FAQs
What does 'jort' mean?
A 'jort' is a portmanteau of 'jean' and 'short,' referring to denim shorts.
Are these jorts stretchy?
No, these jorts are made from 100% cotton and are stretch-free, designed to offer an authentic, rigid denim feel.
What does 'post-consumer waste recycled cotton' mean?
This means the cotton used in the fabric was previously used by consumers (e.g., in old garments) and has been recycled into new yarn and fabric.
How should I wash these jorts?
They are machine washable. It's recommended to wash them with similar colors in cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry.
What is the 'Cyrus' wash?
Cyrus is the name of the clean, rich blue dye and finish applied to the denim, which enhances the visibility of the authentic twill weave.
Do these jorts have carpenter-specific features?
Yes, they channel heritage Carpenter style, which typically includes features like a hammer loop and additional pockets, though the exact details may vary.
Troubleshooting
Denim feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The stretch-free denim is designed to feel rigid. Wear the jorts frequently to allow them to break in and mold to your body. Washing them once before the first wear can also help soften the fabric.
Color fading after washing.
Wash inside out with similar colors in cold water to minimize color loss. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Fit is too loose or too tight in specific areas.
Refer to the size chart before purchasing. If the fit is slightly off, consider if a different size from the available range would be more suitable. Due to the rigid nature, alterations may be limited.
