Hostel life is corridors, common rooms and laundry every ten days. Boxers are the uniform; here’s how to do it right.
Buy enough
Ten pairs. Laundry cycles are long and borrowing is a bad idea.
Prints you can be seen in
You’ll be in the mess in them. Flamingos, lemons, casino chips. Go bold.
Cotton that survives the dhobi
Poplin and digital print handle rough washing. Avoid thin jersey.
The pocket
Room key, ID card, ₹50. Essential.
Stock up on the men’s rack: three pairs unlocks a free mask, over ₹1,499 ships free.
Good to know
Made in India: Envisioned, designed and made in India. Our boxers are stitched in our own workshop by people we know, in small batches, which is how we can put out a new print without betting on ten thousand units of it.
Summer: In an Indian summer, boxers should be light enough to see light through, woven so air passes, and cut loose so nothing traps heat. Digital printing helps here too. Screen-print ink adds a plasticky layer that holds warmth against the skin.
Wash colours: Prints stay loud when you keep brights with darks and whites with whites, wash cold, and avoid the tumble dryer. Digital printing bonds dye to the fibre, so colour loss is minimal. The 1-year colour guarantee exists because we rarely have to use it.
Care: Wash cold with similar colours, inside out if you can, and line dry in shade. Tumble heat is what ages elastic. All our boxers and masks are hand and machine washable, and a mild detergent is all they need. Skip bleach and fabric softener.
Quick answers
Why no fly?
No gaping when worn as shorts, a cleaner print, and nothing to break in the wash. Nobody asks for it back.
Do the prints fade?
They’re digitally printed into the fibre, so they don’t crack or peel. Wash cold and line dry and they stay bright; there’s a 1-year colour guarantee regardless.
