FAQs
Are these shorts true to size?
The Oatley shorts are generally true to size, but the linen blend may relax slightly throughout the day. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or relaxed fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. Linen can shrink under high heat. Air drying is the best way to maintain the shape and longevity of the garment.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
While the shorts feature multiple pockets, they are primarily designed for small, lightweight items. A large smartphone may feel heavy or sit awkwardly.
Is the material see-through?
The fabric is designed for summer comfort and is opaque; however, as with any light-colored linen garment, wearing nude-colored undergarments is recommended for complete coverage.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Being a linen blend, these shorts have a natural structure rather than elastic stretch. The comfort is derived from the breathable fit rather than spandex content.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after travel.
Hang the shorts in the bathroom while taking a hot shower; the steam will naturally help relax the linen fibers and smooth out wrinkles.
Waist fit feeling too loose or tight.
The paperbag waist design is intended to be adjustable. Ensure the waistband is pulled to your preferred height and adjusted comfortably before tightening the accompanying belt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their fit and aesthetic, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid high temperatures which can cause the linen fibers to shrink.
- Drying: Air dry naturally on a hanger to minimize wrinkles. Do not tumble dry unless on a very low heat setting.
- Ironing: If needed, iron while slightly damp on a low heat setting to remove stubborn creases.
- Storage: Hang them in a ventilated closet to prevent deep-set wrinkles from forming while not in use.
