FAQs

What material are these shorts made of?

These shorts are made from 100% linen, a natural, breathable fiber perfect for warm weather.

How should I choose the right size?

These shorts follow a Regular fit; the Size 16 corresponds to standard UK sizing for a tailored yet comfortable feel.

Can I tumble dry these shorts?

It is generally recommended to air dry linen items to prevent shrinking and preserve the integrity of the fabric.

Are these shorts suitable for formal events?

They are ideal for smart-casual garden events or brunch, but are not intended for strictly formal dress codes.

Does the waist have any stretch?

As a classic woven linen short, they are designed with a structured waistband rather than an elasticated one.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles after sitting

Linen naturally wrinkles; use a handheld steamer or a light water spray and gentle hand-smoothing to release creases between wears.

Hem turn-up losing its structure

Lightly press the hem with an iron while ensuring the fold is aligned correctly to restore the sharp, tailored look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your linen shorts, observe the following care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle or delicate cycle using cold water to prevent unnecessary stress on the linen fibers.
  2. Drying: Air dry is recommended; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can cause the linen to shrink or lose its tailored shape.
  3. Ironing: Use a steam iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp to effectively remove wrinkles without damaging the material.
  4. Storage: Store flat or hanging to keep the turn-up hem crisp and avoid deep-set creases.
