Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after wear.
Gently steam or iron the shorts on a low setting. For minor wrinkles, hanging them in a steamy bathroom can also help.
Shrinkage after washing.
Always follow the recommended care instructions. If shrinkage has occurred, avoid further machine washing and opt for professional dry cleaning.
Loss of shape in the pleats.
Ensure proper ironing technique, using a pressing cloth and focusing on pressing the pleats flat while the fabric is slightly damp.
Color fading.
Avoid drying in direct sunlight. Store away from direct light sources when not in use.
