FAQs

What makes ECONYL® yarn sustainable?

ECONYL® yarn is made from nylon waste, such as old fishing nets and fabric scraps, which are regenerated through a complex depolymerization process. This reduces the need for new fossil fuel resources and diverts waste from landfills and oceans.

How should I care for the garment-dyed fabric?

To maintain the unique color of garment-dyed items, it's best to wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle, inside out, and away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

Are these shorts suitable for sports other than swimming?

While designed primarily for swimwear, their quick-drying and lightweight properties make them suitable for light activities. However, they may not offer the specialized support or durability needed for intense athletic performance.

What is the fit like?

The shorts are designed for a regular fit with a mid-length cut. The elasticated drawstring waistband allows for adjustability to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

Can I wear these shorts for casual outings, not just swimming?

Yes, their stylish design and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear, such as beach walks or relaxed gatherings, when paired with appropriate casual attire.

What does 'Nylon Metal' refer to?

Nylon Metal is an iconic fabric by Stone Island. It is a nylon that has been metalized through a unique finishing process, giving it a distinctive iridescent sheen and a smooth texture. In this case, it's combined with ECONYL® regenerated yarns.

Troubleshooting

Color fading or unevenness

This can be a characteristic of the garment dyeing process. To minimize further fading, wash inside out with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Drawstring becoming untied

Ensure the drawstring is tied securely. If the ends fray, you can carefully melt them with a lighter (use extreme caution) or tie a small knot at each end.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the shorts are the correct size. The mesh lining is designed for comfort and support; if it feels abrasive, try rinsing the shorts in fresh water after wear and allow them to air dry completely.
