Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight initially

Pure cotton denim often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours to allow the fabric to mold to your body. If still uncomfortable after break-in, ensure correct sizing was selected.

Fringe hem is uneven or fraying excessively

Gently trim any excessively long or uneven threads with sharp scissors to maintain the desired look. Avoid cutting too close to the main seam.

Denim color fading significantly

Wash inside out in cold water with minimal detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
