Troubleshooting

Trousers appear creased after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Iron on a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a steam iron.

Belt not staying in place

Ensure the belt is securely fastened and threaded through all belt loops. If the issue persists, consider the fit around the waist which might need adjustment for a more secure hold.

Fabric losing its smooth finish

Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying. Gentle washing and air drying or low heat tumble drying, as per care instructions, will help maintain the fabric's finish.

Trouser length is not ideal with specific shoes

The 110cm length is designed for versatility. For significant length adjustments, consult a professional tailor for alterations to achieve a perfect hem for your preferred footwear.
