Full details

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
While the shorts allow for easy movement, their design is primarily geared towards casual wear and light activities rather than high-impact running.
What is the rise of these shorts?
The shorts have a mid-rise fit.
Can I machine dry these shorts?
Yes, you can tumble dry them on a low heat setting. However, air drying is recommended to prolong the life of the fabric.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% Cotton.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
The product description states they are 'True to size - order your usual size' and feature a 'Relaxed fit'. Refer to The North Face's general sizing guide if unsure.
Are there pockets on these shorts?
The product description mentions an elasticated waist and drawstring fastening but does not explicitly detail pockets. Based on typical tracksuit short designs, side pockets may be present, but this should be confirmed visually or through detailed product images if critical.
Troubleshooting
Fit is too loose/tight
Adjust the drawstring to tighten or loosen the waistband. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if you have ordered the correct size based on the sizing chart and intended fit.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions. For cotton, a fabric softener can be used sparingly in the rinse cycle, or tumble dry on low with dryer balls.
Drawstring has come undone
Carefully use a safety pin or a drawstring threader to re-insert the drawstring through the waistband casing.
