FAQs

What material is the shirt made of?

The shirt is made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, featuring a poplin weave.

What is the key benefit of the poplin weave?

The poplin weave provides a smooth, crisp finish that is both durable and has a professional appearance.

How should I care for this shirt to make it easy-care?

The shirt is designed for easy care. Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on a medium setting, preferably while slightly damp.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

While the cotton blend offers some breathability, the polyester content might make it less breathable than 100% cotton shirts in extremely hot and humid conditions. It is best suited for temperate or air-conditioned environments.

What kind of collar does the shirt have?

The shirt features a stiffened turn-down collar, designed to maintain a sharp shape.

Can I wear this shirt for casual events?

This is primarily a formal shirt due to its design and stiffened collar. While it can be dressed down slightly, it is best suited for formal or business-professional occasions.

What are the washing temperature recommendations?

The recommended maximum washing temperature is 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and not overloading the washing machine. Iron the shirt while slightly damp on a medium heat setting. Consider using a fabric conditioner designed for polyester blends.

Color fades after multiple washes.

Wash the shirt inside out in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature of 40°C (104°F).

Collar loses its stiffness.

Ensure the collar is not being over-ironed or exposed to excessive heat. Follow the ironing instructions carefully. Avoid using a very hot iron directly on the collar.
