FAQs

What makes this polo shirt 'knitted'?

The 'knitted' aspect refers to the method of fabric construction. Instead of being woven, the yarn is looped together, creating a more flexible, breathable, and textured fabric, often described as a full cardigan construction in this case.

Is the relaxed fit suitable for all body types?

The relaxed fit is designed for comfort and a natural drape. While it suits many, individuals preferring a more form-fitting garment might find it runs large. Consider sizing down if you prefer a closer fit.

How does 100% organic cotton differ from regular cotton?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs, making it more environmentally friendly. It is often softer and more breathable than conventional cotton.

What does 'full cardigan construction' mean?

Full cardigan construction refers to a method of knitting where the entire garment is made from a single piece of knitted fabric, often resulting in a more substantial feel and fewer seams compared to traditional cut-and-sew methods.

Can this polo shirt be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the 100% organic cotton and knitted construction provide breathability, making it suitable for warmer days. However, the relaxed fit and knit texture may feel warmer than a thin, woven polo.

What occasions is this polo shirt best suited for?

It is ideal for smart-casual occasions, such as weekend outings, casual dining, or relaxed social gatherings. It can also be dressed up slightly with layering for more semi-formal events.

Troubleshooting

Shirt loses shape after washing

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and drying flat. Avoid high heat and tumble drying.

Fabric feels rough or less soft

Check washing detergent for harsh chemicals. Use a mild detergent specifically for cotton. Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly.

Color appears faded

Wash inside out in cold water to preserve color. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Farah Thornley Knitted Polo Shirt:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: It is recommended to dry the shirt flat to maintain its shape. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the organic cotton fibers and affect the knit.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. It is best to iron while the garment is slightly damp or use a steam iron to remove wrinkles effectively.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching or distortion.
