Product Information

Full details

The Aquascutum Original Active Swim Shorts are designed for the style-conscious man who values both heritage aesthetics and functional swimwear for pool or seaside use. These shorts provide a secure and comfortable fit through an elasticated waistband and adjustable drawstring, blending the brand's iconic checkered pattern with practical aquatic performance features. While these shorts excel in casual beach settings, they are specifically tailored for leisure and active swimming rather than high-intensity competitive water sports, and users should note that the zinc-blend fabric requires careful maintenance to preserve its longevity.

FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for intense lap swimming?

While they are designed for active use, they are best suited for recreational swimming and leisure; for professional lap swimming, a more streamlined performance suit is recommended.

How do I determine my size?

These shorts come in standard sizes; check the waistband measurements to ensure a comfortable fit, as the elastic allows for a slight range of flexibility.

Can I wear these as casual shorts outside the water?

Yes, their tailored aesthetic and iconic pattern make them suitable for poolside dining or casual beach environments.

What is the primary material used?

The shorts utilize a zinc-blend material, chosen for its durability in aquatic environments.

How should I store the shorts when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ensuring they are completely dry to prevent mildew growth on the inner lining or fabric.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring becomes stuck or knotted

Gently massage the fabric around the drawstring channel to loosen the knot; avoid using sharp objects to pick at the drawstring.

Metal drain eyelet appears tarnished

Wipe the eyelet with a soft, damp cloth and ensure it is dried completely to prevent oxidation.

Elastic waistband losing tension

Ensure that the shorts have not been exposed to high-temperature dryer cycles, which are the primary cause of elastic degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Aquascutum Original Active Swim Shorts, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: Always rinse in cold, fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt water.
  2. Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash using a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the zinc-blend fabric and the elastic waistband.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the pattern and affect the elasticity.
  4. Air Dry Only: Lay the shorts flat to dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry, as high heat will damage the elastic and synthetic fibers.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, but avoid direct contact with the waistband and logo tags.
