Troubleshooting
Trouser leg length is incorrect
Select the appropriate leg length (Short, Regular, or Long) from the available options during purchase. If a mistake was made, check the return policy for exchanges.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth. Avoid using oily lubricants which can stain the fabric.
Waistband feels too tight or too loose
The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability. For a significantly better fit, consider exchanging for a different waist size if possible. The 44L size specifically refers to a 44-inch waist and Long leg length.
Fabric feels rough after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying temperatures. Using a fabric softener on a low heat tumble dry setting may help restore softness.
