Troubleshooting
Vest feels stiff initially
This is normal for heavyweight canvas. Wear the vest for a few days or machine wash it according to the care instructions to help soften the material.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping again. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
Quilting is coming undone
If a stitch has come loose, carefully trim any loose threads. For more significant damage, consult a tailor or consider a repair service to reinforce the quilting.
Vest is too warm for the conditions
Utilize the two-way zip closure to increase ventilation. Consider wearing it only over a t-shirt or as an outer layer in significantly colder temperatures. For milder weather, consider lighter Carhartt WIP options.
