FAQs

Is this polo shirt true to size?

Lyle and Scott generally offers consistent sizing. For the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to refer to the brand's official size chart and compare it with your body measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can I machine wash this cotton polo shirt?

Yes, it is generally safe to machine wash. Use a cool or lukewarm water setting (around 30-40°C), a gentle cycle, and wash with similar colors. Always check the garment's care label for precise instructions.

Does the fabric wrinkle easily?

Being 100% cotton, the fabric can wrinkle. To minimize this, remove it promptly from the dryer or washing machine, and iron while slightly damp on a medium heat setting.

Is this suitable for all seasons?

The long-sleeve design makes it ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, and cooler summer evenings. It can also be layered for warmth in winter. The breathable cotton provides comfort across various temperatures.

How should I store this polo shirt?

To maintain its shape and prevent creases, store the polo shirt either neatly folded in a drawer or hung on a quality padded hanger. Ensure it's clean and dry before storage.

What kind of occasions is this polo shirt best for?

This polo shirt is highly versatile. It's perfect for everyday casual wear, smart-casual events, informal gatherings, or even as a comfortable option for home. Its classic design allows it to be dressed up or down effortlessly.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Cotton can be prone to shrinking if exposed to high heat. Always wash in cool water and air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. If it has already shrunk, gently stretch it while damp and allow it to air dry.

Color seems to be fading after a few washes.

To preserve color, wash inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying and excessive use of bleach or harsh stain removers.

Fabric feels stiff or rough after drying.

This can happen with cotton, especially if air-dried without agitation. Try adding a fabric softener to your wash cycle. If tumble drying, use dryer balls or a low heat setting and remove promptly to avoid over-drying.

  • Washing:
  1. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
  2. Generally, wash in cool or lukewarm water (30-40°C / 86-104°F) on a gentle cycle.
  3. Wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
  4. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying:
  1. Air dry flat or hang dry to prevent stretching or shrinking.
  2. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting and remove while slightly damp to minimize wrinkles and shrinkage.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can cause fading.
  • Ironing:
  1. Iron on a medium heat setting while the shirt is slightly damp for best results.

  3. Do not iron directly over any embroidered logos.
