Troubleshooting
Vest feels stiff initially
Denim products, especially 14oz, can feel stiff at first. Wear the vest frequently to help break in the fabric naturally. Washing according to care instructions can also help soften the material.
Color fading unevenly
This is often an intentional part of the 'Serene Shade' wash for an authentic look. To minimize further uneven fading, always wash inside out in cold water and avoid harsh detergents.
Raw edges fraying excessively
Some fraying is expected with raw edges. If it becomes excessive, consider a cold rinse cycle with minimal agitation. For significant fraying beyond preference, professional tailoring might be an option.
