Troubleshooting

Trousers lose shape after washing

Ensure you are following the specific care instructions for the compact stretch fabric, using a cool wash cycle and avoiding high heat in the dryer. Line drying is often recommended.

Fabric appears creased despite minimal wear

Iron on a low heat setting, being careful not to overheat the fabric. Steaming can also be an effective method for removing minor creases.

Pilling on the fabric surface

This can occur with some stretch fabrics. Gentle handling during washing and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help minimize pilling. A fabric shaver can be used for existing pilling.
