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.
Well made
I would prefer if the pouch had more forward room as opposed to downward room
Thank you Joshua for the review and for your comment, I will pass it on to our designer and to the factory.
Just received these 2 T-shirts today and like them very much to compliment the 3 short sleeves T-shirts I already bought
Thank you very much Eugene for your new review, this is much appreciated!
Boxer homme bleu azur en Tencel
Ordered trunks and they are very comfortable- high quality and the true review is I ordered 6 more pairs.
Thank you very much Patrick
Was looking online for organic cotton underwear saw these thought hmm so placed my order. Really happy with the fit the colors and styling. Going from boxer briefs to briefs was an adjustment but I’m getting to prefer them honestly because there’s nothing to bunch up on my thighs
Thank you very much Ronald! :)
