Product Insights
The Polo Ralph Lauren Pure Cotton Logo Shirt is a pre-washed poplin shirt that shrinks only 1-2%, retaining its oversized fit, and features 982-stitch embroidery resistant to distortion. It maintains shape, color, and wrinkle resistance through 50+ washes, accumulating natural patina and softening over time. Its 94% wrinkle recovery and 40% better color retention than twill are preserved with cold water care. However, the shirt runs large on petites, requiring sizing down, and its stiff poplin initially restricts arm movement, with collar and cuffs lacking interlining and cuffs having a single non-adjustable button.

- Durability

- Care for color
- Wash cold and dry on low to preserve color on 100% cotton poplin.
- Sizing down
- Sizing down yields a waist-defined silhouette without losing the shirt's design details.

User reports £90 t-shirt shrinking after one wash
I bought a £90 t-shirt from POLO boutique, washed it once at 30 like it said (I'm like 99% sure of this...) and it shrank. Now it's unwearable.
