Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose
The elastic waistband is designed for comfort. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if a different size might be more suitable. For minor adjustments, a qualified tailor might offer solutions.
Zipped pockets not closing smoothly
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can sometimes help.
Fabric retains water after washing
While designed to be quick-drying, ensure the shorts are not overloaded in the washing machine and are spun adequately. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area.
