How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This particular variant is for children aged 5-6 years (UK sizing). We recommend comparing your child's waist and hip measurements with a size chart if available, or consulting the 'other variants' section for alternative sizes.

Can I machine wash these shorts?

Do these shorts come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, these shorts are also available in Blue, and in various other children's sizes, including 1-2, 7-8, and 9-10 years. Please check available product variants.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose.

Verify the size against the child's current measurements. Ensure the elasticated waistband is not twisted and is sitting properly on the waist. Consider if a different size variant would be more suitable.

Shorts appear to be shrinking after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low heat setting, or preferably air drying. High heat can cause cotton to shrink. Avoid overloading the washing machine.

Fabric shows signs of wear or tearing quickly.

While designed for durability, extremely rough or abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure care instructions (especially washing temperature) are followed to maintain fabric integrity. If wear is excessive, inspect for sharp objects in pockets or external factors.

Color seems to be fading.

Wash shorts with similar dark colors in cold water. Avoid direct sun exposure for prolonged periods when drying, as this can cause colors to fade. Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers.
