Troubleshooting
Bib & Brace straps not staying adjusted
Ensure the buckles are securely fastened and the straps are threaded correctly according to the design. Check for any wear on the buckle mechanism.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Follow care instructions carefully. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting with dryer balls, or use a fabric softener sparingly during the final rinse cycle.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or wax if it continues to stick.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Ensure you are using knee pads designed to fit within the pockets. Some knee pads may require additional securing straps or a specific fit for the garment.
