FAQs
What age group is this sweatshirt suitable for?
This specific listing is for size 12-18 months, suitable for toddlers. The Balou Pile Sweatshirt is available in various sizes for different age groups.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Liewood Balou Pile Sweatshirt is not waterproof. It is designed to be a warm, insulating layer for dry or mildly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain.
Can I machine wash the sweatshirt?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but only at a maximum temperature of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron.
What is the main benefit of using recycled polyester?
Using recycled polyester reduces the demand for virgin raw materials, conserves energy, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing new polyester.
How warm is this jacket?
It is designed to be lightweight yet warm, making it ideal for transitional weather. It provides good insulation but may require additional layers in very cold temperatures.
Can I mix and match this with other Liewood items?
Yes, this sweatshirt is designed to coordinate with other Liewood clothing items, such as the BUBA pile sweatpants, for a complete outfit.
What should I do if the colour fades?
To prevent fading, wash the garment inside out, away from direct sunlight, and at the recommended low temperature. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears matted or less soft after washing.
Ensure the garment was washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C and was not tumble dried or ironed, as these can damage the pile. Air drying away from direct heat is recommended.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to pull.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Pilling or shedding of fabric.
Some minor pilling can occur with fleece-like materials. Ensure the garment is washed inside out on a delicate cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or towels.
