Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop closure not sticking firmly
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces by brushing away any lint or debris. Ensure both sides are properly aligned when closing.
Shirt feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the button closure on the waist and the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs for a more tailored fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consult the sizing chart and consider exchanging for a different size.
