Troubleshooting
Shirt feels uncomfortable or fit isn't right.
Check the size guide provided at purchase. Polyester can feel different from cotton; ensure the size aligns with your body measurements. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.
Colors appear dull or fading after washing.
Always wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, and excessive tumble drying. Line drying is ideal to preserve colors and fabric finish.
Fabric snagging or pilling.
Polyester can be prone to snagging if rubbed against rough surfaces. Wash with similar, soft fabrics. Avoid wearing with items that have zippers or abrasive embellishments that could damage the fabric. If pilling occurs, gently remove with a fabric shaver.
Embroidered logos or prints peeling/cracking.
This usually indicates improper washing or drying. Ensure you are washing inside out, using cold water, and avoiding high heat from tumble dryers or direct ironing on printed areas. Hand washing can also extend the life of delicate prints.
