Troubleshooting
Trousers appear too long
As the trousers have a generous length (112cm), they may require hemming to achieve the desired floor-skimming effect or to suit your personal height. Professional tailoring is recommended for the cleanest finish.
Fabric losing its shape after wear
Ensure the trousers are stored correctly by hanging them. Check the care label for washing instructions and avoid excessive heat during washing or drying, which can affect the compact stretch fabric.
Creases appearing on the front seam
Iron the trousers on a cool setting, focusing on the reverse side of the fabric. Pressing carefully along the front seam will help maintain its sharp, defined appearance.
