Troubleshooting
Shorts appear wrinkled after washing/drying
Gently iron the shorts on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Steaming can also help to remove wrinkles.
Buttons feel loose or damaged
Handle the decorative buttons with care. If a button becomes loose, consult a tailor for professional reattachment. Avoid excessive force when buttoning or unbuttoning.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the natural fibers of the linen blend. Re-ironing on a low heat may help restore softness.
