Eco Fashion World

RED DOG

Once a staid area, the men’s underwear industry has diversified. From the loin cloths worn by the pharaohs to Henry VIII’s padded codpiece in the 16th century to a mid 1920’s introduction to boxers leading the way for the “boxers or briefs” campaign, men’s underwear has experienced transition, but the organic options and environmental concerns of today are taking things to a whole new level. Women’s garments often take the limelight with an assortment of options, fabrics, cuts and labels. Some forward thinking designers have taken the adaptable concepts, transferred those ideas to the men’s division and both reengineered and revolutionized the men’s underwear industry.

With comfort, natural fibers, eco friendly practices, and style in mind, here are some men’s underwear labels you should absolutely check out…

TOASTY BOYS

Toasty Boys – A men’s organic underwear line made of 100% naturally grown cotton, this label is quickly forging its place in the eco fashion world. With an outside of the box outlook that exudes fun with a luxurious touch, Toasty Boys super soft, breathable, eco minded underwear are doing a lot more than just keeping the boys toasty. Keep your eyes on this brand as they plan to introduce another men’s collection labeled Bamboo Boys and a women’s panty line under the name Buns. Undeniably fun, sexy and ethical!
