Troubleshooting
Down loft appears flattened after washing
Place the waistcoat in a dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. The tumbling action with the balls will help to break up any clumps and restore the loft of the down insulation.
Noticeable odor after storage
Air out the waistcoat in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, consider a gentle wash following the care instructions, ensuring it is completely dry before storing again.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a dry lubricant stick to the zipper teeth if it continues to stick.
