FAQs

What does 'Custom Slim' fit mean?

It refers to a tailored, closer-to-the-body cut that is more streamlined than a traditional or classic fit polo.

Can I put this shirt in the dryer?

It is recommended to air dry or use a low-heat setting to prevent potential shrinkage and protect the fabric.

Is the material stretchy?

Because it is 100% cotton, it does not have the synthetic stretch of performance fabrics, but the mesh weave provides natural flexibility.

What is the benefit of the tennis tail?

The longer back hem is designed to keep the shirt securely tucked into your bottoms during movement.

Does the logo fade over time?

The signature pony is embroidered with quality thread, meaning it is resistant to fading, but avoid aggressive scrubbing directly on the embroidery.

Troubleshooting

Collar losing shape

Avoid high-heat drying, which can warp fibers; reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.

Fit feels too restrictive

The Custom Slim fit is intentional; if it feels uncomfortable, consider sizing up or choosing a Regular fit style.

Fabric shrinkage

Always wash in cold water and avoid the hot cycle on your dryer.

  • Ribbing maintains structure over time
  • Iconic brand design with subtle detailing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made of 100% cotton, proper maintenance is essential to longevity. Always check the care label inside the garment before washing. It is generally recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading. To maintain the integrity of the rib-knit collar and cuffs, avoid using harsh bleaches. Laying the shirt flat to dry or using a low-heat tumble dry setting will help minimize shrinkage. Iron on a low setting if necessary to keep the collar crisp.
