Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the size chart and product dimensions. Consider that denim can stretch slightly with wear, but initial fit is crucial. Exchanges may be necessary if the fit is significantly off.

Discoloration after washing

Ensure you are washing at 30°C with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

Stiffness or discomfort

New denim often requires a break-in period. Wear the shorts frequently for short periods to help them mold to your body shape. Washing and wearing can accelerate this process.
