FAQs

Are these shorts truly unisex?

Yes, the shorts are designed with a unisex style in mind. However, women may find it beneficial to size down for a more tailored fit, as recommended in the product description.

What does 'garment dyed' mean?

Garment dyeing means the shorts are dyed after they have been constructed. This process often results in a richer, more unique color depth and a softer feel compared to fabric dyed before construction. It can also lead to slight variations in color, which is part of the aesthetic.

How should I care for the organic cotton to maintain its quality?

To maintain the quality and color, machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and iron on a low setting if needed.

What makes these shorts eco-friendly?

They are made from 100% organic cotton and use environmentally friendly dyes. The production is also PETA Approved Vegan and manufactured in Portugal, suggesting a focus on ethical and sustainable practices.

Can I wear these shorts in colder weather?

While designed for warmer days, the durable cotton twill can be worn in cooler weather as well, perhaps layered with tights or worn with warmer tops and footwear.

What is the benefit of the anti-pilling fabric?

The anti-pilling treatment helps the fabric resist the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the shorts maintain a smoother appearance and feel over time, even with regular wear and washing.

Where are these shorts made?

These shorts are made in Portugal.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel stiff after washing

This can be due to the garment-dying process. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat can help soften the fabric. Avoid harsh detergents.

Color seems to fade unevenly

This is often an intended characteristic of garment-dying, giving a unique, vintage look. Ensure you are washing with similar colors and avoiding bleach.

Elastic waistband feels too loose or tight

The elastic waistband is designed for comfort. If it feels too loose, consider if a smaller size would have provided a snugger fit. If too tight, gentle stretching after washing may help slightly, or consult sizing recommendations.
