Troubleshooting
Sweatshirt appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you are washing at 40°C as recommended and avoid high heat tumble drying. Air drying can help maintain the original size. Check if the care label indicates any specific instructions regarding shrinkage.
Color seems to have faded
Wash the garment with similar colors and consider using a color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can accelerate fading.
Pilling has started to appear on the fabric
While the material is designed to be low-pill, excessive friction can sometimes cause pilling. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can help minimize this. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove existing pills.
