Bamboo Rayon Smooth Boxer Shorts

Bamboo rayon is used in place of conventional rayon, which is typically made from wood pulp.

Bamboo grows extremely quickly and requires little in the way of pesticides or fertilizers. At the same time, uncontrolled growth can affect surrounding forests and ecosystems, making regular harvesting necessary. As bamboo is difficult to utilize as timber, much of what is cut can otherwise go to waste.

This material makes use of bamboo that can be difficult to repurpose, transforming it into rayon. Rather than simply reusing an available resource, the process gives the material a new purpose and value.

Dyeing and finishing are carried out by Tsuyakin, a GOTS-certified facility.

The dyeing and finishing process requires significant amounts of water, energy, and chemicals. As each material requires different temperatures, pH levels, dyes, and processing times, working with a wide range of modern textiles demands a high level of technical control.

Recognizing the environmental impact of dyeing, Tsuyakin places particular importance on energy conservation and wastewater treatment as part of its responsibility as a manufacturer.

Rather than prioritizing efficiency alone, the company continues to produce fabric with careful consideration for both the material and its environmental impact.

Sewing is handled by AXE CORPORATION, a domestic manufacturer of cut-and-sewn garments. They have experience producing for both domestic and international high-end brands and specialize in delicate and beautiful stitchwork. In particular, they have worked on many items where comfort is paramount, such as innerwear and lingerie that come into direct contact with the skin.
