FAQs
What material are the Oatley Chino Shorts made of?
These specific shorts are made from linen, known for its breathability and natural comfort in warm climates.
Do these shorts run true to size?
The fit is generally standard for Mountain Warehouse women's sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for summer, some users prefer to size up.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry linen items to prevent potential shrinkage and maintain the longevity of the fabric.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While durable enough for light walks, they are primarily designed for casual wear. For intense hiking, a dedicated technical short with moisture-wicking synthetic fabrics may be more appropriate.
Does the paperbag waist have an elastic band?
The paperbag waist typically utilizes a combination of structural tailoring and ties to create the gathered effect.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a low-heat iron or a handheld steamer to smooth out creases.
Waistband feeling too tight or loose
The paperbag design is intended to be cinched; adjust the integrated tie or belt to redistribute the gathered fabric until a comfortable fit is achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shorts are made from linen, they require specific care to remain in top condition. Always check the internal garment tag for the most accurate washing instructions, but generally, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. To maintain the crisp look of the paperbag waist, reshape the garment while damp and hang dry in the shade to prevent fading. Avoid excessive tumble drying, as high heat can cause the natural fibers to shrink or become brittle over time.
