What is the fit like?

Troubleshooting

Pockets feel bulky when not in use

Tuck away the holster pockets into the designated slots to reduce bulk.

Waistband feels too tight or loose

The half elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct size. The gripper elastic is designed to hold garments, not significantly adjust waist size.

Fabric feels stiff initially

This is normal for durable workwear fabrics. The shorts will soften with washing and continued wear.

Discoloration after washing

Follow the care instructions precisely, washing with similar colors and using the recommended temperature. The twill fabric has excellent dye retention, but improper washing can affect this.
