Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie Quarter Zip Fleece Top is designed for adult women seeking a practical and comfortable layer for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the warm, soft-touch microfleece made with a blend of recycled materials, offering warmth without bulk. A potential consideration is that it's a pull-over style, which may not be preferred by everyone. The fleece features a plain design, long raglan sleeves, a standing collar, and three zipped pockets for secure storage.

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to pull the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive surfaces. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
