How to choose between two brands

Short answer: Compare four things: the weight of the fabric, the type of seams, the size table in centimetres and what you need the garment for. The name comes last.

The weight of the fabric

A heavier fabric lasts longer and is less see through. A lighter one is cooler in summer. Choose by season and use, not by what sounds finest.

The seams

Flat seams for anything worn close all day. Overlock is stronger but can be felt. Look at the inside before deciding. See bamboo underwear for men.

The table in centimetres

Two brands' mediums are rarely the same. Measure a garment you wear and compare with the numbers, not with the letter. See JBS of Denmark and Boody.

Frequently asked questions

What if both look the same

Then weight and seam decide. You can measure and feel both yourself.

Should you always choose the most expensive

No. In basics, price does not automatically follow quality.

Can you try both

Buy one of each and see which holds up after three months.
