Troubleshooting

Stitching coming undone

Inspect the garment for loose threads. If the stitching is significantly unraveling, contact the retailer for warranty information. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Using a fabric softener on a low tumble dry setting may help restore softness.
