What is the best way to care for the organic cotton material?

Troubleshooting

Belt is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the webbing is not twisted and is fed smoothly through the buckle. If it feels stiff, try slightly loosening the waistband.

Shorts feel too loose or too tight.

Utilize the integrated nylon cinch belt for fine adjustments. The elastic waistband also provides some flexibility. Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements before purchase.

Velcro on rear pockets losing grip.

Clean the velcro hooks and loops with a small brush to remove any debris or lint. Avoid excessive use of fabric softeners in the wash, as they can reduce velcro effectiveness.

Discoloration after washing.

Wash colors separately, especially during the first few washes. Use cold water and a mild detergent to preserve the original color.
