Urban Quest and what the brand stands for

Short answer: Urban Quest makes basics in bamboo viscose for both women and men. The range is built around simple, plain coloured pieces for everyday use, with styles that return from season to season.

Basics for both

The brand covers underwear, T-shirts and simple tops for both women and men. The categories repeat across the two, so a couple can use the same brand and already know the quality. That makes shopping easy, because you know what you get, whoever in the household it is for. See Urban Quest.

Bamboo throughout

Urban Quest uses bamboo viscose in its basics. The material is soft and smooth against the skin and moves moisture away, which is why it is used for underwear and T-shirts that sit close for many hours. When the whole range is in the same material, the pieces also feel alike, whatever the category.

Plain and simple

The colour palette is neutral, and the styles stay the same from season to season. That makes topping up easy, because a new piece matches the ones you already have. For women this means simple briefs and tops in calm colours that work under most outfits. See bamboo underwear for women.

Easy to top up

When styles do not change, you can replace what wears out one piece at a time. You do not need a whole new drawer to make things match. Note the style name and size of the pieces you like, so you can quickly find them again when you need more.

For everyday

The cuts are meant for daily wear rather than special occasions. That means regular fits without very slim or very loose shapes. For men the T-shirts are easy to wear both alone and as a layer under a shirt or jumper. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

Why a regular fit is practical

A regular fit suits most people without pulling at the stomach or hanging loose at the shoulders. It is easy to combine with other clothes and works as well at the weekend as at work. For basics that are worn often, it helps not to have to think about how they sit.

Sizes for women and men

The brand has its own size guides for women and men, and they are worth using because fit varies from brand to brand. Measure yourself and compare with the chart before you order. See size guide Urban Quest women and size guide Urban Quest men.

Washing

As with other bamboo clothing, 40 degrees and no fabric softener apply. Softener leaves a film on the fibres and makes the fabric stiffer over time, so it loses some of its softness. Turn clothes inside out and dry them on a line or at low heat in the dryer. Read more under washing and care.

Who Urban Quest suits

Urban Quest suits you if you want simple bamboo basics for everyday wear and like to buy the same thing again. The brand is also practical if several people in the household want the same quality. Start with a single piece to find your size before you buy more.
