FAQs
Are these shorts truly unisex?
Yes, the design is intended for both men and women. However, women may find that sizing down one size provides a more tailored fit, as recommended in the product description.
What does 'garment dyed' mean for the shorts?
Garment dyeing means the shorts are sewn first and then dyed. This process often results in a softer fabric feel and a slightly unique, often richer or more muted, color tone compared to fabric-dyed items.
How durable is the 100% organic cotton material?
Organic cotton is known for its strength and durability. Combined with the anti-pilling treatment and quality Portuguese manufacturing, these shorts are built to last.
Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?
While ideal for warmer days, the shorts can be layered with tights or worn with boots and a warmer top for cooler weather, offering year-round versatility.
What is the environmental impact of these shorts?
The shorts are made with 100% organic cotton and environmentally friendly dyes, and are PETA Approved Vegan, significantly reducing their environmental footprint compared to conventional apparel.
How should I wash these shorts to preserve the color?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. For best results, air dry or tumble dry on low.
What is the fabric weight of these shorts?
The fabric weight is 200g, which is a medium-weight cotton twill suitable for durable shorts that still maintain comfort and drape well.
Troubleshooting
Color fading too quickly
Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
Elastic waistband feels too loose or too tight
While the elastic is designed for comfort, significant fit issues might indicate an incorrect size. Consult the size chart for accurate measurements. Note that slight stretching can occur over time with wear.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Though treated for anti-pilling, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Shrinkage after washing
The shorts are pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. If shrinkage occurs, ensure you followed the cold wash and low tumble dry/air dry instructions. Gentle stretching can sometimes restore the original shape.
