Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Avoid high heat in the dryer. Consider using a fabric softener sparingly on the next wash, or simply air dry to preserve the plush texture.

Zipper on chest pocket is stiff

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax if needed.

Garment seems to attract a lot of lint

Wash with similar fabrics and use a lint roller on the garment after drying.

Snaps are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the fabric is flat around the snaps before fastening. If they remain tight, they may loosen slightly with repeated use.
