Troubleshooting

Color fading after washing

Ensure washing is done at 30 degrees Celsius and consider washing with similar colors. Air drying can also help preserve color vibrancy.

Shrinkage after drying

Avoid high heat when drying. Air drying is the recommended method. If tumble drying, use the lowest heat setting.

Corduroy texture becoming flattened

Avoid excessive ironing directly on the corduroy ridges. Iron on a low setting, preferably inside out, or use a garment steamer.

Stitching coming loose

Check the garment care label for specific instructions. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. For significant issues, professional repair may be needed.
