Bamboo Undershirt for Men – Guide

Short answer: A bamboo undershirt for men is the softest and most breathable base layer you can put under a shirt or a jumper. It keeps you dry, inhibits odour and feels comfortable against the skin all day. Choose between styles with and without sleeves depending on what you wear over it.

Why many men choose bamboo undershirts

Bamboo viscose wicks sweat away from the skin and helps regulate temperature, so the undershirt both protects your shirt from sweat marks and keeps you comfortable in heat and cold. See the full range of bamboo undershirts for men from brands like JBS of Denmark and Resteröds.

With or without sleeves?

Without sleeves, the undershirt is invisible under most shirts and is the classic everyday choice. With short sleeves, you get protection against sweat marks under the arms. For the cold season, a long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt for men works as a warm base layer. Read more in the post on the bamboo undershirt as a base layer.

Size and fit

The undershirt should sit close to the body without squeezing, otherwise it bunches up under your shirt. If you are unsure about the size, use the size guide for JBS of Denmark men or read our general guide on how to find the right size in bamboo clothing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of a bamboo undershirt for men?

Bamboo viscose breathes, wicks sweat away and inhibits odour. The undershirt therefore keeps you dry and fresh while also protecting your shirt.

Should an undershirt fit tightly?

It should sit close to the body without squeezing. An undershirt that is too loose bunches up under your shirt, while one that is too tight presses and rides up.

Can you wear a bamboo undershirt all year round?

Yes, bamboo viscose regulates temperature. It cools you in the heat and works as an insulating base layer in the cold.
