Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the drawcords on the hood for a more secure fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the product's regular fit type.

Fabric pilling after several washes.

Follow the recommended washing instructions (cold wash, tumble dry low). Washing inside out can also help minimize pilling. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.

Drawcords are difficult to adjust.
