Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight after washing
Cotton can shrink. If a snug fit is preferred, consider sizing up. If already owned, try gently stretching the waistband while damp.
Stripe pattern fading
Wash inside out in cold water and avoid harsh detergents. Air drying is preferable to machine drying to maintain color vibrancy.
Pocket seam appears weak
For minor issues, reinforcing the seam with a sewing machine or needle and thread can extend its life. For significant damage, consider professional repair or replacement.
