Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based product to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels tight in certain areas
While the fit is regular, ensure you have selected the correct size. The ribbed cuffs and hem offer some flexibility, but for a looser fit, consider sizing up if available.
Fading of color after washing
Follow the cold wash and like-colors instructions. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying, as this can contribute to fading. Use a gentle detergent.
