FAQs

Is this polo shirt true to size?

Yes, it is designed with a regular fit, meaning it follows standard sizing conventions for a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.

Can I machine wash this shirt?

Yes, you can machine wash this garment, but always refer to the specific care label on the inside for exact temperature settings.

What does 'pique' cotton mean?

Pique is a type of weaving style that creates a subtle, raised texture on the fabric, which increases durability and breathability.

Does the logo fade after multiple washes?

The logo is designed for durability; however, turning the shirt inside out before washing can help protect it from friction.

Is this suitable for formal events?

While it is a smart-casual staple, it is generally better suited for social and semi-casual occasions rather than formal black-tie events.

Troubleshooting

Shirt fabric feels stiff after washing

Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle and ensure you are not overloading the washing machine.

Collar has lost its crisp shape

Use a light starch spray before ironing the collar, and ensure it is stored flat or hung properly to avoid folding during storage.

Visible wrinkles upon wearing

Lightly mist with water and smooth by hand, or use a handheld garment steamer for a quick refresh.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Breathable cotton construction suitable for summer
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-smart settings
  • Comfortable regular fit allows for unrestricted movement
  • Durable construction with high-quality ribbed finishes

Cons

  • Cotton material may be prone to wrinkling if not cared for properly
  • Requires adherence to label instructions to prevent shrinkage
  • Regular fit may feel too loose for those preferring a slim, tailored silhouette

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Lyle & Scott polo maintains its quality, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Always check the specific care label attached to your garment. Generally, wash in cool water with similar colors to prevent fading.
  • Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the cotton fibers. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage.
  • Ironing: Use a medium heat setting. Iron while slightly damp or use a steam iron to remove wrinkles effectively from the collar and placket.
  • Storage: Store folded or hung on a contoured hanger to preserve the shape of the ribbed cuffs and collar.
