At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily urban wear and commuting where the added stretch provides essential comfort for cycling or long walks.
• Skateboarding and outdoor activities that require an abrasion-resistant fabric with enough flexibility for movement.
• Building a sustainable wardrobe by choosing garments made with certified recycled polyester components.
• Casual social settings where a clean, classic chino silhouette is preferred over more technical or athletic styles.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a regular fit, offering a comfortable, classic silhouette that is neither too restrictive nor overly baggy.
• The 2% spandex inclusion is vital for comfort, allowing the fabric to move with your body and return to its original shape.
• The 19 inch outseam provides a traditional look that usually sits just above the knee, depending on your height and preference.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the cotton-rich blend and added stretch provide a reliable and accommodating fit from the first wear.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle up to 30°C to preserve the integrity of the recycled polyester and the spandex stretch.
• Wash with similar dark colours to maintain the depth of the Black pigment and prevent colour transfer.
• Hang the shorts to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, avoiding the tumble dryer to prevent potential shrinkage and fibre damage.
• Use a cool iron if necessary to maintain the crisp chino look, though the polyester content helps keep the fabric relatively crease-resistant.
• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the elastic fibres and the recycled materials.

Our Brixton Santo Chino Shorts FAQs

1. What is REPREVE polyester?
   It is a leading brand of recycled fibre made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles, helping to divert waste from landfills and oceans.

2. Are these shorts heavy?
   At 313gsm, they are a solid midweight, meaning they feel much more substantial and durable than cheap, thin cotton shorts.

3. Do the rivets make them uncomfortable?
   Not at all, the rivets are positioned on the belt loops for structural reinforcement and are polished flat for a smooth, snag-free finish.

4. Is the black colour prone to fading?
   The polyester blend helps the fabric hold its colour better than 100% cotton, but washing on a cool, inside-out cycle will further extend the life of the dye.
