Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight/loose
Check the size guide carefully before purchasing. If the fit is slightly off, consider if the 'Comfort Stretch' fabric will adapt over time or if a different size is needed.
Color fading after washing
Always wash according to the care label instructions: inside out, in cold water, with similar colors. Minimize time in direct sunlight when drying.
Button fly is difficult to fasten
Ensure all buttons are properly aligned before fastening. The button fly may become easier to use as the shorts are worn and broken in.
Fabric feels stiff
