Troubleshooting

Velvet fabric looks crushed or has uneven texture.

Gently steam the affected area or use a soft brush to brush the nap in the direction of the fabric. Avoid direct high heat ironing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there are no fabric threads caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) or a tiny bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth and gently work the zipper up and down.

Shorts appear too loose after wear.

Due to the nature of some fabrics, slight stretching can occur. Consider a professional tailoring service for a permanent adjustment if needed, or use a belt with the provided loops.

  • Washing: Due to the velvet material, it is recommended to hand wash these shorts in cold water or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger to maintain the shape and texture of the velvet. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fabric.
