The fabric

MicroModal. Better than cotton in every way that matters.

Debriefs underwear is made from MicroModal, a premium fabric derived from sustainably managed beechwood trees grown in European forests. Independent testing by Lenzing confirms MicroModal is 3x softer than cotton, absorbs 50% more moisture, and uses 20x less water in production. It’s produced using a closed-loop system that recovers and reuses 99% of water and solvents. See how MicroModal compares to cotton and bamboo.

The smarter fabric choice

MicroModal uses up to 20x less water than cotton in production (Lenzing sustainability report). It doesn’t rely on pesticides or harmful chemicals, and leaves a fraction of cotton’s environmental footprint. The fabric is produced by Lenzing, a global leader in sustainable fibre production, and our entire supply chain is backed by third-party certifications: GOTS, FSC, Fairtrade, Organic 100, and PEFC. From the forest to the final stitch, every step is independently verified. Learn more about our story.
