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.
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! :)

Thank you Eugene for your review and thank you for your custom!
Great quality, great design and just like Blackpool Tower, impressive ballroom.
Thank you Russell :)
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.
