FAQs
What age group is this fleece suitable for?
This fleece is specifically designed for kids, with sizes available for various age ranges, including the 5-6 years option.
How warm is this fleece?
The fleece provides a good level of warmth for everyday activities and can serve as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For very cold weather, additional layers or a heavier outer jacket would be recommended.
Can this fleece be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Junior Frankie fleece is designed as unisex and suitable for both boys and girls.
Is the fleece machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent.
What does 'anti-pill' mean?
An anti-pill finish means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment maintain a smoother appearance over time and through washes.
How should I dry the fleece?
It is best to air dry the fleece by hanging it up, or you can use a tumble dryer on a very low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from Symmetry fleece, which is typically a polyester-based material known for its softness and insulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Ensure the fleece is rinsed thoroughly to remove any detergent residue. Try re-washing with a small amount of mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
Fleece appears to be pilling
While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction or washing with abrasive items can sometimes cause minor pilling. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Ensure washing with similar fabrics and avoid overloading the washing machine.
