FAQs
What does 'garment-dyed' mean?
Garment-dying is a process where the garment is dyed after it has been fully constructed. This results in a softer feel and a slightly faded, lived-in appearance, giving each piece a unique character.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Belstaff. These shorts have a regular fit and an elasticated waist with a tie, offering some adjustability. The specified waist size (e.g., UK 30) refers to the flat measurement of the waistband.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
These shorts are designed for casual wear and are not specifically made for swimming. While the cotton material can get wet, they lack the quick-drying properties of dedicated swimwear.
What is the material of the shorts?
The Dalesman Shorts are made from 100% Cotton twill.
How durable is the cotton twill?
Cotton twill is known for its durability and resilience, making it a suitable material for everyday wear. The garment-dyeing process may enhance its soft feel without significantly compromising strength.
Can the drawstring be removed?
The drawstring is typically sewn into the waistband and is not designed to be easily removed. It serves as an adjustable fit feature.
Troubleshooting
Color fading unevenly
This can be a characteristic of the garment-dyeing process, contributing to a unique look. If excessive fading occurs, ensure washing with similar colors and avoid harsh detergents or prolonged direct sunlight during drying.
Waistband feels too loose or tight
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The elasticated waist is designed to offer flexibility.
Zipper is stiff
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can stain the fabric.
