Carhartt WIP Shorts - Beige - S

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
