Troubleshooting
Fleece appears matted or less fluffy
Gently brush the fleece with a soft clothes brush to lift the fibres. Ensure you are following the correct washing and drying instructions, avoiding high heat.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Minor pilling can occur with wear. Use a fabric shaver or de-piller carefully to remove pills. Avoid abrasive contact with the fleece.
Faux leather piping shows signs of wear
Gently clean the piping with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, as this can degrade the material. Do not iron directly on the piping.
