Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff initially
This is common with 100% cotton denim. Wear them frequently, especially when sitting, to help them mold to your body. Washing them once before the first extended wear can also help soften the fabric.
Color transfer to other clothing
Wash the shorts separately or with dark colors for the first few washes. Ensure you are using cold water as recommended.
Waistband feels tight after washing
Avoid high heat drying. If they have shrunk slightly, you can try gently stretching the waistband while the fabric is damp.
Distressing seems uneven or too much/little
Each pair is unique due to the nature of the washing and distressing process. If the distressing is significantly different from what you expected or is causing discomfort, contact customer service.
