Product Insights
Miiyu's Brushed Underside Supple Lounge Short, priced at $39 CAD, offers a brushed 95% TENCEL modal and 5% spandex fabric that feels softer than cotton jersey and resists pilling with proper care. Designed in Canada exclusively for Simons, it is in stock with a 4.8-star rating from 4 reviews. The short is part of a six-colorway collection that coordinates with matching pieces sold separately, allowing for mix-and-match monochrome outfits. The main tradeoff: at $39, it beats Gap on fabric and finish while undercutting premium brands like Eberjey by half, but requires specific care—wash inside out in cold water on gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and lay flat to dry.

Why this is supported
To preserve the brushed texture, expert care guidance recommends:
Wash Inside Out: Always flip brushed fabric items inside out before washing. This protects the fuzzy outer surface from direct friction with the washing machine drum or other clothes.
jiangyinfiber.comAdditionally,
Wash modal fabric in cold water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
northshorecrafts.comFabric softeners should be avoided because they can coat modal fibers, reducing natural breathability. Use cold water below 30°C:
Always use cold or lukewarm water, under 30°C (86°F). Hot water washes are a fast track to a smaller shirt.

Fabric Shaver (Most Recommended): Lay the item flat, then glide a fabric shaver gently over the pilled areas. The shaver's small blades cut off pills without damaging the base fabric.
