The Design Heritage

The Knights of Columbus began with Father Michael J. McGivney at St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut, back in 1882. His goal was simple: provide financial security for families in need. This polo honors that history with colors reflecting our traditional values. Whether you are helping with a pancake breakfast or preparing for a degree ceremony, the raglan-sleeve construction gives you the freedom to move without restriction. It is reliable gear for those who stay dedicated to the principles of the Order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the fabric shrink after the first wash?

No, the performance polyester blend is pre-shrunk. It is engineered to maintain its original dimensions even after repeated machine drying.

Is this Knights of Columbus apparel suitable for heavy daily use?

Yes, we use high-density industrial thread for the emblem. This ensures the embroidery resists fraying and color bleeding, even under frequent laundering.

How should I treat the polo to keep the moisture-wicking performance active?

Avoid liquid fabric softeners and bleach. These chemicals coat the fibers and block the capillary action required for effective moisture transport.

What is the best way to remove stains without damaging the fabric?

Spot treat using a mild, non-bleach detergent. Gently dab the area with a soft cloth; do not scrub vigorously to protect the synthetic weave.
