FAQs
What does 'Clean Edge' refer to?
'Clean Edge' refers to the refined, finished hem of the shorts, providing a more polished look compared to raw or distressed edges.
What is the fabric composition?
The shorts are made from a blend of 75% regenerative cotton and 25% recycled cotton, offering a durable and more sustainable option.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the G-Star sizing guide for men's waist measurements. The provided model information (170cm, size 32/32) can serve as a general reference.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
The knee length and cotton blend make them suitable for warm weather, though the stiff fabric might feel warmer than lighter materials initially.
Can I machine dry these shorts?
Tumble drying on low heat is possible, but hang drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and prolong the life of the shorts.
What is the rise of the waistband?
The shorts feature a mid-rise waistband, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist.
Does the style include belt loops?
While not explicitly stated, the regular fit and mid-rise waist typically imply the presence of belt loops for adjustable fit, although specific details would need confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff initially.
This is typical for the stiff denim blend. Wear them for extended periods, wash them according to care instructions (inside out), and consider a gentle tumble dry to help break in the fabric.
Button closure is difficult.
Ensure the buttonhole is clear. If new, the buttonhole may be tight. Gently work the button through a few times to loosen it. Avoid excessive force.
Color fading after washing.
Wash the shorts inside out in cold water with like colors, as per care instructions, to minimize color loss. Avoid harsh detergents.
