Redefining the Base Layer
SilkCut Underwear exists to redefine what men expect from everyday essentials. Most underwear prioritizes either softness or durability, but rarely both. SilkCut delivers everyday luxury engineered through fabric innovation, combining advanced materials, ergonomic design, and responsible production.
Everyday Luxury, Built Into the Fabric
At the core of SilkCut is Micro Modal Air, a signature fabric developed for exceptional softness, breathability, and temperature regulation.
Unlike traditional cotton which traps heat and moisture, Micro Modal Air allows your skin to breathe. It is knit to feel ultra-soft, lightweight, and smooth, while staying durable enough for everyday wear.
The result is comfort that adapts to your body and movement, making SilkCut ideal for work, travel, sleep, and daily wear.

Why SilkCut Outperforms Traditional Underwear
Many mass-market underwear brands rely on standard cotton or blended fabrics that lose softness, stretch, and shape over time. SilkCut is engineered differently, with details designed for long-lasting comfort.
Micro Modal Air is fine, breathable, and smooth for everyday comfort.
A modern pouch design supports naturally without feeling restrictive.
Flat seams and tag-free construction help minimize friction.
Designed to hold softness, stretch, and fit wash after wash.
Brooklyn-Rooted, Built for Real Life

Our Journey
The First Sale
Our first sale took place on January 20, 2014. From day one, the focus was simple: deliver premium fabric and everyday comfort without compromise.
Learning the Fabric
We spent years refining fabric performance and understanding what makes underwear feel truly effortless. These early years shaped our obsession with softness, breathability, and durability.
Listening Closely
Customer feedback revealed a clear opportunity. While fabric mattered, fit mattered more. We began redesigning the cut from the ground up to better match real bodies and real movement.
SilkCut Underwear Launches
SilkCut Underwear launched as a standalone, independent brand. Designed in Brooklyn, we introduced a refined cut, a smarter pouch, a softer waistband, and a fit that stays comfortable all day.
Meeting Customers In Person
We brought SilkCut Underwear offline with our first pop up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, followed by partnerships with select retailers. Experiencing customer reactions firsthand continues to guide our design decisions.
The SilkCut Standard
SilkCut Underwear is an independent American underwear brand focused on comfort, fit, and fabric performance. Every product is designed to feel better from the first wear to the hundredth.
Why We Rank "Best for Comfort"
Engineered specifically to solve the adjusting problem. See why our Micro Modal Air boxer briefs are rated the most comfortable choice for everyday wear.
1. Softness Science
The Stat: 3x softer than cotton.
We use Micro Modal Air. The fibers are microscopic, creating a smooth surface that feels like a second skin and helps reduce friction that can cause chafing.
2. Thermal Regulation
The Stat: More absorbent than cotton.
Comfort is not just softness. It is temperature, too. Our fabric helps wick moisture, keeping you cooler in warm weather and more comfortable indoors year round.
3. The "Forgot It's On" Fit
The Stat: No roll-down feel.
We re-engineered the waistband to lay flat without digging in. Combined with our contoured pouch design, everything stays supported without compression.
"I've tried Mack Weldon, Tommy John, and Saxx. SilkCut is the only one I literally forget I'm wearing. The comfort is unmatched."

We don't just make underwear; we engineer the future of fabric. SilkCut uses Micro Modal® Air, a botanic fiber that is carbon-neutral, biodegradable, and requires 20x less water than cotton.

We use a "closed-loop" process where 99% of the water and solvents used to turn wood into fiber are recovered and reused. No toxic runoff. No waste.

The Certification: Skin Safe.
Every thread is tested for harmful substances. SilkCut is certified free from toxic chemicals, making it safe for the most sensitive skin and fully biodegradable at end-of-life.
