FAQs
What is the fabric composition of the Regatta Sabelle Shorts?
The shorts are made from a lightweight fabric blend consisting of 90% cotton and 10% linen.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking or sports?
No, these shorts are designed for casual, warm-weather wear and offer relaxed comfort rather than the support or durability required for hiking or strenuous sports.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The part-elasticated waistband provides some flexibility within the chosen size.
Can these shorts be worn in cooler weather?
While breathable, the cotton-linen blend is best suited for warm to hot weather. They can be layered with tights or leggings for cooler temperatures, but their primary design is for warmth.
Do the prints fade after washing?
Following the recommended care instructions (e.g., washing at 40°C, avoiding bleach, and drying appropriately) will help preserve the colors and prints.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric has a weight of 110gsm (grams per square meter), indicating it is very lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight at the waist
The part-elasticated waistband offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable, consider pairing with a looser top.
Fabric wrinkles easily
This is common with linen blends. Try ironing the shorts while slightly damp, or use a steam setting on your iron. Rolling or carefully folding them for storage can also minimize deep creases.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying method. Avoid high heat in both washing and drying.
Pockets feel shallow
The side pockets are designed for light items like keys or a small wallet. For carrying larger items, consider using a bag.
