Shrinkage after washing

Pilling on fabric surface
While designed to reduce pilling, excessive friction can still cause it. Wash inside-out and avoid washing with abrasive items like denim with zippers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax if it persists. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Color fading
Wash in cold water with mild detergent. Turn the garment inside-out before washing and drying to protect the color.
