FAQs
What does "Custom Slim Fit" mean?
Custom Slim Fit is a tailored silhouette that is slimmer than the Classic Fit but slightly more relaxed than the Slim Fit. It is fitted through the body and waist, with sleeves that fit over the biceps.
What are the buttons made of?
The buttons are made of genuine mother-of-pearl, each featuring the "Ralph Lauren" logo.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
The product description provides measurements for size M: 69.9 cm body length (front and back), 44.5 cm shoulder, and 104.1 cm chest. It's recommended to measure a similar garment you own and compare these dimensions.
Can this polo shirt be worn for formal occasions?
This polo shirt is best suited for smart-casual occasions. While versatile, it is not typically appropriate for formal events.
What is the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) mass balance system?
The mass balance system is a way to manage and track sustainable commodities. It allows for the mixing of sustainably sourced cotton with conventional cotton throughout the supply chain. While supporting BCI's mission, the product may not contain exclusively Better Cotton. You can learn more at bettercotton.org/massbalance.
How should I care for the stretch elastane in the fabric?
To preserve the stretch, avoid high heat in washing and drying. Gentle cycles and cold water are recommended. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can degrade elastane over time.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat. For future washes, consider air drying to minimize shrinkage.
Embroidery is damaged or peeling
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidery. If damage has occurred, cease ironing and consider professional garment repair if severe.
Buttons are loose
Carefully hand-sew the buttons back on using a strong thread. If a button is lost, contact Polo Ralph Lauren customer service for potential replacement options for genuine mother-of-pearl buttons.
Color transfer on lighter garments
Wash white garments separately from colors, especially for the first few washes, even if the color is listed as stable.
