FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

The shorts are made from durable denim, specifically 100% cotton as is typical for classic denim shorts.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the size guide provided by The Ragged Priest, paying close attention to waist measurements. This particular item is listed as size S, with a UK waist size of 30.

Can I wear these shorts in warm weather?

Yes, denim shorts are generally suitable for warm weather due to their breathable fabric and relaxed fit.

Are these shorts suitable for machine washing?

Yes, they are machine washable. However, always follow the care instructions to maintain fabric quality and color.

What is the rise of these shorts?

These shorts feature a mid-rise waistband, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist.

Do these shorts have any stretch?

As they are made from 100% cotton denim, they typically have minimal to no stretch. The fit relies on the cut and fabric drape.

How do I care for the purple color?

To preserve the purple color, wash in cold water with like colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Turning them inside out before washing also helps.

Troubleshooting

Color fading after washing

Wash in cold water, use a mild detergent, and turn the shorts inside out before washing. Consider adding a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle for the first wash to help set the color.

Shrinkage after drying

Avoid high heat settings in the dryer. Opt for air drying or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. If shrinkage has occurred, you can try gently stretching the fabric while damp.

Fabric feels stiff

This is common with new denim. Wearing the shorts and natural movement will soften the fabric over time. Additional washes can also help.

Unexpected wear or tears

Inspect seams and stress points. If tears are minor, consider a simple repair. If the denim is fundamentally compromised, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As apparel, these shorts require no technical setup. They are compatible with standard women's clothing sizes. Care instructions are essential for maintaining the quality and appearance of the denim:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. It is recommended to turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh stain removers, as they can damage the fabric and color.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Over-drying can cause shrinkage and damage the denim fibers.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a medium setting. Avoid ironing directly on any printed details if present (though these shorts have a clean finish).
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Fold neatly or hang to prevent excessive creasing.
