FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
While they are comfortable for leisurely strolls and light walking, they are primarily designed for casual wear rather than intense, technical hiking.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Oatley shorts are designed for an adult fit. We recommend referencing the standard UK size 18 measurements for the best waist and hip comfort.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is generally recommended to air dry linen blends to avoid shrinkage and excessive wrinkling.
What is the primary material composition?
These shorts are made from a linen blend, which combines the natural breathability of linen with the durability of other fibers.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials. While they fit items like keys or lip balm comfortably, they may not securely hold larger modern smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Visible creases after storage
Lightly mist the fabric with water and hang the shorts in a steamy bathroom to help the wrinkles release.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle or shake the garment firmly before hanging it to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for an easy, 'pull-on-and-go' experience. For sizing, the UK 18 size provides a comfortable fit for the intended body measurements. To maintain the quality of the linen blend, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Always hang-dry the shorts to minimize creasing and prevent shrinkage associated with high-heat tumble drying. If ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp to ensure the best results.
