FAQs
What is piqu cotton?
Piqu cotton is a type of knit fabric characterized by its textured, raised pattern, often resembling a waffle or honeycomb. It's known for its breathability and durability, making it a popular choice for polo shirts.
Is this polo shirt suitable for hot weather?
While the 100% cotton is breathable, the long sleeves might make it warmer than a short-sleeved polo. It is best suited for mild to cool weather or air-conditioned environments.
How does the regular fit compare to other fits?
A regular fit is a standard fit that is neither too tight nor too loose. It provides a comfortable silhouette that allows for ease of movement without appearing baggy.
Can I wear this to a formal event?
The Luca Polo is considered smart-casual. It is suitable for less formal business settings or gatherings but typically not for highly formal events which may require a dress shirt.
What other sizes and colors are available?
This guide specifically covers the Navy - S variant. Please refer to the product listing for other available sizes (e.g., M, L, XL, XXL) and colors.
Does the collar stay stiff or does it fold over easily?
The ribbed collar is designed to hold its shape and typically stays neatly in place, providing a polished look.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and using the tumble dry low or lay flat to dry method. Avoid high heat drying.
Color fading
Wash inside out with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Pilling or fuzziness
While piqu cotton is durable, excessive friction can cause pilling. Wash gently and avoid abrasive materials in the wash cycle. Consider a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
