FAQs

What is 'borg fabric'?

Borg fabric is a type of fleece known for its soft, curly, and plush texture, resembling sheep's wool. It is highly effective at trapping air for warmth and provides a cosy feel.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?

The Frankie Borg Half Zip Fleece is designed for cosy warmth in mild to cool conditions and is excellent as a layering piece under a heavier coat for colder weather. It's ideal for 'laid-back adventures' rather than extreme cold as a standalone outer layer.

Are the pockets secure for valuables?

Yes, the fleece features zipped pockets, which are designed to keep your essentials secure while you're on the move.

Can I machine wash this fleece?

> Info needed: While most fleece is machine washable, specific instructions can vary. Always check the care label inside your garment for the recommended washing temperature, cycle, and drying method to ensure its longevity and maintain its texture.

What kind of activities is this fleece best for?

It is perfect for casual everyday wear, light outdoor activities like walking, hiking on mild days, gardening, or simply relaxing at home. Its easy layering makes it versatile for various settings.

Does it have a hood?

No, this is a half-zip fleece with a funnel neck, not a hood.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or has pilled after washing.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes reduce absorbency and affect fleece texture. > Info needed: Refer to the specific care label for precise washing instructions.

Zip is sticking or difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zip. If the zip is still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can act as a lubricant.

Fleece doesn't seem as warm as expected.

Ensure it's being worn in appropriate conditions; this fleece is best for mild to cool weather or as a layering piece. Check if the fabric has been compressed or if there's any damage. Proper care according to the label will help maintain its insulating properties. > Info needed: Confirm if washing/drying instructions were strictly followed, as improper care can affect fleece performance.

Uneven or uncomfortable fit around the cuffs/hem.

The stretch binding is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight or loose, ensure you have the correct size. If it's a new garment, the binding may relax slightly with wear.
