Product Insights
Le 31's Neutral-Hued Stretch Brief combines Tencel™ modal and organic cotton for a garment that dries 50% faster than cotton underwear, offers 400–600 CFM breathability to reduce clamminess, and uses micro-fine modal fibers (0.5 dtex) to minimize chafing. The modal resists pilling and shrinkage, while a double-layer front ensures opacity in light colorways. Priced at $19, it undercuts the brand's microfibre brief by $1 and matches other modal styles. A potential tradeoff: the manufacturer describes a mid-rise fit, but product images appear low-rise.
Verified claims
- Smoothness
- Modal fibers half the thickness of cotton stay smooth and resist pilling.
- Climate comfort
- Modal fibers dry 50% faster; organic cotton adds breathability.
- Drying speed
- Dries about 50% faster than cotton underwear.
- Breathability
- Cotton half provides breathability (400–600 CFM) to reduce clamminess.
- Chafing reduction
- Micro-fine modal fibers (0.5 dtex) reduce micro-friction and chafing.
- Temperature control
- Cotton's 400-600 CFM breathability and modal's 50% faster drying prevent clamminess.
- Pill and shrink resistance
- TENCEL modal resists pilling and shrinkage, keeping the brief looking newer longer.
- Moisture management
- Modal's finer filaments draw sweat away from the skin and evaporate it roughly 50% faster than cotton, keeping the brief drier during warm activity.
- Opacity
- Double-layered front prevents show-through in light colorways.
- Rise
- The retailer's product description calls these low-rise briefs, while a fit answer on the product page describes them as mid-rise.
- Front panel
- Double-layer front panel adds structure and prevents show-through.

Nice material; leg holes a bit tight
I have these in both the trunks and briefs. The sizing is perfect in the trunks, but the briefs run a bit tight especially in the leg holes.
