FAQs
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable, but we recommend a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the linen fibers.
Do these shorts run true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing; however, the paperbag waist is designed to be adjustable via the fit of the material.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is generally advised to air dry linen shorts to prevent shrinkage and excessive creasing.
What is the primary material used?
These shorts are crafted primarily from high-quality linen, chosen for its breathability and lightweight feel.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While they offer good mobility, they are designed more for casual leisure, beach, or city wear rather than intensive technical hiking.
Does the blue color fade easily?
To prevent color fading, wash the shorts inside out and avoid drying them in direct, harsh sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after sitting
Linen naturally wrinkles; mist the area with a little water and smooth with your hand, or use a handheld steamer to quickly refresh the fabric.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle or shake the garment out vigorously while damp before hanging to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their shape and fabric quality, always check the internal care label. Due to the linen material, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can lead to shrinkage and exacerbate wrinkling; instead, air dry the garment on a hanger to keep the paperbag waist structure intact. When ironing, use a low-heat setting with steam while the fabric is slightly damp for best results. These shorts are designed to fit true to size based on UK standard sizing.
