Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Diamante accents appear dull or loose
Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing. Hand wash gently and air dry. If loose, a professional tailor might be able to reattach them securely.
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive
Verify you have selected the correct size. The fabric has stretch, but a size too small will inhibit movement. Consider a larger size if discomfort persists.
Silicone grip is less effective
Ensure the knee patch area and the saddle are clean and dry. Residue from lotions or saddle soap can reduce grip. Follow care instructions to maintain the silicone's integrity.
