FAQs

Is this pullover suitable for very cold winter days?

It serves as an excellent mid-layer. While it provides significant warmth, it should be combined with a waterproof or windproof outer jacket for extreme winter conditions.

Does the oversized fit mean I should size down?

If you prefer a closer, more traditional fit, you may consider sizing down. However, the design is intended to be loose and comfortable for layering.

Can I tumble dry the Imperial Pile Zip Pullover?

It is recommended to hang-dry to preserve the material's texture. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting available.

Is the fabric prone to shedding?

As with most high-pile fleeces, you may notice some minimal shedding when the garment is new. This typically decreases after the first wash.

Does this item have any pockets?

No, this specific model is designed with a sleek, minimalist silhouette that does not include external or internal pockets.

What is the best way to remove pills from the fleece?

Use a specialized fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove any lint or pilling that accumulates over time.

Troubleshooting

Pile material looks matted or flat after washing

Once dry, gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibers and restore its fluffy texture.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, lightly apply a small amount of graphite or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features a plush pile construction, it is important to follow proper care guidelines to maintain its loft and texture. Always wash the pullover in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction against the drum of the washer. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and decrease the moisture-wicking and heat-retaining properties of the fleece. For the best longevity, hang-dry the garment rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, which can shrink or mat the pile. Regarding compatibility, this pullover works best when paired with a fitted technical base layer to manage moisture and a waterproof outer shell if expecting heavy rain or snow.
