Aloha! 🌺 We appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts about the changes you’ve noticed in the feel of our shorts. We’re happy we had the opportunity to connect with you by phone, assist you further, and explain how our change in dyeing process can initially make the fabric feel different from what you’re used to. We hope to hear from you after you’ve had a chance to wash and wear them a few times, as the cotton can develop a softer, nicely plumped-up feel with washing. We truly hope they become more comfortable for you and that you’ll be happier with them over time. 🤙🏼
