FAQs

What does 'Custom Slim Fit' mean?

Custom Slim Fit is a modern cut that is trimmer than a Classic Fit but offers more room than a traditional Slim Fit. It is tailored through the body and sleeves for a contemporary silhouette.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product description for specific measurements (e.g., chest, shoulder, body length) for a size medium. It is recommended to measure a similar garment you own and compare it to these specifications for the best fit.

Can this polo be worn for sports?

While made of breathable cotton, the Custom Slim Fit is best suited for casual or smart-casual wear. The tennis tail offers some functionality for light activity, but it is primarily a lifestyle garment.

What is the 'tennis tail' feature?

The tennis tail is an extended back hem designed to help keep the shirt tucked in, a traditional feature found in polo shirts originally worn for sports.

How should I care for the embroidered pony?

To protect the embroidery, avoid direct high heat when ironing. It is best to iron the garment inside out or use a pressing cloth over the embroidered area.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

The 100% cotton mesh fabric is breathable and comfortable for warm weather. However, the slim fit might feel warmer than a looser fit for some individuals.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you are using cold water and a low heat setting for tumble drying. Avoid high heat, which can cause shrinkage in 100% cotton garments.

Collar is not maintaining its shape.

Ensure the collar is laid flat when drying. Avoid excessive twisting or wringing. Ironing the collar on a low setting can help restore its shape.

Embroidery appears damaged or is peeling.

Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered area. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the embroidery.

Color fading after a few washes.

Wash the shirt inside out with similar colors. Use a detergent that is safe for colored fabrics and avoid bleach.
