FAQs

What material is this polo shirt made from?

It is made from 100% soft and breathable cotton, ensuring comfort for all-day wear.

How should I wash this polo shirt?

Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry to best maintain its shape and size. Avoid using bleach.

Is this polo shirt true to size?

Lyle & Scott typically offers a standard fit. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements, but generally, it runs true to size. This specific product is 'Size 42'.

Can I wear this for smart casual occasions?

Absolutely. Its classic design and ribbed cuffs provide a polished look that is perfect for smart-casual settings, especially when paired with tailored trousers or under a blazer.

Will this shirt shrink after washing?

As it is 100% cotton, there is a possibility of minor shrinkage if washed or dried incorrectly. To minimize this, always follow the care instructions: wash cold and tumble dry low or air dry.

What season is this long sleeve polo suitable for?

The long sleeves and breathable cotton make it versatile for most seasons. It's ideal for cooler spring/autumn days, as a layering piece in winter, or as a comfortable top on milder summer evenings.

How do I prevent the color from fading?

To preserve the black color, wash inside out with cold water using a color-safe detergent. Avoid excessive sun exposure when drying.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels tighter after washing.

Cotton garments can shrink if washed or dried at high temperatures. Always wash cold and tumble dry low or air dry. Gently stretch while damp if minor shrinkage occurs.

Fabric appears wrinkled.

This 100% cotton polo may wrinkle. Remove from dryer promptly, or iron on a low setting while slightly damp. For best results, hang immediately after drying.

Color seems to be fading.

Use color-safe detergents and wash with similar dark colors in cold water. Wash inside out to protect the outer surface. Avoid direct, prolonged sun exposure during drying.

Fabric is pilling (small balls of fiber).

Pilling can occur from friction during wear or washing. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove pills. Washing inside out can help reduce abrasion.
