Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The woven fabric offers structure; for maximum flexibility, consider pairing with more dynamic movements or exploring stretchier fabric options if available.
Fabric appears to be pilling or snagging
Check washing instructions and ensure you are washing with similar fabrics to avoid abrasion. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough surfaces. Hand washing can also help prolong fabric life.
Color fading after washing
Always wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Consider washing inside out to protect the outer surface.
