FAQs

What material are the Alina shorts made from?

The shorts are crafted from wool, which provides a premium feel and structured look.

Can I put these shorts in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to dry clean these shorts to prevent damage to the wool and the specialized balloon hem construction.

How does the fit run?

They are designed with a regular fit; it is recommended to purchase your usual size.

Do these shorts have pockets?

The design focuses on a clean silhouette; please check the physical garment, but they are primarily slip-on shorts with an elasticated waist.

Are these suitable for hot summer weather?

Because they are made from wool, they are better suited for mild or cool-weather transitions rather than extreme summer heat.

What is the benefit of the balloon hem?

The balloon hem provides a unique, contemporary voluminous shape that distinguishes these shorts from standard straight-cut designs.

Troubleshooting

Visible lint or pilling on the wool surface

Gently use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to remove surface pills without damaging the wool fibers.

Fabric appears wrinkled

Do not iron directly. Use a handheld garment steamer at a safe distance to remove wrinkles, or have them professionally pressed.

Waistband feels slightly loose after long-term wear

Store the garment properly on a hanger and avoid folding them for long periods to preserve the elastic's tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality wool material provides warmth and durability
  • Unique balloon hem silhouette offers a modern, trendy aesthetic
  • Partially elasticated waistband allows for an adjustable, comfortable fit
  • Lined interior prevents itching and improves the overall drape
  • Versatile checkered design pairs easily with various tops

Cons

  • Wool fabric requires professional dry cleaning for best maintenance
  • The voluminous balloon hem may not suit those who prefer slim-fit styles
  • Limited stretch compared to synthetic athletic shorts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure these shorts maintain their shape and structural integrity, always prioritize professional dry cleaning. Given their wool composition, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can cause shrinkage and damage to the elastic elements of the balloon hem. When storing, hang them on a padded hanger to prevent the waistband from stretching or the fabric from creasing. They are designed to fit true to size as a regular fit garment, so choose your standard size for the best result. Avoid direct heat sources when drying if they happen to get damp, as wool is sensitive to high temperatures.
