FAQs
What makes the Nylon Metal fabric special?
Nylon Metal is a fabric that undergoes a special coating and dyeing process to create a distinctive iridescent sheen and a metallic look, offering a unique aesthetic.
What is ECONYL® regenerated yarn?
ECONYL® is a regenerated nylon yarn made from fishing nets and other nylon waste, transformed back into virgin-quality nylon. It's a sustainable alternative that retains the same performance characteristics as traditional nylon.
How should I care for my garment-dyed swim shorts?
It's recommended to wash them cold on a delicate cycle, inside out, and avoid bleach. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is best. Avoid high heat ironing.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable and functional, these shorts are designed more for leisure and style rather than competitive swimming, which often requires specialized, more form-fitting attire.
Can I wear these shorts away from the beach or pool?
Yes, the premium material and design make them suitable for casual wear beyond water activities, pairing well with various tops for a stylish, relaxed look.
What is the fit like?
The shorts have a mid-length fit with an elasticated drawstring waistband, designed for a comfortable and adjustable wear.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the Purple Grey variant. Please refer to the product listing for available colors, though the unique dyeing process means color can vary slightly.
Troubleshooting
Color fading or inconsistency
This can be a characteristic of the garment dyeing process. Ensure washing according to care instructions (cold wash, inside out) to maintain color integrity.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
Adjust the internal drawstring for a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely.
Mesh lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure the shorts are properly rinsed after use in chlorinated or salt water. The mesh is designed for quick drying and comfort; ensure no residue is present.
