The underwear was made in collaboration with Native Energy, and serves as the world's first carbon neutral underwear. The fabrics were made from "OEKO-TEX®-certified recycled material and 100 percent organic cotton gusset," resulting in both comfort and style. The collection has been dubbed 'The Universal' and arrives in four style iterations including Boy Short, Thong, Hip Hugger and Brief. Multiple colorways are also available.
