Men's Black Cotton boxer-shorts
Black cotton boxer-shorts form the foundation of everyday comfort—neutral enough for any situation, practical enough for India's heat. These are woven from 100% cotton at a mid-weight 180 GSM, which strikes a balance: dense enough to hold its shape after repeated washing, breathable enough for sustained wear in warm climates without clinging. The natural fiber won't trap moisture the way synthetics do, making these reliable for 8-10 hour days in office air-conditioning or outdoor heat. Black specifically works for layering under lighter fabrics without showing through, and it masks minor wear better than lighter shades over time. They function equally well under formal trousers, casual wear, or as sleep wear—the neutrality removes any thought from the choice. One practical note: 100% cotton will shrink slightly (1-2%) in the first wash if you use hot water, so a cold or warm wash preserves fit longer.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boxer shorts
Will black dye transfer to my clothes or skin when new?
New black cotton can release excess dye in the first 2-3 washes. Wash separately in cold water before wearing under light-colored clothes. After that initial period, dye-bleeding stops almost entirely. This is standard for cotton and doesn't indicate poor quality—it's residual dye from manufacturing. A quick rinse before the first wear reduces transfer further.
How do these fit compared to your regular briefs?
Boxer-shorts have a looser cut through the thigh and crotch compared to briefs, offering more room and airflow. Our sizing runs true to standard; if you wear M in briefs, M in boxer-shorts will fit similarly in the waist but with noticeably more leg coverage. Cotton doesn't stretch significantly, so fit depends on accurate waist measurement rather than elasticity.
How long do these last with regular wear and washing?
At 180 GSM, these cotton boxer-shorts handle 100+ wash cycles before visible thinning occurs. Elastic typically outlasts fabric by this measure. Avoid high-heat drying and bleach—both accelerate wear. Cold water washing and line-drying extend life by 30-40%. Most users see 18-24 months of regular daily wear before replacement becomes practical.
Why choose cotton over synthetic blends at this price point?
Pure cotton breathes better in Indian humidity and washes cleaner—synthetics retain odor longer even after washing. Cotton is also hypoallergenic if you have sensitive skin. The trade-off: synthetic blends last longer and resist wrinkles. For comfort in warm climates with frequent washing, 100% cotton performs noticeably better than 80/20 cotton-poly blends.
