Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing

Gently iron the shorts on a medium heat setting while they are slightly damp. Alternatively, use a steamer to remove wrinkles.

Tie waist is difficult to adjust

Ensure the fabric is smooth around the waist before tightening the tie. If the tie is stiff, it may soften with continued wear and washing.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

Tumble dry on a low setting with a dryer sheet, or hang dry and gently work the fabric with your hands. A light iron can also help soften the material.
