Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight initially.
Cotton denim often has a break-in period. Wear them for a few hours a day, or try a cold wash and hang dry to allow them to mold to your body.
Hem fraying excessively.
The chewed hem is a design feature. If it frays more than desired, you can carefully trim loose threads with scissors or opt for a style with a less pronounced hem.
Color fading.
Wash inside out in cold water with similar colors and avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the color.
