FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for running?
They are suitable for light jogs or casual walks, but they do not provide the specialized muscle compression often desired for long-distance competitive running.
What does the regular fit feel like?
The regular fit is designed to be relaxed, providing plenty of room in the legs and hips without being baggy.
Can these be put in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the integrity of the three-stripe detail.
Are these shorts opaque?
Yes, they are made from high-quality material designed to provide full coverage during standard daily use.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts correspond to standard UK dress sizes. Use the 'L' size if you typically wear a UK 16.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks worn after repeated washing
Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric fibers.
Waistband feels uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK dress size; the regular fit is meant to sit comfortably without digging into the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your shorts in the best condition, always follow the care label instructions sewn into the garment. Typically, this involves machine washing in cold water with similar colors and avoiding harsh bleaches. The shorts pair exceptionally well with standard cotton t-shirts, athletic tank tops, or hoodies. Ensure you select the correct size based on your UK dress size to maintain the intended regular fit, as going too large may compromise the comfort of the elastic waistband.
