FAQs
What does 'garment-dyed' mean?
Garment-dyeing means the shorts are fully constructed and then dyed. This process creates a softer feel, a more unique and slightly faded color appearance, and reduces shrinkage compared to piece-dyeing.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature a regular fit with an elasticated waist and adjustable tie for a customizable fit. Refer to the size guide for waist measurements to select your appropriate size.
Can these shorts be worn for athletic activities?
While comfortable and breathable for light activities like walking, they are designed more for casual wear and everyday comfort rather than high-impact sports.
How should I care for the embroidered patch?
Avoid direct high heat when ironing. It is recommended to iron the garment inside out on a low setting to protect the embroidered details.
Will the color bleed onto other clothes?
Due to the garment-dyeing process, some color may transfer during the first few washes. It is recommended to wash them separately or with dark colors until they are colorfast.
What is the material of the shorts?
The shorts are made from 100% Cotton twill.
Troubleshooting
Color fading unevenly
This is a characteristic of the garment-dying process and is intended to give a lived-in look. Ensure washing is done according to care instructions, ideally inside out and with similar colors.
Elasticated waist feels too tight or loose
Adjust the internal drawstring for a personalized fit. Ensure the size selected corresponds to your waist measurement for optimal comfort.
Button on rear pocket is loose
Carefully sew the button back on using a strong thread, ensuring it is securely fastened to the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These shorts require no setup as they are a finished garment. They are compatible with most casual tops and footwear. To maintain the integrity and unique appearance of the garment-dyed fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry to preserve the fabric and color.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over any embroidered details.
- Colorfastness: Due to the garment-dyeing process, slight color variations may occur and some color may transfer in the first few washes. Wash separately until colorfastness is established.
