FAQs
What does GOTS certified mean?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification means the product meets strict environmental and social criteria throughout its supply chain, from raw material cultivation to manufacturing, ensuring organic status and socially responsible production.
How do I know if I'm buying the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Kite or the retailer, cross-referencing with your child's measurements. The size '5' in this product refers to a UK children's size 5.
Can these shorts be worn in colder weather?
While made of cotton, these shorts are best suited for warmer weather or indoor activities. For colder weather, layering with tights or wearing warmer trousers is recommended.
Are the ties functional or just decorative?
The cord drawstring ties are functional and can be used to adjust the fit of the elasticated waistband.
What is dobby diamond jacquard fabric?
It's a type of woven fabric that uses a dobby loom to create a textured pattern, in this case, a diamond design, directly into the material.
How should I care for the organic cotton to make it last?
Machine wash at 30 or 40 degrees Celsius with mild detergent and similar colors. Avoid bleach and high-heat tumble drying. Air drying is best. Iron on a medium setting if needed.
Can these shorts be machine dried?
While machine washable, tumble drying is not recommended as it can lead to shrinkage and affect the fabric's texture. Air drying is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shorts appear to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (30 or 40 degrees Celsius) and avoid high heat tumble drying. Air drying is preferred.
Elasticated waistband feels too tight or too loose
The waistband features adjustable ties. Tighten or loosen these ties to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with organic cotton. A gentle iron or simply wearing the shorts can help soften the fabric. Ensure you are using a mild detergent.
