FAQs

What is the primary material used?

These shorts are constructed from heavy cotton poplin.

How should I choose the right size?

The fit is designed to be oversized, so prioritize your waist measurement; the drawstring provides flexibility for tightening.

Are these shorts machine washable?

While durable, it is recommended to hand wash in cold water or dry clean to preserve the architectural shape of the poplin.

What does 'drop-crotch' mean for the fit?

It means the inseam sits lower than standard shorts, creating a looser, more relaxed look typical of Rick Owens designs.

Can these be worn for athletic activities?

While the elastic waistband allows for movement, the heavy poplin material is intended more for fashion and casual streetwear than high-intensity sports.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring slipping through the waistband

Use a safety pin to re-thread the drawstring through the eyelets if it pulls out during the laundry cycle.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a light garment steamer to release wrinkles, as direct iron heat may flatten the architectural structure of the poplin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality heavy cotton poplin construction
  • Distinctive architectural aesthetic
  • Comfortable elastic waistband
  • Adjustable drawstring for versatile sizing

Cons

  • Oversized fit may overwhelm smaller frames
  • Specific drop-crotch design is not suited for formal settings
  • Heavyweight material might be warm in extreme summer climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure these shorts maintain their structural integrity, it is recommended to follow professional dry cleaning protocols or cold hand-wash cycles. Because of the heavy poplin, avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause unwanted shrinking or damage to the fabric fibers. When styling, coordinate these with monochromatic pieces to emphasize the dramatic cut of the shorts. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely to account for the weight of the heavier cotton fabric.
