FAQs
What is the material of the Lee Pleated Bermuda shorts?
The shorts are made from a cotton-linen blend jersey fabric.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
No, the fabric is designed to have no stretch, providing a more structured feel and helping the garment hold its shape.
How should I adjust the waist?
The shorts feature an adjustable tie at the waist, which you can tie to create a custom, secure fit.
What is the 'Natural' color?
The 'Natural' color is described as a creamy white shade.
Are these shorts suitable for all seasons?
These shorts are best suited for warmer weather due to their material and style. They can be layered for cooler transitional periods.
How do I care for the cotton-linen blend?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang dry. Iron on a medium setting if needed, potentially while slightly damp.
What does 'tonal stitching' mean?
Tonal stitching means the thread used for sewing matches the color of the fabric, creating a seamless and clean visual appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff or rigid.
This is characteristic of the no-stretch cotton-linen blend designed for structure. Wear them a few times to allow the fabric to soften with body heat and movement. Avoid excessive washing, which can stiffen linen blends.
Wrinkles are difficult to remove.
Try ironing the shorts while they are still slightly damp from washing, or use a steamer. A pressing cloth can also help prevent scorching on the cotton-linen blend.
Adjustable tie is difficult to secure.
Ensure the tie is threaded through all loops correctly and is not twisted. Practice tying a firm knot or bow to hold the desired waist adjustment.
