The Weaving Process of Knitted Underwear Fabrics
Underwear fabric is knitted rather than woven, and three routes cover it: circular knitting for tubular fabric, flat knitting for shaped or whole-garment panels, and warp knitting for stable linings. Gauge sets the relationship between yarn count and weight, written GG for circular and flat machines but E for warp machines. Fabric weight, measured to ISO 3801, means little without the gauge and the yarn count beside it.

Can I Wear the Newly Purchased Underwear Directly? The Correct Way to Clean New Underwear
A new garment should be washed before wearing, and the reason is what remains on the fabric rather than the store: finishing residues, sizing agents and handling dust. The care instruction is what tells the customer how to handle the first wash without damaging the construction.
Company & Industry Insights · May 2024 · 6 min readWhat is the Core Competitiveness of Underwear Products?
Underwear competitiveness sits in five places: fabric and seam quality, design that fits a real body and a real market, innovation that shows up in cost or comfort, brand pull that earns the reorder, and service measured in delivery reliability. In a private-label programme the first and the last carry most of the weight, because the brand on the label is yours. Unitex Underwear sources and follows up on both.

What Color Bra Do You Like to Wear? What Is the Character of A Woman Who Likes to Wear Black Underwear?
Bra colour is a positioning decision rather than a personality one: it signals the price tier, the age group and the occasion before a customer reads anything else. What matters commercially is the ratio between volume shades and trend shades, because that ratio is what sets the markdown exposure.

Underwear Color Trends in 2024
Colour trend reports are a starting hypothesis rather than a plan. What decides a range is the ratio between volume shades and trend shades, because neutrals reorder predictably while trend shades are replaced — and colour, more than fabric or construction, is what drives end-of-season markdown.

What’s Important About the Color of Women’s Underwear? How Many Colors Are There in Underwear?
The colour of women's underwear matters commercially rather than psychologically: it signals price tier, age group and occasion, and it drives end-of-season markdown more than fabric or construction does. Light shades also reveal more, so coverage, weight and edge construction have to be considered together with the shade.
Plaid Pajamas: A Comfortable and Fashionable Choice for Home
Matching a check costs fabric, because the panels are cut to the repeat so the pattern aligns across the seams. The check itself is a surface treatment rather than a different cloth, so what changes is the consumption per garment — and that reaches the quotation.
Women’s Underwear Colour: What the Preference Data Means for Range Planning
Reported colour-preference patterns — younger buyers cycling through more shades, older buyers staying with neutrals — are useful as a range-planning input rather than as a personality reading. What matters commercially is the depth-to-breadth ratio per age band, because that is what sets the markdown exposure.
A Comprehensive Guide to Mildew Prevention in Underwear
Mildew on stored underwear comes from four conditions together: residual moisture, restricted airflow, residual soiling and a warm humid environment. Moisture matters most, which is why drying the garment fully before packing prevents more cases than any other single step — and why the pack format and the storage route should be specified together.
The Color Psychology of Men’s Underwear
Colour associations are market conventions rather than fixed properties, and they differ between markets. What decides a range is the ratio between volume shades and trend shades rather than the association itself, and the plan is reviewed against sell-through rather than against the stated meaning. That makes colour meaning positioning language rather than a specification.
