Full details

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to wiggle the zipper pull up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the teeth can help it glide more smoothly.
Fleece material feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog fleece fibers. Instead, tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore fluffiness.
Seam is coming undone
For minor seam issues, a simple hand stitch with a needle and thread can often repair it. For more significant damage, consider professional repair.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb to gently remove pills. Regular washing with like colors and avoiding harsh agitation can help prevent excessive pilling.
