FAQs
Are these shorts true to size?
Yes, they follow standard adult sizing; this specific pair is an XL, which fits individuals looking for a slightly more relaxed or larger waist accommodate.
Can these shorts be worn outside of the water?
Absolutely, the classic checkered aesthetic makes them highly suitable for casual wear at beachside cafes or resort lounges.
What is the purpose of the zinc material?

Is the back pocket large enough for a phone?
The patch pocket is intended for small, lightweight items like a room key or a credit card; it is not recommended for larger electronics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Aquascutum shorts, rinse them thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use in chlorinated or salt water to prevent mineral buildup on the zinc-infused fabric. When cleaning, machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, which can degrade the elastic and the integrity of the metal hardware. It is recommended to air dry these shorts in the shade, as direct, intense sunlight can cause fading of the intricate checkered pattern over extended periods.
