FAQs
What is the key difference between these and standard shorts?
The Lee Loose Drawstring Jort features an oversized, slouchy cut that falls to the knee and includes an adjustable drawstring, distinguishing it from more tailored or classic-fit shorts.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, they are made from lightweight 10oz all-cotton denim, which offers good breathability and comfort for warmer temperatures.
What does 'Mid Stone finish' mean?
It refers to the specific washing process applied to the denim, resulting in a medium blue shade with deliberate whiskering (crease marks) and fading through the thigh area to give a pre-worn, vintage appearance.
Can I wear these for athletic activities?
While comfortable for light movement, the non-stretch, 10oz denim is best suited for casual wear rather than intense athletic activities where maximum flexibility is required.
How do I care for the vintage wash?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach to preserve the unique wash effects.
What sizes are available?
These shorts are available in various men's waist sizes, including 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38, within the adult male sizing range.
Is the drawstring functional or just decorative?
The drawstring is fully functional and allows you to adjust the waist for a more secure and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too large/small
Adjust the drawstring for a tighter or looser fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size from the available range.
Denim feels stiff initially
This is typical for new, non-stretch denim. Wash them once according to the care instructions to soften the fabric. Continued wear will also break them in.
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not twisted. If it becomes permanently creased, try ironing it flat or gently stretching it.
Color fading unevenly
This can be a characteristic of the intended vintage wash. To minimize further uneven fading, wash inside out with like colors and avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleaching.
