Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.

Gently iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Air drying flat can also help minimize wrinkles.

Fabric feels stiff.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent for washing. Repeated wear and proper care should soften the fabric over time.

Pockets do not lay flat.

Ensure items placed in the pockets are not overly bulky. Reshape the pockets after washing and drying.

Color appears faded.

Wash in cold water and use a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying.
