The Lee Jort shorts are crafted from 10oz, 100% cotton non-stretch denim in a Mid Stone finish, offering an authentic structure and a lightweight feel. They feature a wide, slouchy cut that falls to the knee, a drawstring for adjustability, functional pockets, and pronounced whiskering and fading for a lived-in look.

FAQs
What does 'Jort' mean?
A 'Jort' is a portmanteau of 'jeans' and 'shorts,' referring to denim shorts, often with a longer, baggier fit, reminiscent of '90s fashion.
What is the material of the shorts?
The shorts are made from 10oz, 100% cotton denim with no stretch.
How do I adjust the fit of the shorts?
The shorts feature an adjustable drawstring at the waist, which can be tightened or loosened to achieve your desired fit.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the 100% cotton denim is lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable for warm weather.
How do I care for the Mid Stone finish?
To preserve the Mid Stone finish, whiskering, and fading, wash cold with like colors inside out and tumble dry low or hang dry.
What is the difference between the 'Mid Stone' and 'Blue' finishes?
The 'Mid Stone' finish typically refers to a specific washed denim color with pronounced fading and whiskering, giving a vintage look. 'Blue' is a more general term that might indicate a different wash or shade.
Can I wear these for physical activity?
While they offer a relaxed fit and freedom of movement, the non-stretch denim might be less ideal for intense athletic activities compared to performance-specific shorts. They are best suited for casual wear and light activity.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too large or baggy.
Utilize the drawstring to tighten the waist for a more secure and personalized fit. Consider pairing with looser-fitting tops to balance the silhouette.
Denim feels stiff initially.
The 10oz, non-stretch denim will soften with wear and washing. Follow care instructions for washing and drying to expedite the softening process.
Fading or whiskering appears uneven after washing.
Ensure you are washing the shorts inside out with like colors on a cold setting. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive agitation. Air drying can also help maintain the original wash pattern.
