Troubleshooting

Pilling on wool/cashmere fabric

Gentle pilling is normal for wool and cashmere. Use a fabric shaver specifically designed for delicate woolens to carefully remove pills. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Jacket loses shape

Ensure the jacket is stored properly on a suitable hanger. Professional dry cleaning helps maintain the garment's original structure. Avoid overstuffing closets.

Minor stains on fabric

For best results, take the jacket to a professional cleaner experienced with wool and cashmere garments. Attempting to spot clean may damage the fibers or spread the stain.
