FAQs
What type of weather is this fleece best suited for?
This fleece is ideal for mild to cool weather. It serves as an excellent layering piece for autumn, spring, or cooler summer evenings. It can also be worn indoors for added warmth.
How should I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided. The product description includes UK sizes with corresponding chest measurements (e.g., UK 16: 34in). It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in light rain?
While the fleece offers some warmth, it is not waterproof. It can provide minimal protection against very light drizzle, but for significant rain, it should be worn under a waterproof jacket.
Is the fleece machine washable?
Yes, the fleece is machine washable. It is recommended to wash at 30°C or 40°C using a mild detergent.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling construction means the fabric is treated or woven in a way that minimizes the formation of small fuzzy balls (pills) on the surface, helping the garment maintain a neater appearance over time.
Does the fleece have pockets?
The product description does not mention pockets. This particular model focuses on a simple, lightweight design without additional features like pockets.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% polyester, specifically a 170gsm weight, which contributes to its soft-touch and lightweight properties.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help restore softness.
Pilling developing on the surface.
While the fleece has anti-pilling construction, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause minor pilling. Ensure the garment is washed inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris.
