Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled

Gently steam the shorts or iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth, ideally while slightly damp. Avoid over-drying if using a dryer on a low heat setting.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can be normal for linen blends. The fabric will soften with wear and subsequent washes. Ensure you are using a gentle detergent and cool water for washing.

Color fading

Wash the shorts inside out in cold water and consider using a detergent specifically for colored fabrics. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
