FAQs
What does 'Custom Slim Fit' mean?
Custom Slim Fit is a tailored silhouette that is slimmer than a Classic Fit but slightly more relaxed than a standard Slim Fit. It is designed to be trim through the body and sleeves while allowing for comfortable movement.
How do I know if this fit is right for me?
This fit is ideal if you prefer a modern, flattering shape that isn't too tight. If you have a more athletic build or prefer a looser fit, consider checking the measurements against the Classic Fit options.
Is this shirt suitable for all seasons?
The 100% cotton mesh fabric makes it breathable and comfortable for warmer weather. It can also be layered under jackets or sweaters for cooler temperatures, making it a versatile three-season garment.
How should I care for the embroidered Pony logo?
To preserve the embroidery, avoid direct ironing on the logo. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting.
Can this polo shirt be worn for business casual?
Yes, this polo shirt is excellent for business casual attire. Pair it with tailored trousers or chinos and a blazer for a polished look.
What is a 'tennis tail'?
A tennis tail is a design feature where the back hem of the shirt is slightly longer than the front. This helps keep the shirt tucked in neatly, especially during activity, and prevents it from riding up.
What is the difference between this mesh polo and a pique polo?
Mesh polos typically have a smoother, lighter weave with small perforations for breathability, while pique polos have a textured, waffle-like knit. Both are breathable, but mesh often feels lighter.
Troubleshooting
Shirt appears too tight or loose
Refer to the sizing chart and consider the Custom Slim Fit. If it's still not right, explore other available sizes in the same style or consider a different fit from Polo Ralph Lauren.
Color fading after washing
Ensure you are washing with like colors in cold water and using non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. Avoid excessive detergent.

Ensure proper washing and drying. Avoid high heat in the dryer. Ironing the collar on a low setting can help restore its shape.
