Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the brand's size chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if a less compressive style might be a better personal choice.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid using high heat in the dryer and refrain from using fabric softeners, which can degrade the material over time.
Hidden pocket feels insecure
For added security, consider using a small zippered pouch or securing cards/keys within the pocket using a safety pin, especially during high-impact activities.
Pilling on fabric surface
Pilling can sometimes occur with recycled fabrics due to friction. Wash inside out and air dry to minimize this. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.
