Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the fleece fibers. Wash with like colors and tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.
Excessive pilling on fleece
Pilling is a natural occurrence with high pile fleece. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid excessive abrasion. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills.
Item feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements. Consider the intended use; if layering, a slightly looser fit may be preferable. This specific item is an XS, intended for smaller frames.
