Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too loose
The Prospector Hood features a regular fit. For a tighter feel, ensure the drawcord on the hood is adjusted. If the overall fit is still too loose, consider layering with additional items or exploring other Filson fits.
Pilling after washing
While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction or harsh washing cycles can contribute. Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Shrinking after washing
The polyester blend aids in shrinkage control. Ensure you follow the washing and drying instructions precisely (cold wash, tumble dry low) to minimize any potential shrinkage.
