FAQs
What is the main purpose of this fleece top?
The fleece top is designed as a lightweight, insulated layer for casual wear and moderate outdoor activities, providing warmth without significant bulk.
How does the 'anti-pilling' feature work?
The anti-pilling finish is a treatment applied to the fabric fibres that helps to prevent the formation of small balls (pills) on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
What is the best way to determine my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided, which lists UK dress sizes and corresponding chest measurements in inches. Measure your chest circumference to find the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?
This fleece is suitable for cooler conditions and can be layered under a heavier jacket for more extreme temperatures. It is primarily designed for moderate warmth.
Is the high neck zippered all the way up?
No, it features a quarter-zip fastening, meaning the zipper extends only partway down the front, allowing for adjustable ventilation at the neck and chest area.
What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?
It is ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, light hiking, and as a comfortable layer for travel or lounging.
How do I care for the embroidered details?
Standard washing and drying instructions apply. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which could potentially damage the embroidery over time.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears to be pilling excessively.
While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, excessive pilling can sometimes occur with very rough wear or incorrect washing. Ensure you are washing with similar colours and avoiding abrasive materials in the wash. Adhere to the recommended washing temperature.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Garment lost its softness after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of fleece over time. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some of the fleece's softness.
