Frequently Asked Questions
The title says Split Hem — this is the only swim trunks in the store with a split hem design. What does a split hem mean for a swim trunks?
A split hem creates an open slit at the side seam of each leg opening rather than a continuous hemline around the full leg. This allows the shorts to flare open slightly at the sides, providing greater freedom of movement during active swimming and giving the trunks a contemporary, athletic-inspired silhouette.
The brief is fully lined — does the lining extend to the split hem area, or does the lining have a separate hem at a different point than the outer fabric?
In lined shorts with split hems, the lining typically ends at a standard hemline while the outer fabric continues to the split hem. The lining does not usually extend into the split section, as this could bunch or catch at the split opening during wear.
Only one colorway is available — for a distinctive split hem construction, why is only a single color offered?
Single-colorway listings for distinctive design constructions (like split hem) often reflect that the specific construction was sourced in one color as a design-forward proposition. The split hem feature itself is the primary selling point, and a single sophisticated colorway choice supports that positioning.
Machine wash with no dry clean is specified — does the split hem construction require any special care to prevent the slit from expanding or fraying over time?
The split hem edges should be either sewn or bound to prevent fraying. Machine washing on a cold gentle cycle as specified is the appropriate care. Avoid wringing the shorts when wet, as this can stress the split hem edges. Laying flat to dry is preferable to hanging to prevent the hem from pulling unevenly.
The bottom length is 15.7–17.3 inches, the same as many plain beach shorts — does the split hem affect the functional bottom length?
The listed bottom length measures the outer fabric from waistband to hem tip. With a split hem, the effective length on the inner seam may be shorter than the outer seam by the depth of the split. The practical covered length when worn depends on the split depth, which is visible in the product photography.
