FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

The Chums Cargo Shorts are made from 100% cotton.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart, which typically provides waist measurements in UK sizing. Measure your waist and compare it to the chart.

Are the cargo pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the cargo pockets are designed to be roomy and should accommodate most standard smartphones, along with other essentials. They also feature button-down flaps for added security.

Can I wear these shorts in wet conditions?

While the cotton fabric is breathable, it is not water-resistant. It will absorb water if exposed to rain or immersion. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

What is the best way to wash these shorts?

They are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them in cold water with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Do the elasticated sides mean these are 'stretchy' shorts?

The side elastication provides flexibility and a more comfortable fit around the waist, but the primary fabric is 100% cotton, which has minimal inherent stretch.

Are there other color options available for this style?

While this guide focuses on the blue variant, Chums may offer this cargo short style in other colors. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The side elastication offers some flexibility, but if the waist is fundamentally too small, consider a larger size. Check the product's size guide for accurate measurements.

Pockets do not close securely.

Make sure the buttons on the cargo pockets are fully fastened. If a button is loose or damaged, it may require repair.

Fabric appears faded after washing.

Wash in cold water and consider turning the shorts inside out before washing. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.

Shrinkage after drying.

Use a low heat setting for tumble drying or opt for air drying. Avoid high heat, which can cause cotton to shrink.
