The shorts are deconstructed and sewn back together to use as much of the fabric as possible.
A wash developed for these shorts gives the denim dimensional tones throughout. The hardware is Polite's own, in brushed silver.
Every pair its own.
Each pair carries its own details, from paint accents to one-of-a-kind variations, so no two are the same. The cord in these photos is the Graphic Shoelace Belt Lock, sold separately by custom order.

Dry clean or spot clean. If you wash them, machine wash gently on cold and hang to dry, since painted details can be affected by home washing.
Polite Worldwide care guide, on the product page.
Unworn, with its tags and in its original packaging, it can be exchanged or turned into store credit within 7 days of delivery. There are no cash refunds, and return shipping is yours to cover.
Set out in full in the return policy, linked above. We would rather you read it now than discover it later.
Two to ten business days to leave the studio depending on the piece, plus five to seven more when volumes are high, then five to seven business days on UPS ground.
Current timings from the shipping policy. Tracking is emailed the moment it ships.
Yes, and shipping is complimentary on international orders above $500. Import duties and taxes are set by your country and collected by the carrier on delivery, so they are yours rather than ours.
Shipping policy. Refusing delivery over unpaid duties does not get the order refunded, so it is worth checking your local rate.
