I have this roller thing that removes dust and fibers etc. Its about the size of a hairbrush and is covered with sticky paper, you roll it over your clothes and all the stuff sticks to it. When you want to use it again you just rip off the used paper and theres a new sticky layer underneath. I got mine in H&M.

You can get a few different things to help with this, if you're stuck sellotape will do the trick, stray fibres just lift off. You can also get a clothes brush, basically they come in either a hairbrush style or a style that looks like a shoebrush, they have what looks like red velvet material on them, which is arranged so that when you rub it down your coat, fibres stick to the brush as the material is angled to catch stray hairs. Places like Heatons or homeware depts should stock them (they're often used on furniture too to clear fibres).

another option is to visit a pet shop, they do rubber brick type things that are designed to get pet hair off furniture or clothes, these are fantastic, just rub them along the coat and the hair sticks to them and you just clear it off the brick then, costs about a fiver. Trust me, they do work, I have a white cat and a white dog and lots of black clothes and a dark suite of furniture that just seems to be a magnet for stray pethairs, and these things do the trick nicely.

Oh and if you're caught on the go with fibres etc on your coat, wet your hands slightly, and brush the coat with them, as the fibres will stick to your damp palms and you can wash them off. Handy if you're out and notice hairs on your coat.
