Troubleshooting

Pilling or fuzz on the fabric

This can occur with cotton pique over time. Gentle washing and avoiding high-heat drying can help minimize it. Consider a fabric shaver for existing pills.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not bunched. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small application of graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth can sometimes help with smoothness.

Shrinkage after washing

Always follow the recommended care instructions. Washing in cold water and air drying or tumble drying on low heat will help prevent shrinkage.
