Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled

Gently steam the shorts or iron on a cool setting with a pressing cloth. For minor wrinkles, hanging them in a steamy bathroom can also help.

Fabric feels stiff after storage

Lightly steam the garment to soften the linen blend. Ensure the shorts are stored properly to avoid excessive creasing.
