FAQs

What material are these shorts made of?

The Carhartt WIP Marv Short "Black Stone Washed" is constructed from a blend of durable polyester and cotton, featuring moisture-wicking properties and a stone-washed finish.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the specific size chart provided for the Marv Short. Pay attention to the waist measurements and the description of the fit (loose fit, regular waist).

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the product description mentions practical pockets with zippers, offering secure storage for essentials.

What is the 'stone washed' finish?

The stone washed finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that gives it a pre-worn, slightly faded, and softened look, adding character to the garment.

Can I wear these shorts for work?

While designed with workwear durability, their relaxed fit and refined style also make them suitable for casual wear. They are well-suited for light tasks or jobs where freedom of movement and comfort are key.

How should I wash these shorts to maintain their appearance?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the fabric and the stone-washed finish.

Does the waistband offer flexibility?

Yes, the shorts feature an elasticated waistband at the back, which provides flexibility and a more comfortable, secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose or too tight

Check the size guide carefully before purchasing. The elasticated back waistband provides some adjustability. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if another size or a different Carhartt WIP model would be more suitable.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper area is free of debris. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help smooth its movement.

Stitching appears to be coming undone

Inspect the area carefully. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed. For more significant seam issues, contact customer support or a tailor for repair, especially if the item is under warranty.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with durable cotton blends. Try tumble drying on a low setting with a dryer sheet or a clean tennis ball to soften the fabric. Ensure you are following the recommended cold wash and low tumble dry settings.
