FAQs
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are crafted from high-quality, durable cotton in a micro-corduroy weave.
Is the waistband elastic?
Yes, the Prepster shorts feature a comfortable, relaxed-fit waistband with an adjustable drawstring.
How long is the inseam?
The shorts have a 15cm (approximately 6-inch) inseam, providing a classic length that sits above the knee.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
They are made of breathable cotton, but because corduroy is a slightly thicker fabric, they are most comfortable during mild or transitional weather.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as high heat can shrink the cotton and damage the texture of the corduroy.
Does the colour fade easily?
To maintain the color, wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing flat or crushed
Use a garment steamer to gently fluff the corduroy pile back to its original state.
Drawstring retracting into the casing
Use a safety pin attached to one end of the drawstring to thread it back through the eyelet carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your corduroy shorts maintain their texture and color, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Always turn the shorts inside out to protect the corduroy ribs from friction.
- Drying: Air dry is recommended to prevent the cotton from shrinking. Lay flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant green color.
- Ironing: Avoid direct high heat on the corduroy surface. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer on the reverse side of the fabric.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair best with casual footwear like boat shoes, canvas sneakers, or suede chukkas.
