Ya Joe

When we started Ya Joe the first item on our to do list was to design a new and unique boxer brief. We wanted a boxer brief that gave guys superior support without being constricting, we wanted it to be magically light so you almost felt you werent wearing anything, we didnt want a lot of irritating seems, and finally we wanted it to be lightweight... and fast drying when we wanted to take them on a trip. All this was far easier to say and far more difficult to do! Like any new apparel product, a designer begins with fabric. For what we wanted to accomplish, no fabric was available. So, working closely with our factorys knitter and after quite a few trial and errors, Ya Joe created a proprietary fabric we called Lux-Air. Our Lux-Air fabric is knit on a German Terrot circular knitting machine using a combination of super-soft extruded nylon from BASF and Lycra® spandex. Ya Joes special knitting process creates a jacquard jersey knit fabric that is light weight, quick drying, anti-pilling, anti-snagging and long lasting. Once knit, Lux-Air goes through a specially designed dyeing and finishing process making the fabric breathable and cool without sacrificing its luxurious feel. Not only that, Ya Joe treats Lux-Air with Slivadur®, which is an environmentally safe anti-odor additive that lasts the life of the garment and is designed to not affect the feel of the fabric and stands up to heat and detergents wash after wash. You might think the biggest hurdle in designing the Ya Joe Boxer Briefs was producing the fabric. No doubt the fabric was a major hurdle to overcome, but it was just the first step. Next came the design of the boxer brief, how it fit and, most importantly, we wanted it to be supremely comfortable. After many reiterations, we eliminated all unnecessary seams, we adjusted the seams that were necessary into positions that created maximum support without being binding. There you have it. We think the Ya Joe Boxer Briefs are the very best boxer briefs made today. But really, you are the ultimate judge. ...Read More
