What You Wear Inside Matters Most

Let’s be real—if your underwear or vest feels itchy, sweaty, or just plain weird, your day’s already off to a bad start. That’s why the fabric you choose is everything.

Whether you’re going full boss mode at work or just kicking back at home, here’s the lowdown on the best types of fabrics for men’s innerwear—plus where Big Eye fits in.

1. Cotton: The Everyday King

You can’t beat good ol’ cotton. And there’s a reason it’s still the #1 pick for men’s underwear and vests.

• Soft and breathable: Keeps you cool all day.
• Gentle on skin: Great for sensitive guys.
• Absorbs moisture: Less sweat, less stink.

👉 All of Big Eye underwears and vests are made from 100% combed cotton, so you get that premium, smooth feel with every wear.

2. Modal: Silky but Pricey

Modal is ultra-smooth and feels like luxury on your skin.

• Feels like silk but is plant-based.
• Super stretchy and lightweight.
• Doesn’t trap heat.

Modal’s cool—but it’s also a bit high-maintenance and more expensive. If you want that buttery soft feel without the price tag, cotton is still your best bet. And Big Eye’s cotton vests come close to that smooth texture while staying tough in the wash.

3. Bamboo: Nature’s Cooling Fabric

Made from bamboo fibers, this eco-friendly option is trending—and for good reason.

• Naturally antibacterial: Less odor.
• Great for hot climates: Keeps you dry and fresh.
• Soft and breathable.

4. Spandex Blends: Stretch + Performance

Spandex (aka elastane) is often blended with cotton or polyester for added stretch.

• Moves with your body.
• Good for gym wear.
• Less shrinkage over time.

At Big Eye, our briefs and vests have just the right amount of elasticity around the waistband and sleeves—no pinching, no sagging.

5. Polyester: Cool But Not Always Comfy

Used mostly in performance or sportswear, polyester is lightweight and quick-drying.

• Wicks sweat fast.
• Dries quickly after workouts.
• But… can feel plasticky or trap heat.
