## The product

- One boxer brief, in black and white. Mid-thigh leg. No side seams, so nothing runs along the outer thigh.
- Fabric: 63% Lyocell, 31% cotton, 6% elastane. Lyocell for the cool, dry hand; cotton for the familiarity; elastane for recovery.
- Pouch: anatomical, sewn to hold rather than flatten.
- Mark: one red bar-tack on the centre back of the waistband. No logo on the front.
- Made in Portugal. Designed in Berlin.
