In men’s fashion, cotton has long been considered the king of fabrics. But as Deadgoodundies.com note from the UK, there can be an improvement on nature’s best… Increasing use of modal, viscose and Lyocell yarns in male underwear, sometimes solo, often in a mix with cotton, is revolutionising the fit, feel and features of boxers and briefs. These cellulose fibres, made from wood pulp, are breathable, colourfast and feel like cotton or silk, depending on the finish. These materials won’t trap perspiration or odours, have great stretch-recovery, resist shrinkage and they’re up to 50% more absorbent than cotton alone. Purists, take note.
