To maintain their shape and prevent creasing, it's best to store these trousers on a padded hanger. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing for extended periods.

While designed for a slim fit, ensure you've selected the correct UK size 18. If you typically prefer a looser fit or have a different body shape, this particular style may feel snug. Consider if the wool material allows for minor stretching with wear over time.

Wool can crease, especially when sitting for long periods. Hang the trousers immediately after wearing to allow creases to relax. Light steaming or using a cool iron with a pressing cloth can help remove wrinkles. Avoid leaving them folded for extended periods.

Some individuals may find wool irritating. Wearing a thin base layer, such as tights or a slip, underneath can provide a barrier. Ensure the trousers are clean, as detergent residue can sometimes cause sensitivity. If irritation persists, this material may not suit your skin.

This is often due to improper drying or storage. Always lay flat to dry (never hang wet wool) and store on a padded hanger. Follow the specific care instructions to avoid stretching or shrinking that can alter the garment's original fit.
