FAQs

What material is the Polo Bear itself made from?

The Polo Bear design is intarsia-knitted and embroidered using a combination of 80% cotton and 20% linen yarns, while the main body of the sweater is 100% cotton.

How should I determine my size?

The sweater has a loose fit. Refer to the product description which notes that size M is 58cm in length and 57cm in sleeve length. Sleeve length varies by 1.27 cm between sizes. It is recommended to compare these measurements with a similar garment you own.

Can this sweater be machine washed?

No, the care instructions specify hand wash or dry clean only. Machine washing may damage the fibres and the intricate design.

What does 'intarsia-knitted' mean?

Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterned designs by knitting different coloured yarns together in blocks, resulting in a seamless, integrated pattern like the Polo Bear.

Is the "RL" embroidery on the hem a large logo?

The "RL" embroidery is described as being on the left hem, suggesting it is a subtle branding detail rather than a large, prominent logo.

What is the model wearing in the product image?

The model is 178 cm tall and wears a size small.

Troubleshooting

Sweater feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Reshape the sweater while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid harsh detergents or machine drying.

Polo Bear embroidery is snagged or pulled

Gently try to pull the snagged thread back through to the underside of the fabric if possible. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary. Avoid catching the embroidery on rough surfaces.

Sweater loses its shape

Always lay the sweater flat to dry after washing. Avoid hanging it while wet, as the weight of the water can stretch the fibres. Store folded rather than on a hanger.
