seasons.
How should I care for the embroidered Laurel Wreath?
Avoid ironing directly on the embroidery. Wash and dry the shirt inside out to protect the threads from abrasion.
Is this shirt suitable for formal occasions?
While it's a more elevated knit than a standard polo, it is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. It is not typically considered formal wear.
What is the difference between this knitted shirt and a traditional pique polo?
A pique polo uses a textured knit fabric (pique weave), while this shirt uses a smoother, finer knit construction from Supima® cotton, resulting in a different drape and handfeel.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears faded after washing
Ensure you are washing inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Shrinking after drying
Avoid high heat settings in the dryer. Opt for tumble dry low or, preferably, hang dry.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric
Carefully wash with like colors and avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures. Handle with care to prevent snags.
Loss of shape
Follow the care instructions for washing and drying. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat or hang to dry. Ensure the ribbed cuffs and hem are not overstretched.
