FAQs

What is the primary use of the Regatta Newhill Fleece?

The Regatta Newhill Fleece is designed as a warm, soft, and durable mid-layer for everyday wear, suitable for walks, commutes, and relaxed weekends in cooler weather.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet conditions?

While warm, it is primarily a mid-layer. For very cold or wet conditions, it is best paired with a waterproof and windproof outer layer.

How do I wash the Regatta Newhill Fleece?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.

Will the fleece shrink if I tumble dry it?

It is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat may cause shrinkage. Air drying is the safest option to maintain the garment's size and shape.

What does 'brushed backing' mean?

Brushed backing refers to the process of treating the fabric surface to raise fine fibers, making it exceptionally soft and increasing its insulating properties by trapping more air.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer jacket?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, its design as a mid-layer means it lacks the full waterproofing and windproofing of dedicated outerwear.

What makes the stretch binding useful?

The stretch binding at the cuffs and hem helps to create a snug fit, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping, thus enhancing warmth and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is clean and free from debris. Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can degrade the material's insulating properties. Check that the stretch binding is snug to prevent heat loss.

Pilling on the fabric surface.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be carefully used to remove excess fuzz.

Color fading after washing.

Wash the fleece with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, and opt for air drying or low heat tumble drying. Washing at a lower temperature (30°C) can also help preserve color.
