I done a brand-new hoodie today and without thinking, threw it in the hot dryer with my other clothes. Now the attachment is completely warped and wavy. I put some water on it and tried stretching information technology vertically along the zipper tape, which helped a little simply not much. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'll even go the zipper replaced if I accept to.

Your cotton sweatshirt shrunk but the metal zipper didn't. That's why it'southward warped. I don't know any ways to fix this.
If it's non too expensive and then I would buy a new one if you could. Maybe a new, slightly shorter attachment would fix the warping, only I've never seen that done. I don't think zipper warping is a big deal though.

Go the whole thing soaking moisture in cold water and stretch it back out.

This may work.

Thank you I'll requite that a attempt. I was simply wetting and stretching the zipper part and at present it'southward looking much better but not normal yet. If it doesn't work out I might just purchase another ane like Doc said. The thing is that it was on auction dirt inexpensive and doubt there'd be any left in my size at the store.

I've never seen a cotton fiber zip-up hoodie non do this. Information technology'southward basically the inevitable result of cotton shrinkage. You lot could try the manus-stretch method at present and handwash the thing thereafter, merely at that place will be a moment when the only solution will be to cover the moving ridge.

It's merely the nature of the beast. Embrace the moving ridge. All of my sweatshirts are like this as well.

Agreed with the higher up, it is just really noticeable when it'due south hanging on the hanger. When y'all're wearing it, people won't really notice.

Trust me, it was bad. I know a wavy zipper is normal for a sweatshirt, but this one looked like a fvcking Deoxyribonucleic acid helix when I pulled it out of the dryer. Anyway after getting it moisture again it looks a lot better, and so no worries.

Cold stretch is the all-time bet, you could even try putting some heavy objects on both ends to hold the stretch while it dries.
Next time remember that the dryer is the enemy!

I'll say that Wings+Horns hoodies do not do this. The cloth they utilise simply does not shrink enough to warp the zipper. That said, I don't heed the warped zipper. I mean, it's a hoodie, right? It should look a little abused. My opinion is that casual apparel should look worn in and only suits and tuxedos should look pristine.
