How to wash a knitted polo shirt
Key Takeaways
- Wash a knitted polo shirt by hand in cool water, or on a gentle machine cycle at 30°C
- Never tumble dry it, since heat causes shrinkage and a stretched collar
- Dry flat rather than on a hanger, so the shoulders and neckline keep their shape
- Happy Gentleman's knitted polo shirts are a cotton-acrylic blend, priced from $69 to $106 AUD
Wash a knitted polo shirt by hand in cool water, or on a gentle machine cycle at 30°C, and lay it flat to dry. Happy Gentleman's knitted polo shirts are a cotton-acrylic blend, and this fibre mix holds its shape best when it avoids high heat and the tumble dryer.
For the full step-by-step routine, including preparation, ironing, and how to handle other fabrics like cotton pique or wool, see the complete washing guide.
Can you machine wash a knitted polo shirt?
Yes, but hand washing is gentler on a cotton-acrylic knit. If you do machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag, a gentle or delicate cycle, and cold water.
Can you tumble dry a knitted polo shirt?
No, tumble drying is the main cause of shrinkage in a knitted polo shirt. Dry it flat on a towel instead, and reshape it while still damp.
