Troubleshooting
Waistband closure feels loose after wear.
Ensure the hook and clasp are fully engaged. For long-term wear, consider if the size is optimal. This model uses a hook and clasp which can sometimes require re-adjustment.
Pockets not lying flat.
Ensure pockets are not overstuffed. Distribute items evenly. The Velcro flaps should secure items, but excessive bulk can affect the drape.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This is normal for durable cotton-polyester blends. Use a fabric softener during the wash cycle if preferred, and tumble dry on low heat.
