Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, and try tumble drying on a low heat setting with dryer balls to soften the fabric.
Elastic waistband feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawstring to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely if it feels loose.
Color fading over time
Wash the shorts inside out in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, and consider air drying instead of tumble drying on high heat.
