When Alex Walsh was working in finance, he regularly complained to his wife, Yang Liu, about his underwear not fitting properly – so she decided to do something about it.
“I travelled around the globe for his globes,” Liu writes on the pair’s site for their underwear company, JustWears. “I tested thousands of fabrics and beta-tested 40-plus prototypes before finding one that everyone seemed to love!”
After launching a Kickstarter, the brand was flooded with pre-orders and quickly became the most backed apparel project in the UK, so JustWears was officially launched.
The brand has gone from strength to strength since it was launched in 2017, even appearing on an episode of Dragon’s Den, and receiving an investment from Touker Suleyman.
What began as a menswear brand, selling boxers, briefs, and trunks, has now expanded into ultra-comfortable women’s underwear too, including bras and thongs.
Starting at £5.70 for single pairs, these pants make perfect stocking fillers this Christmas that everyone in the family will love.
The brand’s undies are made from their exclusive and super soft MicroModal Air fibres, which are five times softer, and 50 per cent more absorbent and breathable than cotton.
The fibres are derived from sustainably grown European wood sources, and are anti-bacterial to prevent body odour, and quick-drying to keep things cool all day long.
JustWear’s stitching technique and tag-free waistband also reduce skin irritation, while the design is also anti-chafe and anti-ride up, with an anti-roll waistband, and a longer inseam for a snug fit.
Along with underwear, the brand has branched out into super soft T-shirts and socks, so you may as well stock up on the basics this festive season.
JustWears is also offering 21 per cent off selected products – which are marked with a pre-existing 15 per cent off) using the code ‘GIFTPANTS’. You can shop the range here.
