FAQs
Are these shorts true to size?
Yes, they follow standard waist sizing. If you prefer a more secure fit, you can use a belt, as the wide-leg cut provides extra room in the thighs.
Can these be worn for hiking?
While durable, the cotton denim material is heavier than technical hiking shorts. They are best suited for urban or casual outdoor environments.
How do I maintain the black color?
Wash sparingly in cold water and keep the garment out of direct sunlight when air drying to prevent UV bleaching.
Is the material heavy?
They use standard denim, which provides a sturdy feel that is substantial yet appropriate for summer and spring wear.
What is the difference between these and regular fit shorts?
The Wide 5 line features a wider, more relaxed cut through the leg, offering more room for movement compared to standard-fit shorts.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Denim naturally softens with wear; however, you can use a small amount of fabric softener in the next wash or tumble dry on a low 'air fluff' setting for 10 minutes.
Color starting to fade
Always wash with like-colored items, use detergents specifically formulated for dark clothes, and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wide 5 Shorts maintain their shape and color, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Turn the shorts inside out before placing them in the machine. Use cold water on a delicate cycle to prevent fading of the black dye.
- Drying: Air dry is highly recommended. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause fabric shrinkage and damage the integrity of the denim fibers.
- Storage: Hang the shorts using a pants hanger or fold them neatly to avoid unnecessary creasing along the wide-leg panels.
- Compatibility: These shorts feature a standard waist sizing (e.g., 36). They are compatible with most standard-width leather or webbed belts if a more cinched waist fit is desired.
