FAQs

What does 'Ribcage' refer to in the product name?

The 'Ribcage' name refers to the ultra-high waist design of the jeans, which sits very close to the ribcage, creating a dramatically high rise and a figure-cinching effect.

How should I care for the raw hem?

The raw hem is designed to fray naturally over time, adding to the style. You can trim any excessive loose threads with scissors if desired. Avoid aggressive washing or drying methods if you want to control the amount of fraying.

Is the black color likely to fade?

Like most dark denim, the black color may fade slightly over time with regular washing and wear. Washing inside out with cold water and using detergents for dark colors can help maintain the color.

What is the rise of these shorts?

These shorts feature an ultra-high rise, meaning the waistband sits significantly above the natural waistline, typically at or near the ribcage.

Can I adjust the fit if the shorts are slightly too large?

Since the shorts are 100% cotton, they may shrink slightly with heat in the dryer. If they are only slightly too large, wearing them and allowing them to mold to your body can help. For significant fit issues, it's best to ensure you have the correct size from the start.

Are these shorts stretchy?

These Ribcage shorts are made from 100% cotton, which means they have minimal to no stretch. They are designed for a structured fit that conforms to the body with wear.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel stiff after washing

This is typical for 100% cotton denim. The fabric will soften significantly with wear and subsequent washes. You can also try tumble drying on a low heat setting.

Raw hem appears to be fraying excessively

Some fraying is natural for a raw hem. If it becomes too extensive, you can carefully trim stray threads with scissors. Avoid excessive washing and drying cycles if you wish to minimize fraying.

Fit is too tight or uncomfortable

As 100% cotton has minimal stretch, consider the sizing carefully. If the shorts are new, they may loosen slightly with wear. If they remain too uncomfortable, consult the size chart for alternative sizes.
