Fine Rib & Double Rib Underwear – Classic, comfortable, versatile
Ribbed underwear is a timeless staple in every wardrobe – for both women and men. It offers a comfortable feel, great freedom of movement, and long-lasting quality. But what exactly is ribbed fabric, fine rib, or double rib – and what are the benefits of this underwear in everyday life?
What is ribbed underwear?
Ribbed underwear refers to a specific knitting technique where fine vertical ridges are visible in the fabric. This rib structure makes the material more elastic – even without adding elastane. Ribbed fabric is especially shape-retaining, stretchy, and adapts perfectly to the body – ideal for undershirts, shirts, briefs, and trunks.
Fine rib – soft, flexible, and perfect for everyday wear
Fine rib is the finer version of ribbed fabric. Its tighter structure makes it smoother and lighter. It feels soft on the skin, is breathable, and extremely comfortable – perfect for undershirts, briefs or basic shirts for men and women. Fine rib is also a great choice for work, leisure, or layering.
Double rib – durable, warming, and highly resilient
Double rib is characterized by a more pronounced structure with wider ribs, making it thicker and more robust – ideal for colder days or heavy-duty use. Double rib underwear is shape-retaining, long-lasting, and offers extra warmth. Popular choices include: trunks, long johns, or thermal undershirts for winter.
Why choose ribbed underwear?
Ribbed underwear stands out for its natural comfort. The textured knit ensures elasticity without the need for synthetic fibers – for a breathable, soft feel on the skin. Whether for daily wear, sports, leisure, or chilly seasons – ribbed fabric moves with you. From fitted trunks and comfortable briefs to breathable undershirts, it’s always a reliable choice.
