Why Dylan Ribkoff?

If you have read our blog so far, you have probably noticed that men underwear is the topic of our blog. As mentioned before, one of our inspirations in writing that blog is the Montreal designer Dylan Ribkoff, which collection was born only one year ago.  

I think that now is the time to tell you why Dylan Ribkoff over any other underwear designer. Ribkoff’s motivation is to provide people with underwear that fits their personality. Imagine that you have a different pair of underwear for every state of mind and every occasion. Imagine how that could complement your life. That is about it. Doing underwear is about making clothing that will make you feel confident and proud. It is about looking the way you want to look, and showing everyone else what you are worth.  It is about expressing yourself. Thus, no need to be a model or an athlete to wear Ribkoff’s underwear, you only need to care about yourself. That’s the reason why Ribkoff’s apparel is so comfortable. It is because it is made for normal life and it is made to be worn everyday to make you feel good.

The facts that Dylan Ribkoff's undergarments are made from premium quality cotton, that they are crafted in Canada, and that they need to pass very strict quality controls only add to the fact that underwear matters.

Because what’s underneath matters.

Fashion Weeks

With many Fashion Weeks around the world come and gone, designers of men’s underwear have been extra busy showing off their collections of underwear. From Tokyo to Milan to New York City, male models have been walking down the catwalk on countless days with so many different types of underwear. From traditional underwear to more untraditional undies, we have seen them all.

            As a result of a growing trend in male skivvies, we have seen more designers from around the fashion world create male underwear and showing them off at the Fashion Weeks. It has become more and more competitive with the rise of more designers, who have entered the field. Hence, the increase in competition, can only be beneficial for the men. The men will have a better selection in underwear.

As we can see, men’s underwear is becoming as important as women’s underwear. After all, the men deserve it! Don’t you think?

Did you ever wonder why so many of our Clothes are made of Cotton?

Many of us know that our clothes are made of cotton, but only few of us know where cotton comes from and why so many of our clothes and garments are made from this textile.

What is Cotton?

Cotton fiber grows around the seeds of the cotton plant which is called GenuseGossypium. When it grows, it takes the form of a little bowl which purpose is to facilitate the spreading of seed dispersal. As almost all species, you can find many different species of cotton around the globe, which all have different characteristics. Cotton grows in warm region of the globe; you can find some in America, in Africa, in Asia, and in almost every tropical and subtropical region of the world.  

Why Cotton in our clothes?

The reasons that make cotton one of the most preferred fabrics of the clothing industry is that it is both breathable, which makes it comfortable for people when it's hot, and that it is also very easy to dye. Both of these characteristics make cotton very popular in the clothing industry, as style is almost always expressed with colors, and as people are more than often concerned with clothes that won’t make them suffocate. A final thought about cotton is that it is a natural fabric. That makes it less harming to people who are sensitive to certain chemical used in the production of other fabrics.

Knowing this, we can understand why almost all of our clothes, our T-shirts, hoodies, underwear and socks contain cotton.  However, cotton doesn’t only have advantages. You have probably noticed that it wrinkles and shrinks when you wash them and put them in the dryer. That would be the reason why cotton is frequently blended with other fabrics such as polyester and Lycra, in order to give it the benefits of both cotton and the other fabric.

I hope you that you have enjoyed reading my article and that you have learned something new about cotton. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment J
