FAQs
What is the primary material of these shorts?
The shorts are made from a midweight French terry fabric, primarily composed of 58% cotton, 23% rayon, and 19% polyester. The front pockets are 100% cotton, and the waistband is a blend of 49% rayon, 47% cotton, and 4% elastane.
How should I wash the Nike Alumni French Terry Shorts?
You can machine wash them using a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colors. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Are these shorts suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer comfort and breathability for light activities like stretching or casual gym sessions, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lounging due to their relaxed fit and French terry material.
What does 'raw hem detailing' mean?
Raw hem detailing means the edge of the shorts at the leg opening is left unfinished, giving a frayed, casual appearance. This is a stylistic choice and does not typically affect the functionality.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The shorts feature an elastic waistband with an external drawcord for adjustability. Refer to the sizing chart and consider your preferred fit (relaxed through seat and thighs) when selecting your size.
Can I store valuables securely in the pockets?
The shorts have open hand pockets on the sides and one back pocket with a hidden press-stud closure. The back pocket offers more security for small items like keys or cards.
Where are these shorts made?
These shorts are imported.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the fit using the external drawcord. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fabric feels rough after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Drawcord comes out
Use a safety pin or a loop turner to carefully re-thread the drawcord through the waistband.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling can occur with friction. Wash inside out and consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
