FAQs

What material are these Lyle & Scott Sweat Shorts made from?

These shorts are made from 100% BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cotton, featuring a 320 gsm loopback fabric for comfort and durability.

How many pockets do these shorts have?

The shorts are equipped with two convenient side pockets and one rear pocket, providing ample space for small essentials.

Are these shorts suitable for intense athletic activities?

While comfortable for light to moderate workouts and gym use, their 100% cotton composition may not offer the same moisture-wicking properties as specialized synthetic athletic wear for intense, high-sweat activities.

How do I ensure the shorts maintain their size and shape after washing?

To prevent shrinkage and maintain quality, machine wash cold with similar colors and either air dry flat or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. Avoid hot water and high heat drying.

What does 'BCI cotton' mean?

BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It's a global not-for-profit organization that promotes better standards in cotton farming and practices, ensuring the cotton is sourced more sustainably.

Can the waistband be adjusted?

Yes, the shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort.

Are there other colors or sizes available for these sweat shorts?

Yes, while this guide is for the black size 32 variant, Lyle & Scott Sweat Shorts are often available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product catalog for other options.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel tighter or have shrunk after washing

This can occur if cotton is washed or dried at high temperatures. Always machine wash cold and tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent shrinkage.

Drawstring has slipped inside the waistband

Use a safety pin or a similar small item to thread through one end of the drawstring and guide it back through the waistband opening. Gently pull it through until it's centered.

Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding excessive heat during drying. A small amount of fabric softener (if desired) can also help, but it's often a sign of high heat drying.

Pockets are bulging or losing shape

Avoid overfilling pockets with heavy or bulky items. Distribute essentials evenly or use a bag for larger items to maintain the shorts' silhouette.

Product Care

  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, air dry flat to help maintain the fabric's shape and prevent shrinkage. Avoid high heat.

Following these steps will help preserve the soft feel, color, and fit of your sweat shorts.
