Patagonia Fleece Jacket: How do I get my fleece to stop shedding?

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 10:54:05 -0700

My fleece has been washed a few times but still sheds little (pink) bits on everything. I wore it under a different coat and found pink fleece bits all over the other coat. At first I thought it would just stop after washing but sadly it didn't. If anyone has any insight I would be so grateful! Thanks! -kate

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: Replace the spandex cuffs on an old Synchilla?

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 10:15:39 -0700

I have a Synchilla fleece jacket from the mid to late 80s. It was my first Patagonia anything. The stretch in the cuffs is long gone, so I only ever wear it when I am feeling real sentimental. Can these be replaced?

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: How do you repair a rip in a fleece jacket?

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:15:48 -0700

My 10 year old son was playing outdoors in his fleece jacket today. The jacket has a front zipper and two pockets for one's hands. The jacket ripped / was torn by a large stick perhaps near the front hand pocket area. How does one fix this? Glue a patch? Iron-on a patch? Sew it? Send it back to Patagonia?

Thanks - Rebecca

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: How do I repair unravelled seam on Retro-X jacket?

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 12:10:48 -0700

Hi, the sleeve seam on my Retro-X jacket unravelled from armpit to elbow. It's a tricky spot - the seam is serged and I'm not sure how to best repair it without a serger without it looking terrible. Advice welcome as the jacket is otherwise in great condition.

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: How to add drawstring to R1?

Thu, 25 May 2023 19:50:41 -0700

hey there! I really like my R1 air full zip hoody except the bottom flares out a bit. I wanted to add a drawstring to the bottom. There are some nice ways to do this, eg cut small slits in the bottom hem, apply a grommet in each slit and feed shock cord through it. The whole thing is completed with a shock cord stopper on either side. So the question really is this: is the R1 bottom hem tubular in structure to allow a draw string to be inserted through it? I thought I would ask before cutting small slits in it! Thanks for the help.

Hello Ifixit!

I accidentally forgot my two Synchilas in the dryer and they become wrinkled. Any idea what should I do to make them nice and straight again? (I tried warm water wash and air dry, iron with medium heat over wet cloth but sweaters are still wrinkled).

Thank you for your answer!

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: Hole in Quilt Snap-T, how should I sew it?

Thu, 04 Oct 2018 16:04:38 -0700

I have a small hole in the sleeve of my quilt snap pullover. I can’t justify sending it in with such a small tear but it is also losing insulation. The material seems a bit more fragile (for lack of better words) so I was wondering if there is a suggested sewing pattern to follow. Thank you!

Patagonia Fleece Jacket: Lining around pocket zipper is falling off.

Wed, 25 Apr 2018 12:06:01 -0700

The outer lining around my pocket's zipper is pealing off. I'm guessing it was initially applied with some sort of adhesive, because I don't see much stitching.

This fleece jacket is perfect otherwise, and I'd like to keep it. How do I fix this?
