FAQs

What is the material composition of the Marv Short?

The Marv Short is primarily made from 100% cotton (Lenexa twill) for the midweight versions. Some variants may incorporate a cotton-polyester blend for enhanced durability and moisture management.

How does the 'loose fit' translate to sizing?

The 'loose fit' means the shorts are designed with extra room around the legs and seat for comfort and ease of movement. It's recommended to consult the size chart for specific waist and length measurements.

What does 'stone washed' mean for the appearance?

Stone washing is a finishing process that gives the fabric a pre-worn, softened look and feel. Each item can have slight variations in color and texture due to this process.

Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?

While made from breathable cotton twill, their midweight nature makes them best suited for moderate to warm conditions. For extremely high temperatures, lighter fabrics might offer more comfort.

How should I care for the elasticated waistband?

Machine wash cold and avoid high heat drying. High temperatures can degrade the elasticity of the waistband over time.

Can the front pleats be ironed out?

The pleats are a design feature. While you can iron them, they are intended to remain. Ironing on a low setting, preferably inside out, is recommended if necessary.

What is the benefit of the reinforced stitching?

The reinforced stitching, often using bar tacks at stress points like pocket corners and seams, significantly increases the durability and lifespan of the shorts, preventing tears and wear in high-impact areas.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose at the waist

Utilize the elasticated back waistband for a snugger fit. For a more permanent adjustment, consider a belt.

Stitching appears to be unraveling

Inspect the area. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed. If significant seams are opening, contact customer support regarding potential defects.

Color fading after washing

Ensure you are washing the shorts inside out in cold water with like colors, and avoid harsh detergents. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat also helps preserve color.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This is common with cotton twill. The fabric will soften with continued wear and subsequent washes. You can also try a low-heat tumble dry with a dryer ball.
