Description

Lightweight Stretch Stretchy lightweight knit designed for underwear. 75% merino wool, 22% nylon, 3% spandex. 200 gsm. Color Black & Gray End-On-End size Size guide XS - 28in to 30in S - 30in to 32in M - 32in to 34in L - 34in to 36in XL - 36in to 38in XXL - 38in to 40in These boxer briefs are the result of a collaboration with our travel blogging friend Eytan, of snarkynomad.com. He has tested 30+ different underwear styles, hunted for the perfect pair since 2008, and written a 6,500+ word blog post on the subject. We tapped into this one-man brain trust to help design a pair of wool boxer briefs that checks all the boxes: durable, supportive pouch, fabric retention, legs that stay in place, minimal seams. Buy 2+ and save up to 16%. We don't accept any underwear returns/exchanges for hygienic reasons. Please check your measurements against the size guide before purchasing. We recommend ordering one pair to verify your correct size before ordering multiples.

How it's made

Knit

Fabric made from yarn looped into rows, the way a sweater or T-shirt is made.

Knits give when you move even without elastane. The page doesn't say which knit, so warmth and wear depend on the weight and the fiber.

Stretch
High
  • The 3% Spandex in the blend adds stretch and helps it spring back. It also makes the fabric hard to recycle into new fiber, because the elastane has to be separated out first.
