Recycled cotton and water
The fabric is made from 95% recycled cotton and 5% elastane.
The elastic waistband contains 60% cotton for added comfort.
Dark blue with a light blue logo embroidery and a fine line along the lower edge of the waistband.
Our recycled cotton comes from pre-consumer scraps and cuttings that factories would otherwise throw away. The fibres are re-spun into new yarn and we do the rest, letting you get on with looking good and feeling even better about it.

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.
I found this brand at a store in Portland, OR and after one pair I had to get more. They are incredibly comfortable and breathable with plenty of room. Will be buying more! For sizing, I normally wear a US Medium in briefs and went with the Large here and they are a perfect fit.
I appreciate the quality of your products and the quick handling of my order
Quality product and I love the color.
I love everything about these shorts. How they’re sexy but tasteful and understated, how great they feel with the right proportion of cotton and strechy materials. The fact they’re ethically and responsibly made in Europe and yet sold at competitive prices is a huge plus as well. Most of all I’m delighted at how well they fit me, so comfortable and flattering too.
Item has still not been delivered. And the site does not provide tracking info. Still waiting.
Hello Richard,
I am sorry that you haven't received your order yet. The trunk was sent on 2nd January by Mail with a non-tracked service (which is the service used for an order that includes only one item). Usually delivery to the US via Mail takes around 3 to 4 weeks, so it should arrive very soon now. Anyway, I will also speak to the warehouse tomorrow about it and they will also email you directly with more info.
Thank you
