Wovens

Our PAULINE boxer shorts are made of 100 % cotton yarn. Unlike the existing products, the new boxers are woven instead of knitted. What does that mean?

Making material

Weaving is one of the oldest textile production methods there is. It involves criss-crossing two different fibre systems, known as the warp and the weft. The warp fibres are tensioned and form the frame, while the weft fibres are interwoven from one side to the other across the whole width of the material. The result is known as a woven fabric, or simply "material".

100/2 Cotton yarn

We use a particularly high-quality cotton yarn to produce PAULINE. In technical terms, it is category 100/2 (yarn strength/number of distributed fibres). This means that the yarn is extremely fine and soft, making the material more comfortable to wear. By comparison: A standard men's shirt is made from category 60/1 yarn.
