FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
The shorts finish mid-to-low thigh. The narrow turn-up hem can be turned down for a little extra length, but a specific inseam measurement is not provided.
Are these shorts suitable for athletic activities?
With a hint of stretch for added comfort and flexibility, they are suitable for light activities. However, they are primarily designed for casual wear rather than high-intensity sports.
What does '20% recycled cotton' mean for the material?
It means that 20% of the cotton used in the fabric comes from pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled cotton sources, contributing to sustainability.
How do I care for the jet black color?
Wash in cold water with similar colors, inside out, and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry to best maintain the deep black hue.
Can the hem be permanently altered?
The hem is designed to be a turn-up and can be unrolled. For permanent alteration, it is recommended to consult a tailor.
What is the fit like compared to slim-fit shorts?
These are a 'Regular Fit', meaning they offer a standard, comfortable silhouette that is not tight. Slim-fit shorts would be more tailored and closer to the leg.
Troubleshooting
Color fading after washing
Ensure you are washing with like colors in cold water and avoid harsh detergents. Tumble drying on low heat or air drying can also help preserve color.
Stretch fabric feels too loose over time
This is common with stretch fabrics. Ensure the shorts are not overly tight initially. If they become too loose, try a gentle wash cycle or hang dry.
Hem appears uneven after adjustment
Ensure the turn-up is even before washing or wearing. If needed, iron the hem to create a sharper crease for a more uniform appearance.
