JBS or JBS of Denmark and what the difference is
Short answer: The shop carries products under both JBS and JBS of Denmark. Both come in bamboo viscose, but the ranges look different, and they sit in separate collections. Here is an overview so you know where to look for the style you need.
Two collections
You will find them in JBS and in JBS of Denmark. Look in both if you want a particular style, as they do not cover the same things. The names are similar, so many assume it is one range. In the shop they are split, so knowing the difference helps you find your way.
What each one covers
The JBS collection is mainly underwear and undershirts for men. JBS of Denmark is broader, with nightwear, t-shirts, sweatwear and products for women among other things. If you want basic underwear for men, JBS is the natural place to start. For loungewear or something for women, JBS of Denmark is usually right.
Underwear for men
If you want underwear, the styles from both brands are collected in bamboo underwear for men, so you can compare them directly. There you can see differences in leg length, waistband and colours side by side. That is the easiest way to find the style that suits your body and trousers.
Undershirts for men
Undershirts are a base layer under shirts and knitwear and absorb sweat before it reaches the outer layer. Both names can have styles here, and the difference is usually in neckline, sleeves and length. See them together in bamboo undershirts for men, alongside other brands.
For women
For women it is mainly JBS of Denmark that has products. The range covers underwear and nightwear in the same soft material. See them in bamboo underwear for women and bamboo nightwear for women, where they sit next to other brands so you can compare cuts and sizes.
Same material, different cuts
What both share is bamboo viscose, which is smooth on the skin and moves moisture away. The difference lies more in which products they make than in the fabric itself. If you liked a style from one name, the other will not necessarily have a matching one.
Washing
Whichever you choose, the same rules apply to bamboo viscose: 40 degrees, no fabric softener and no tumble dryer. Softener coats the fibres, and the dryer's heat wears the elastic. Hang the clothes to dry and they keep their shape longest. See the washing guide.
Finding your way
The easiest route is to search by product type rather than by brand, and only then see which of the two has the style you want. That way you see every option at once and can choose by fit and colour rather than the name on the label.
