FAQs
What does 'Jort' mean?
A 'jort' is a colloquial term for jean shorts, but in this context, it refers to shorts with a similar length and relaxed silhouette, made from cotton fabric rather than denim.
What is 'regenerative cotton'?
Regenerative cotton is cotton grown using farming practices that aim to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere, contributing to a more sustainable agricultural system.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the `size_mens_waist_uk` attribute for sizing. Given the oversized fit, consider if you prefer a snugger fit around the waist and adjust accordingly, though the drawstring offers flexibility.
Can these shorts be worn for athletic activities?
While comfortable for casual movement, the rigid fabric and oversized cut are primarily designed for style and casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.
How should I care for the checkered pattern?
Follow the general care instructions: wash cold, gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat which could affect the fabric's texture and color.
What does 'Natural Greige' color mean?
Natural Greige refers to an undyed or minimally processed shade of beige, offering a natural, earthy, and neutral tone that is easy to pair with other colors.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not twisted. If it feels stiff, check for any minor fabric obstructions and gently work the drawstring free.
Fabric feels too stiff
The rigid nature of the cotton is intentional for structure. Multiple washes according to care instructions can help soften the fabric over time.
Pattern appears inconsistent
The jacquard weave creates texture. Slight variations are normal due to the weaving process and contribute to the unique character of the fabric.
