FAQs
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, but we recommend a gentle, cold wash cycle and hanging them to dry to protect the structural details.
Do these shorts run true to size?
They generally align with standard sizing, but it is recommended to consult the size guide to match your specific measurements, especially since the fit is tailored.
Are all versions made from the same material?
No, the material varies between cotton and polyester depending on the specific manufacturing batch.
Can I wear a belt with these?
Yes, the shorts feature functional belt loops designed to accommodate standard belt widths.
How do I maintain the front darts?
Avoid heavy tumble drying and use a low-heat iron or steamer to press the fabric along the existing lines of the darts after washing.
Troubleshooting
Metal hook fastening feels loose
Check if the thread holding the hook is fraying; reinforce with matching thread if necessary.
Fabric looks wrinkled after washing
Use a garment steamer or a cool iron to gently press out creases, focusing on the dart area to restore the structure.
Zipper sticks or is difficult to close
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear of the track; a small amount of paraffin wax can be applied to help the slider move more smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Stradivarius Smart Rustic Shorts in optimal condition, always check the interior garment label for the specific fabric content, as some versions are made from cotton while others utilize polyester. Generally, these shorts should be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the shape of the front darts and the integrity of the metal hook fastening. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking or distortion of the fabric. Iron on a low setting if necessary to keep the front pleats looking crisp. For the best longevity, hang to dry and store them on a trouser hanger to avoid unwanted creases across the waist.
