FAQs
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyamide, a lightweight and durable woven fabric.
Are these shorts suitable for sports or workouts?
While comfortable and durable, these shorts are primarily designed for casual wear and a relaxed fit, not intense athletic performance. For high-impact activities, adidas offers specific performance wear.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the official adidas sizing guide. The elastic waistband and internal drawcord allow for a degree of adjustment, but starting with the correct base size is important.
Can I put these shorts in a dryer?
While machine washable, air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, choose a low heat setting to help maintain the fabric's quality and fit.
Do these shorts have real cargo pockets?
Yes, they feature functional side pockets and cargo pockets on the legs for convenient storage.
Is the Trefoil logo printed or embroidered?
The iconic adidas Originals Trefoil logo is embroidered above the hem, providing a premium finish.
Are these shorts sustainable?
Yes, they are made with 100% recycled polyamide, reflecting a commitment to using recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose around the waist.
Adjust the internal drawcord for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the shorts are consistently uncomfortable, verify your size against the adidas sizing chart.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.
Air dry the shorts flat or on a hanger immediately after washing to minimise wrinkles. If needed, iron on a low heat setting from the inside out.
Embroidered Trefoil logo seems to be lifting or damaged.
Ensure you are washing the shorts on a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat drying or ironing directly over the logo. Hand-washing or spot cleaning the logo area might also help.
Color appears to be fading.
Wash shorts with similar dark colors using a detergent designed for dark garments. Avoid direct sunlight during drying and storage for extended periods.
Pockets feel bulky or uncomfortable when filled.
The cargo pockets are designed for convenience, but overfilling them can affect the drape and comfort. Distribute items evenly or consider carrying fewer items if discomfort occurs.
