Three pairs of navy blue bamboo underpants
Not all underwear has to be black. Navy is the dark blue tone that does the same job, but looks less severe, and at the same time goes better with jeans and blue suit trousers than black does. This pack contains three identical navy blue underpants in soft bamboo quality, for men, in sizes S to XXL.
Navy rather than black
Black is the standard, because it is the easy choice, but navy covers just as well and looks a little less strict. Under blue jeans and dark blue trousers navy is also the colour that does not create contrast if the fabric is thin or light at the seams. It is a small thing, but that sort of small thing is the whole difference between underwear that simply works and underwear you think about.
Seams on the inside of the legs
The seams on the legs sit on the inside, so they do not rub against the thigh when you walk, cycle or stand up all day. The legs are long enough to stay put rather than riding up, and the waistband holds without digging in. That is what makes it possible to forget a pair of underpants from morning to evening.
The fabric
The underpants are made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is smooth and cool against the skin and moves moisture away from the body, so it evaporates instead of staying in the fabric. The cotton gives body, the elastane keeps the shape wash after wash. The properties of the fibre are gathered under benefits of bamboo viscose.
The certification
The underpants are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified under cert. no. BJ020 142441. The certificate covers every component, so the elastic in the waistband and the sewing thread as well, and it is the most important label on clothing that lies directly against the skin. What it means is explained under what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means.
For work and for time off
Navy is the colour that handles both. It looks proper under suit trousers, should there be a change in a changing room, and it works just as well with joggers at home. It is not an argument you think about when buying, but it is usually the explanation for why exactly those pairs are worn out first.
Three pairs in the pack
Three pairs is the amount that makes sense to top up with. If you already have black ones in the drawer, this pack adds three more days before washing is needed, and at the same time you get a colour that works under blue. Most people end up with a mix of black and navy rather than only one of them.
Washing
Wash the underpants at 40 degrees together with the rest of your dark clothes, avoid fabric softener, and let them air dry. Navy holds its colour best without the heat of the tumble dryer, and the elastic lasts longer. See the rest under washing and care.
Size
The model comes in sizes S to XXL. Choose your usual size, and go up if you are in doubt between two, so the waistband does not pinch over the hip.
The rest of the wardrobe
