FAQ
Whoa! Wait! How do you hand wash something?
Don’t panic! Hand washing is simple. If you're not sure you can find out more here.
Why should I wash my Thai Pants by hand?
Thai pants are breathable because of the soft, light fabric but washing Thai pants in a washing machine runs the risk of damaging and/or ripping this fabric. Hot water may actually shrink the pant so we advise using warm or cold water to maintain the original shape of your pants. Don’t worry, stains and dirt will be removed without hot water! Just remember that the delicate nature of the fabric requires gentle care.
Why do I need to dry my Thai pants away from sunlight?
Each pair of pants is authentically handmade with vibrant colors and intricate detail. Drying the pants in the sun may seem tempting, but harsh sunlight may fade the colors in the fabric and ultimately reduce the lifespan of the pants.
This process sounds time consuming. Is there a way I can dry my Thai Pants quickly?
The bamboo rayon and natural cotton of our Hippie Pants allows them to air-dry quickly. The process may sound time-consuming, but once you try it you will realize it is simple, fast and better for your pants. You may even start to wash other clothing this way!
Should I care for cotton pants differently?
No. Cotton pants should be washed with the same gentle care.
Should I use a specific kind of detergent?
Thai Pants are animal and eco-friendly. In order to support this effort, we recommend using organic laundry detergent soap, as it does not contain potentially harmful ingredients like phosphate, chlorine and other additives. This detergent is also eco-friendly and gentle on the skin.
