Bolas Underwear Introduces: Our New Men's Boxer Shorts Made from 92% Lyocell and 8% Jersey

At Bolas Underwear, we constantly strive for innovation and comfort. Our latest items, the men's boxer shorts made from 92% lyocell and 8% jersey, are specially designed for men who value quality and style. In this blog, we will tell you everything about the unique properties of lyocell, its sustainable production process, and why this is the perfect choice for your wardrobe.

What is Lyocell?

Lyocell is an innovative and sustainable fabric made from wood pulp, usually sourced from fast-growing trees such as eucalyptus, beech, and pine. The production process is environmentally friendly: the wood pulp is dissolved in a non-toxic solvent and processed in a closed-loop system. This means that 99.5% of the chemicals used are recycled, minimizing the impact on the environment. Furthermore, the cultivation of the trees hardly uses any irrigation or pesticides.

The USPs of Lyocell

Lyocell has several unique properties that make it ideal for use in underwear:

  • Softness: Lyocell has a silky-soft texture that feels wonderful against the skin.

  • Breathable: The fabric allows air to circulate and efficiently wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and fresh all day long.

  • Hypoallergenic: Thanks to its natural fibers, lyocell is gentle on the skin, preventing irritation.

  • Sustainable: Lyocell is biodegradable and produced with minimal environmental impact.

  • Strong and durable: Despite its soft texture, lyocell is exceptionally strong and long-lasting.

What is Jersey and why combine it with Lyocell?

Jersey is a knitted fabric known for its flexibility and elasticity. It is often made from cotton, synthetic fibers, or a blend of both. In the case of our boxer shorts, jersey is combined with lyocell, resulting in a fabric that is both soft and elastic.

Properties of Jersey:

  • Elastic and stretchy: Thanks to its knitted structure, jersey moves easily with your body, ensuring a comfortable fit.

  • Breathable: Jersey allows air to circulate, making it ideal for daily wear.

  • Durable: The fabric is hard-wearing and retains its shape even after repeated washing.

  • Lightweight: Despite its robustness, jersey feels light and comfortable.

The combination of lyocell and jersey offers the best of both worlds: the softness, breathable properties, and sustainability of lyocell are complemented by the flexibility and stretch of jersey. This makes the fabric perfect for underwear that is not only comfortable but also functional.

Design: Extra Comfort and Functionality

When designing our new boxer shorts, we paid extra attention to comfort and support. We achieved this by:

  • Double fabric at the front and bottom: This provides extra firmness and support where it is most needed, without compromising flexibility and comfort.

  • Perfect fit: The addition of 8% jersey ensures the ideal stretch, allowing the boxer shorts to fit seamlessly to your body.

  • Lightweight and breathable: With a fabric weight of 210gsm, the boxer shorts are light enough to wear comfortably all day, while their breathability prevents overheating.

Washing and Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Bolas boxer shorts, we recommend following these care instructions:

  1. Washing:

    • Machine wash at 30°C.

    • Use a delicate wash cycle and wash with similar colors.

    • Avoid aggressive detergents or bleaches.

  2. Drying:

    • Allow the boxer shorts to air dry.

    • Avoid using a tumble dryer, as this can damage the fibers.

  3. Ironing:

    • Ironing is not necessary. If desired, iron at a low temperature.

  4. Do not dry clean:

    • Dry cleaning is not recommended to protect the natural fibers.

By following these simple steps, you can maintain the softness, fit, and quality of your boxer shorts for a long time.
