Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is flat around it. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Garment loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid over-drying on high heat. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry if possible.
Fabric feels less soft over time.
Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes break down synthetic fibers. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help maintain softness.
