Troubleshooting

Fabric appears dull or less smooth after washing.

Ensure you are using a very mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Reshape and dry flat as instructed. Consider a professional dry clean if issues persist.

Cape does not drape as expected.

Verify the size. Ensure the self-ties are adjusted correctly. Wool and silk blends can have a natural drape that may vary slightly from synthetic materials.

Pilling observed on the fabric surface.

This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers over time. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver designed for wool or cashmere. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.
