FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The top is made from 100% Polyester fleece.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This is a lightweight fleece (170gsm) best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, additional insulation would be required.
How do I know which size to order?
The product description provides UK sizing with corresponding chest measurements. It is recommended to measure your chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This garment is specifically designed for women, featuring a women's fit and sizing.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, helping the garment maintain its smooth appearance over time.
How should I wash the fleece top?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
Does the high neck zip all the way up?
No, this is a quarter-zip top, meaning the zip extends only partway down the chest, typically to the collarbone area.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents. Do not use fabric softener, as it can affect the fleece's properties. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Pilling is appearing prematurely
While the fleece is treated to be anti-pilling, excessive friction (e.g., rubbing against rough surfaces or bags) can still cause minor pilling. Ensure you follow the care instructions, washing inside out if possible, to minimize friction.
