Shrinkage after washing

Follow care instructions carefully. Wash in warm water and tumble dry on low heat to minimize potential shrinkage. Consider air drying for best results.

Color bleeding on other garments

Wash with similar colors, especially for the first few washes. Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the outer design and prevent color transfer.
