Full details
The Polo Ralph Lauren Prepster Shorts are ideal for men seeking a blend of classic heritage style and modern comfort. Crafted from soft micro-corduroy fabric, these shorts feature an easy-wearing drawstring waistband, making them perfect for relaxed weekend outings or casual summer social events. While they offer exceptional comfort and a refined aesthetic, users should note that the 15cm inseam provides a shorter, more tailored fit than traditional cargo or board shorts.

FAQs
Are these shorts true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, the elastic waistband provides some flexibility in the fit.
Can I wear these in the water?
While durable, these are casual cotton shorts, not swim trunks, and are not designed for salt or chlorine water exposure.
What is the length of the shorts?
These shorts feature a 15cm inseam, which is considered a classic, shorter-length cut.
Is the material heavy?
No, they are made from a lightweight micro-corduroy, designed specifically to be breathable and comfortable for warm weather.
Does the corduroy require dry cleaning?
No, they are machine washable, though a gentle cycle and air drying are recommended to prolong the life of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or flattened corduroy texture
Use a handheld fabric steamer to gently lift the corduroy pile and remove creases without applying direct heat or pressure.
Drawstring retracting into the waistband
Use a small safety pin to guide the drawstring end back through the eyelet, or prevent this by tying a loose knot at both ends of the drawstring before washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Polo Ralph Lauren Prepster shorts in optimal condition, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle to protect the integrity of the micro-corduroy pile.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric's soft texture. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, or opt for steaming to remove wrinkles without flattening the corduroy ribs.
- Storage: Fold the shorts neatly in your drawer; hanging them for long periods may cause the elastic drawstring waist to stretch out over time.
