FAQs

What does 'pique cotton' mean?

Pique cotton refers to a knitting style that creates a textured, waffle-like surface on the fabric. This weave makes the material more breathable, durable, and absorbent than plain cotton, which is why it's popular for polo shirts.

Is this polo shirt suitable for all seasons?

Yes, due to its breathable 100% cotton construction, it is suitable for most seasons. It's comfortable in warmer weather and can be layered under sweaters or jackets for cooler days.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This polo shirt is sized by age (e.g., '3-4' for 3-4 years old). It's designed with a regular fit to accommodate growth. If your child is between sizes or you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Always check the brand's specific size chart if available.

Can this shirt be machine washed?

Yes, it can be machine washed. For best results and to maintain quality, machine wash cold (up to 30°C/86°F) with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.

Are the buttons real mother of pearl?

Yes, the product description states that the polo shirt is finished with mother of pearl buttons, adding a touch of premium quality.

Is the crocodile logo stitched or printed?

The iconic Lacoste crocodile logo is authentically embroidered on the chest, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Always wash in cold water (30°C/86°F max) and avoid high heat during drying. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on the lowest setting. If shrinkage has occurred, gently stretch the damp shirt back to its original shape.

Fabric looks wrinkled or creased after washing.

Remove the shirt from the dryer promptly. For best results, lay flat to dry or hang. If wrinkles persist, iron at a medium temperature while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a steam iron, avoiding the embroidered logo.

Color seems to be fading.

Wash with similar colors in cold water and avoid direct prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight when drying. Ensure you are using a color-safe detergent and not an excessive amount.

Embroidered logo is looking dull or damaged.

Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered logo. When washing, turn the shirt inside out to protect the embroidery from friction.
