Troubleshooting

Fabric losing shape

Ensure proper washing and drying as per care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat. Store by folding neatly rather than hanging, to prevent stretching.

Buttons becoming loose

Gently reinforce buttons with a needle and thread. Avoid excessive force when fastening or unfastening.

Minor snags on textured fabric

Carefully try to pull the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. For more significant snags, professional repair might be necessary.
