Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a relaxed fit, providing plenty of room through the leg for a breezy, comfortable experience.
• The 200GSM seersucker fabric provides a crisp yet soft drape that naturally resists clinging to the body in the heat.
• The elasticated drawstring waist allows for significant flexibility, accommodating various body types and preferred wearing heights.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size to benefit from the intended relaxed and functional profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar dark colours to protect the garment-dyed Dark Navy finish.
• Turn the shorts inside out before washing to safeguard the organic cotton texture and the woven brand label.
• Hang the shorts to dry naturally, which is highly efficient due to the lightweight, airy nature of the seersucker weave.
• Avoid the use of a tumble dryer, as high heat can compromise the elasticity of the waistband and the organic cotton fibres.
• We recommend avoiding ironing to preserve the natural puckered texture of the seersucker, which is designed to be crease-resistant.

Our Seersucker Chef Shorts FAQs

1. What makes seersucker good for summer?
   The fabric is woven in a way that creates a permanent "pucker," which holds the material away from the skin, allowing air to circulate more freely.

2. How heavy are these compared to the Canvas Chef Shorts?
   These are significantly lighter at 200GSM compared to the 360GSM canvas, making them the preferred choice for extreme heat.

3. Is the navy colour solid?
   Because they are garment-dyed, the Dark Navy has great depth and slight tonal variation that will develop a unique character over time.

4. Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
   Yes, the fatigue-style front pockets are deep and wide, easily accommodating a modern smartphone and other daily essentials.
