Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you followed the care label instructions, particularly regarding water temperature and tumble drying settings. Use a cool wash (40°C or less) and a low tumble dry.

Color fading more than expected

Wash the garment inside out to protect the color. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Ensure the garment is dried away from direct sunlight.

Pilling developing on the fabric surface
