Based on user feedback, the standard Polo line may experience collar stretching and shrinkage after washing, so cold water washing and flat drying are recommended; sizing may run small, and some buyers advise ordering a size up.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-designer/tops/t-shirts-sweatshirts/logo-t-shirt--9659-29725209?colourId=0","brand":"Polo Ralph Lauren","condition":"new","product_category":"women designer > tops > t shirts sweatshirts","material":"Main material: 100% cotton","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/9659/29725209/10/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/9659/29725209/10/A2_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702997194-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/9659/29725209/10/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Logo T-shirt product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio-style product shot showing the model from mid-face to upper thighs against a plain light background with even, soft lighting.","observations":[{"key":"Framing and crop","kind":"feature","value":"Image cropped from just below the model nose to the upper thighs, centered on the torso and T-shirt front.","regions":[{"x":0.05,"y":0,"width":0.9,"height":0.95,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Background and lighting","kind":"feature","value":"Smooth light gray background with even, diffuse lighting and soft shadows, no visible props.","regions":[{"x":0,"y":0,"width":1,"height":1,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Visible additional garment","kind":"feature","value":"Dark blue denim jeans visible at the lower frame and partially covering hips and upper thighs.","regions":[{"x":0.18,"y":0.78,"width":0.64,"height":0.2,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"colors":[{"name":"white","part":"shirt body","regions":[{"x":0.12,"y":0.18,"width":0.76,"height":0.6,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Solid clean white cotton knit with matte finish across torso and sleeves.","sampled_hex":"#C6C5CA","estimated_hex":"#FFFFFF"},{"name":"navy blue","part":"embroidered logo","regions":[{"x":0.61,"y":0.18,"width":0.05,"height":0.075,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Solid dark navy embroidered motif with matte thread texture.","estimated_hex":"#0B2A57"}],"product":{"summary":"Front view of a white short-sleeve crewneck T-shirt with a small dark embroidered logo on the left chest, worn by a model showing torso and upper hips.","observations":[{"key":"Neckline","kind":"feature","value":"Close-fitting ribbed crew neckline with visible knit rib texture at the collar.","regions":[{"x":0.34,"y":0.09,"width":0.32,"height":0.12,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Chest logo","kind":"feature","value":"Small dark navy embroidered polo player motif positioned on the left chest area above the bust.","regions":[{"x":0.61,"y":0.18,"width":0.05,"height":0.075,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Sleeve shape","kind":"feature","value":"Short sleeves with straight hem finishing around upper arm, loose relaxed fit at sleeve opening.","regions":[{"x":0.06,"y":0.18,"width":0.28,"height":0.18,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.66,"y":0.18,"width":0.28,"height":0.18,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Body fit and hem","kind":"feature","value":"Boxy, relaxed torso with straight stitched bottom hem that falls to model hip;
