Our Sustainability Story
We strive to innovate every day, constantly looking for better ways to manufacture our products and ensure we take every possible action towards having a lesser impact on the environment through our use of materials and methods.
Our promise to you is to keep innovating every way we can. We love this planet for its beautiful landscapes that allows us to ride, slide, jump, run and hang in – let’s do our part to make sure we leave this place better than we found it.
Industry Leaders
TENCEL™ Modal fibers, used in over 90% of our products, are manufactured by environmentally responsible production processes. The fibers originate from sustainable wood and pulp sources and are certified as compostable and biodegradable. We add a small amount of spandex to these products that doesn't completely biodegrade. Along with its botanic origin, the key TENCEL™ Modal benefits include extreme softness, enhanced breathability, moisture management and color retention. Experience TENCEL™ Modal fibers for yourself with our Classic Boxer Briefs and Trunks, Tees and Sleepwear.

Packaging
In 2019, we introduced new recyclable packaging.
Boxer Briefs and Trunks come in sleek new product bags, which are resealable if you’d like to repurpose them, or 100% recyclable if they’ve served their purpose. By switching from a box to these softpack bags, we were able to reduce our outbound shipping material usage by 30%.
- Sleek resealable bag
- 100% recyclable
- Reduced carbon footprint
No more single-use plastic: Shop with (Re)purpose
We’ve eliminated the use of single use plastic bags for our Sleepwear, Tees, 2 IN 1’s, Merino Wool and Joggers. Those products now come in our new repurposable mesh laundry bags, which can be used for just about anything! Perfect for laundry, packing, toiletries, sweaty gym gear, electronics and more.
Have a brilliant use for yours? We want to hear about it!
From Us to You
We also eliminated non-recyclable poly bags from our outbound shipping materials in favour of eco-friendly, sustainable poly mailers. Larger orders (more than 6 items) are shipped in a cardboard box that's easily recyclable.
- Recycled: made from 100% recycled content
- Reusable: dual adhesive strip allows for reuse
- Recyclable: keep these out of the landfill
