Troubleshooting
Cape losing shape after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid machine washing or high heat drying. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Professional dry cleaning is the safest option for maintaining shape.
Pilling on the wool fabric
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a wool comb or a fabric shaver. Avoid excessive friction on the fabric.
Popper buttons feel stiff or difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the poppers are aligned correctly. If they feel excessively tight, a small amount of beeswax or silicone lubricant *very carefully* applied to the male part of the popper might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid forcing them.
