Recycled cotton and water
In all garment factories, there is a lot of waste happening. Because when a fabric is being cut in order to create the different panels that will be assembled together to create a garment, the offcuts (the small pieces of fabrics that are too small to be used) can represent up to 25% of the full fabric roll. And these offcuts are usually simply thrown away.
In our case, we are re-using these offcuts – in the jargon, they are also called “pre-consumer” waste - by collecting them from factory floors and sending them to a recycling facility. They are then mechanically shredded, before being re-spun into new yarns.
The recycled cotton fibers tend to be shorter than the virgin cotton fibers. This gives the fabric their peach skin feel.
The big advantage of recycled cotton is that it is by far the most environmentally friendly cotton fiber, because it uses significantly less resources.
It saves land obviously.
It also saves a lot of water. It takes usually between 300 and 450 litres of water to grown enough virgin cotton to make 1 pair of underwear (around 100 grams of fabric) – all this water can be saved by using recycled cotton instead.

Quality of garment is still very good, but the same size has gone quite a bit larger than the one I got a little while back. I’m not sure what size to get in my next order.
Thank you very much for your feedback. You are correct, about 2 years ago we increased a little bit the sizing of the larger sizes. After washing a few times, do you still find a difference? Anyway we will contact you separately to discuss further.
Perfect
Thank you very much!!
The quality of these briefs is top shelf. They fit just as expected and I trust they will last for a long time to come.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with these briefs. And indeed, they should last you a long time, that is what we always aim for. Thanks again!
