Mixing brands in the same drawer

Short answer: It works fine as long as you keep track of which size belongs to which brand. Write it down once and you never have to guess.

The advantage of mixing

You can pick the best from each brand: one for everyday, one for training and one for days when you want something closer fitting. No brand is best at everything.

The drawback

The sizes do not run together. A medium from one brand and a medium from another can be two centimetres apart in hip width. See bamboo underwear for men.

How to keep track

Write the brand and size in the notes on your phone. Then a reorder takes thirty seconds instead of half an hour. See JBS of Denmark and Boody.

Frequently asked questions

Do different brands wear differently

Yes. A heavier fabric lasts longer than a light one, whatever the name.

Can you wash them together

Yes, if the fabric type and colour go together.

Does the drawer get messy

Not if you sort by type rather than by brand.
