FAQs
What does 'Drapey Jort' mean?
'Drapey' refers to the relaxed, flowing fit of the jort, while 'Jort' is a slang term for denim shorts. This style offers a comfortable, less structured silhouette.
What is the 'Overt Wash'?
The 'Overt Wash' is a specific finishing process applied to the denim that results in a classic, authentic blue color, emphasizing the texture of the twill fabric. It is designed to look timeless and develop character over time.
What is the blend of the denim fabric?
The denim is made from a blend of cotton and lyocell. This combination provides the durability of cotton with the soft, smooth feel and drape of lyocell, making the fabric lightweight yet strong.
How should I care for these jorts to preserve the wash?
Wash them in cold water, inside out, with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.
Are these jorts suitable for all body types?
The jorts are designed with a relaxed, low-rise, androgynous fit. While versatile, individuals who prefer a higher waistline or a more tailored fit might find them less suitable without adjustments like a belt.
Can I style these jorts for a more formal occasion?
While primarily casual, they can be dressed up by pairing them with a sophisticated blouse, smart footwear like loafers or heeled sandals, and minimalist accessories for smart-casual events.
How do I know if the size 32 is right for me?
The size 32 is based on UK waist sizing. It's recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the brand's specific size chart, considering the relaxed, low-rise fit which sits lower on the hips.
Troubleshooting
Denim feels stiff or uncomfortable
Rigid denim often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will soften with movement and washing.
Color fades unevenly after washing
Ensure you are washing inside out in cold water with like colors and a mild detergent. Avoid excessive agitation or harsh spin cycles.
Fit is too loose on the hips
Consider wearing a belt to cinch the waist and achieve a more secure fit. The low-rise design is intentional for a relaxed silhouette.
Shrinkage after drying
Avoid high heat in the dryer. Opt for low heat or air drying to minimize shrinkage. If slight shrinkage occurs, they may stretch back with wear.
