Material, Weight and Construction

Material, Weight and Construction

The material was chosen not only for how it feels in the hand, but for how it behaves when worn.

I / CONSTRUCTION

What does continuous construction mean?

Most conventional underwear is assembled with seams along the sides of the garment. The Modal Boxer is cut as a single continuous body wrap, eliminating conventional side seams. This is a pattern-construction decision — not a claim that the garment is entirely seamless.

The front incorporates a double-layer, two-panel pouch with a center vertical seam and 10 mm raised self-fabric binding.

II / WEIGHT

What does 175 GSM mean?

GSM measures fabric weight in grams per square meter — the mass of a textile over a given area, rather than its thickness or its quality.

A lighter jersey can feel fluid and delicate. A heavier jersey can carry more substance and a different drape. Neither is inherently superior. The question is whether the weight serves the garment.

At 175 GSM, our modal-elastane jersey was selected for its balance of softness, weight, and elasticity.

III / MATERIAL

Why modal?

Modal is a regenerated cellulosic fiber, valued for its soft hand and fluid drape. Our composition combines 95% modal with 5% elastane. Modal establishes the character of the fabric. Elastane provides stretch and contributes to recovery.

IV / WAISTBAND

Why does the waistband matter?

The waistband is the structural boundary between the body and the garment.

No element was designed independently of the whole.
