Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking a classic, comfortable, and versatile long-sleeve shirt. The key benefit is its timeless style and durable 100% cotton construction, suitable for both casual and semi-formal occasions. A potential caveat to consider is that the 'Classic Fit' is described as roomier, which may not suit those preferring a slimmer silhouette. This shirt features a button-down point collar, buttoned placket, buttoned barrel cuffs, and a split back yoke with a box pleat for enhanced comfort and mobility. The signature embroidered Pony adds a distinct brand touch.

FAQs
What does 'Classic Fit' mean for this shirt?
'Classic Fit' indicates our roomiest silhouette, cut with a lower armhole and a fuller sleeve compared to slimmer fits, prioritizing comfort and ease of movement.
What is the back body length and sleeve length for size M?
A size medium has a 31½" back body length and a 34½" sleeve length. The sleeve length is measured from the center back of the neck.
Can this shirt be worn for business meetings?
While suitable for business-casual environments, its classic fit and button-down collar make it ideal when paired with a blazer or sport coat for a more formal business-casual look. It may not be formal enough for strict business attire.
How do I care for the embroidered Pony?
To care for the embroidered Pony, avoid direct ironing on the design. It's best to wash and dry the shirt according to the care instructions and iron around the embroidery.
Is this shirt suitable for hot weather?
The 100% cotton fabric is breathable, making it suitable for warm weather. However, the long sleeves offer protection and can be rolled up for added comfort if needed.
What type of collar does this shirt have?
This shirt features a button-down point collar, a classic style that stays in place and looks neat whether buttoned to the top or not.
What is the sleeve cuff style?
The sleeves are long with buttoned barrel cuffs, which are standard, straight cuffs that fasten with a single button.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.
Ensure the shirt is removed from the dryer promptly or opt for line drying. Iron on a warm setting, focusing on the collar, cuffs, and placket. Avoid over-drying in the machine.
Embroidery appears damaged.
Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered Pony. If damage occurs, consult a professional clothing repair service. Ensure the shirt is turned inside out for ironing if necessary.
Color fading.
Wash in cold water with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Consider washing inside out to protect the fabric's color.
Shirt feels stiff after washing.
Fabric softener can be used sparingly during the wash cycle, though 100% cotton typically softens with wear. Ensure the shirt is not over-dried in the machine, as this can make cotton stiff.
