FAQs
What does 'Oversized' and 'Slouchy' fit mean for these jorts?
The 'Oversized' and 'Slouchy' fit refers to a deliberately loose and relaxed silhouette that is wider and more voluminous than a standard fit. The leg opening is also wider, and the shorts fall to the knee, creating a distinct retro aesthetic.
How do I adjust the drawstring?
The drawstring is located at the waist. You can pull both ends to tighten the waist for a snugger fit or loosen them to allow for more room. Ensure the ends are tied or secured to maintain the desired fit.
Is the denim stretchy?
No, these jorts are made from 10oz denim containing all cotton and no stretch. This provides an authentic denim feel and structure.
How should I care for the Mid Stone wash?
To preserve the Mid Stone wash with its whiskering and fading, machine wash cold with like colors, inside out. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low or hang dry. This helps maintain the vintage appearance.
Can these be worn by women?
While designed for men, the oversized and adjustable nature may allow some women to wear them. Sizing would need to be carefully considered based on desired fit and the men's sizing chart.
What does 'Jort' mean?
A 'jort' is a term typically used to describe denim shorts that are longer, often resembling cut-off jeans. These are designed with a specific knee-length, retro style in mind.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring is difficult to adjust or gets stuck.
Ensure the drawstring channel is free of debris. If the drawstring knot is too tight, loosen it before pulling. If the drawstring material is rough, it may soften with washing.
Denim feels stiff.
Cotton denim, especially non-stretch, can feel stiff initially. Wear the shorts frequently to break them in. Washing them according to care instructions can also help soften the fabric over time.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Consult the detailed size chart provided by Lee for accurate measurements. The oversized fit is intentional; consider this when selecting your size. If unsure, comparing measurements to a well-fitting pair of shorts can be helpful.
Fading or whiskering looks uneven.
The nature of denim washes means variations can occur, contributing to the unique character of each garment. This is generally considered a desirable aspect of the aesthetic.
