Essential Care for Your Filo di Scozia Piqué & Jacquard Polos
Guides
By: Eton • 4 minCrafted from Filo di Scozia—an exceptional double-mercerised Egyptian cotton—our piqué and jacquard polos combine luxurious comfort with elevated style. The fabric’s natural sheen, smooth feel, and long-lasting color make these polos a refined choice for the modern wardrobe. With the right care, they’ll remain as polished and resilient as the day you first wore them.
How to Wash
Handle with care: Unbutton and turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the surface and detailing—especially important for jacquard knits, which feature more intricate textures.
Low and slow: Machine wash at 20 °C (68 °F) on a gentle or hand-wash cycle. Use a mild detergent free from bleach, enzymes, and optical brighteners to preserve the fabric’s luster and softness.
How to Dry
Air only: Avoid tumble drying. Gently reshape the polo and lay flat to dry, or hang on a padded hanger in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause color fading, especially on mercerised cotton.
Preserve the sheen: For best results, avoid wringing or twisting the garment, which can distort the knit and dull the surface.
Ironing or Steaming
Low heat, high polish: Iron inside-out on the lowest setting while the garment is still slightly damp. For jacquard knits, use extra care to avoid flattening the pattern—steaming is often the best option.
Steam to refresh: A steamer helps remove wrinkles without compromising the fabric’s reflective surface. Ideal for both piqué and jacquard.
Storing Your Polo Shirts
Store your polos in a cool, dry space. Use wide, padded hangers to retain their shape, or fold neatly for shelf storage. For jacquard styles, avoid pressure points that might distort the pattern.
Pro Tips
Wash inside out to protect the mercerised finish from friction and wear.
Don’t overload the machine—give your garments space to move gently.
Avoid rough fabrics like towels or denim in the same wash to prevent pilling or abrasion.
Refresh between wears with a handheld steamer to reduce the need for frequent washing.
