Troubleshooting
Pilling on wool/cashmere fabric
Gentle pilling is natural with wool and cashmere. Use a fabric comb or sweater shaver carefully to remove small pills. Avoid excessive friction.
Jacket losing shape
Ensure the jacket is stored properly on a suitable hanger. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe. Professional dry cleaning helps maintain shape.
Snaps not fastening securely
Check if there is any obstruction in the snaps. Ensure the fabric around the snaps is not damaged. If issues persist, consult a tailor.
