FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece?

The Weird Fish Gene 1/4 Zip Microfleece is made from 100% Polyester.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

It provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent for layering. For extremely cold conditions, it would need to be paired with a warmer insulating layer and a windproof outer shell.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. This listing is for size Medium (M).

Can this fleece be worn by women?

While designed for men, women may find it suitable depending on their preferred fit and sizing. It's recommended to check the specific measurements.

How should I wash the microfleece?

It is machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.

Does the colour bleed during washing?

It's advisable to wash with similar colours for the first few washes to minimize any potential color transfer.

What is the purpose of the contrast colour neckline?

The contrast colour neckline is a design element that adds a visual point of interest and differentiates it from a solid-colour fleece.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a low heat setting for drying. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if it persists.

Embroidery is fraying.

Trim any loose threads carefully with small scissors. If the fraying is significant, consider reinforcing the area from the inside if possible, or avoid excessive abrasion on the logo.
