FAQs

What is the difference between Custom Slim and Regular fit?

Custom Slim is a tailored, more form-fitting cut through the chest and waist, while the Regular fit offers a looser, more traditional silhouette.

Can this shirt be machine washed?

Yes, it is machine washable, but cold water and gentle cycles are recommended to maintain fabric quality.

Does the polo shrink after washing?

Being 100% cotton, some minor shrinkage can occur if subjected to high heat in a dryer; air drying is the best way to prevent this.

Is the logo embroidered or printed?

The iconic pony logo is high-quality embroidery, ensuring it stays intact and looks professional over time.

What does the tennis tail do?

The tennis tail is a longer back hem that keeps the shirt tucked in when you are reaching, bending, or sitting.

Troubleshooting

Collar losing its stiffness

Avoid high-heat ironing directly on the ribs; use a steam press or starch lightly to restore structure.

Fabric appearing faded

Wash the shirt inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when air drying to protect the deep black color.

Fit feels too restrictive

Ensure you are using the correct size for your build; if the Custom Slim fit is too snug, transition to a Regular Fit variant for more room in the torso.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, breathable cotton fabric
  • Tailored aesthetic suitable for multiple occasions
  • Maintains shape well thanks to ribbed components
  • Iconic branding with classic heritage appeal
  • Versatile range of colorways available

Cons

  • Slim fit may not suit those who prefer loose clothing
  • Requires proper care to maintain fabric softness
  • Limited to specific aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this is a premium cotton garment, proper maintenance is vital for longevity. Always check the internal care label for specific wash temperatures, but generally, washing in cold water with similar colors is recommended to preserve the 'Polo Black' pigment. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink cotton fibers and accelerate wear on the ribbed cuffs. Instead, reshape the shirt while damp and allow it to air dry whenever possible. Regarding compatibility, the Custom Slim fit runs true to size for a tailored look; if you prefer a looser fit, you may need to consider sizing up or opting for the brand's 'Regular Fit' counterparts.
