Vans Authentic Chino Loose Shorts - Black - L

They are made from a blend of 62% polyester, 36% cotton, and 2% elastane.

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry low and remove promptly. Iron on a warm setting if necessary, but do not iron any decorative elements.

The shorts are designed with a 'Loose fit' and 'Relaxed fit', often described as 'Oversized'. It is recommended to check the specific size chart and consider your preferred fit. If you typically wear a size L, the L may fit more loosely than expected.

A garment-washed finish means the shorts are washed after construction, giving them a softer feel and a slightly pre-worn look, similar to a pair of jeans that have been washed a few times.

They feature classic chino styling with a flat front, a zipper fly with button closure, front slash pockets, and back welt pockets, along with a subtle Vans flag label.

Yes, they incorporate 2% elastane in their fabric blend, providing stretch for increased comfort and ease of movement.

The shorts are described as having a 'Long leg / Bermuda length', indicating a longer inseam compared to standard shorts.

Consider the intended 'Loose' and 'Oversized' fit. If a more regular fit is desired, explore other Vans chino models or consult sizing charts carefully. Washing and drying on higher heat settings might cause slight shrinkage, but this is not guaranteed.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a dry lubricant can sometimes help smooth operation.

To minimize pilling and fabric wear, always wash inside out in cold water and consider air drying or tumble drying on a low setting. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive washing cycles.
