Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight or restrictive after washing.
This may indicate shrinkage. For future washes, ensure you are using the recommended cold water hand wash method and laying flat to dry. Avoid heat.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is natural with wool blends. You can gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
