FAQs

What is the material of the shorts?

The shorts are made from 100% cotton, providing a soft and breathable feel.

How do I determine my size?

The product description states they fit true to size, so ordering your usual size is recommended. Refer to the relaxed fit note for sizing considerations.

Can I adjust the waistband?

Yes, the shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring for a customized fit.

What is the rise of these shorts?

These shorts have a mid-rise design.

How should I care for these shorts to prevent damage?

Machine wash in cold water, tumble dry on low or hang dry, and avoid bleach to maintain their quality and color.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose

Utilize the drawstring to tighten the waistband for a more secure fit. If the overall fit is still too baggy, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate.

Color fading after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Turning the shorts inside out before washing can also help protect the color.

Shrinkage after drying

Avoid high heat when drying. Tumble dry on low or opt for air drying to minimize shrinkage.
