Troubleshooting

Shorts appear creased after wearing

Linen is prone to wrinkling. Use a cool iron on the reverse side. Consider steaming the shorts for a quick refresh without direct ironing.

Buttons feel loose

As decorative buttons, they are primarily for appearance. If any feel excessively loose, a small amount of fabric glue or careful sewing can secure them. Professional cleaning may also help maintain their attachment.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions (dry clean). If they feel stiff after a non-professional wash, it may indicate improper cleaning. Re-steaming or professional cleaning can help restore softness.
