FAQs

What does 'Custom Slim Fit' mean?

Custom Slim Fit is a tailored cut that is slimmer through the body and sleeves than a classic fit, designed to offer a more modern and streamlined silhouette without being overly tight.

Is this polo shirt suitable for hot weather?

Yes, the blend of cotton and elastane makes the fabric breathable and comfortable, suitable for warm weather. The stretch also allows for better air circulation.

Can I wear this polo shirt for a formal occasion?

This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions. It is generally not considered appropriate for formal events.

How does the stretch fabric affect comfort?

The 5% elastane in the fabric provides flexibility and stretch, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable fit throughout the day.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This model is available in various sizes, including XXL, M, and S, and typically comes in other classic colors in addition to navy blue.

How should I store the polo shirt?

For best results, store the polo shirt folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging may cause the shoulders to stretch over time, especially given the stretch fabric.

Will the polo shirt shrink significantly?

When washed and dried according to the provided instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low), significant shrinkage should be minimal. Avoid high heat drying to prevent excessive shrinking.

Troubleshooting

Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric

This can sometimes occur with cotton blends. Ensure you are washing inside out and avoiding excessive friction with other garments or abrasive surfaces. Consider a fabric shaver if pilling is minor.

Shirt loses shape after washing

Ensure you are following the cold wash and tumble dry low instructions precisely. Avoid over-drying, which can cause stretching or shrinking. Lay flat to dry if concerned about shape retention.

Color fading

Wash with similar colors in cold water. Using a mild detergent and avoiding direct sunlight during drying can help preserve the color.
