COMFORT FOR ALL GENERATIONS

At TOP Underwear, comfort and function isn’t just a feature—it’s our obsession. Founded by Andrew, a dad driven by a lifelong quest for the softest fabrics and a hilarious family story, our Modal Men’s and Boys’ Underwear Collection is designed to deliver unmatched comfort for boys, dads, uncles and grandpas. With our signature brown undies that cleverly hide skid marks, this collection is a tribute to family, laughter, and the luxurious feel of modal. Here’s the story of how we designed, patterned, and developed a line that’s redefining comfort for every generation.

The Inspiration: A Family Legacy of Comfort and Laughter

Andrew’s love for comfort started young, when he’d hunt for the softest cotton underwear or socks with “foof foofs” to escape the itch of rough kids’ clothing. As a parent, he noticed a gap: while girls had cozy, stylish options, boys were stuck with stiff, cartoon-covered cotton underwear that prioritized cost over comfort. The real spark came during a FaceTime call with his dad, “Topper,” when Andrew’s potty-training son left a familiar trail of skid marks. Topper laughed, sharing that Andrew was the same as a kid—and admitted he still occasionally tossed stained underwear rather than deal with the evidence.

That moment of generational bonding over a shared, messy truth became the heart of Topper & Sons. Andrew envisioned a high-end underwear line in brown—a nod to Topper’s skid-mark wisdom—that would unite boys, dads, and grandpas with luxurious comfort and a practical wink. When he couldn’t find soft, brown underwear for his son or himself, he took matters into his own hands, spending nearly two years crafting the perfect collection.

Step 1: Choosing Modal for a Silky Revolution

Our mission was to create underwear 10 times softer than anything boys had worn before, with the same premium feel for dads and grandpas. After testing countless fabrics, we landed on a stretchy modal blend, a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech tree pulp. Why modal? It’s the gold standard for comfort:

• Silky Softness: Modal’s buttery texture feels like a second skin, far surpassing scratchy cotton.
• Breathability & Moisture-Wicking: Perfect for active kids, busy dads, or lounging grandpas, modal keeps you cool and dry.
• Durability: It resists shrinking, fading, and pilling, ensuring long-lasting wear.
• Eco-Friendly: Produced in a sustainable, closed-loop process, modal aligns with our commitment to the planet.

Modal outshone cotton, polyester, and bamboo in softness and longevity, becoming the cornerstone of our vision to bring luxurious comfort to every generation.

Step 2: Designing for Generational Comfort

Designing underwear for boys, men, and seniors meant balancing diverse needs while staying true to our comfort-first ethos. Inspired by Andrew’s childhood hunt for “foof foof” softness, our team focused on:

• Tailored Fits: Boys get roomy designs for endless adventures. Dads enjoy structured support for work or play. Grandpas get relaxed, easy fits for all-day ease.
• Seamless Comfort: Flatlock seams and tagless waistbands eliminate irritation, especially for sensitive young skin or grandpas who hate fuss.
• Soft, Stay-Put Waistbands: Our non-rolling, elastic waistbands offer gentle stretch that moves with you, whether you’re climbing trees or sipping coffee.
• Signature Brown Hue: Our rich brown colorway hides skid marks with style, turning a practical choice into a family badge of honor. It’s a tribute to Topper’s humor and a solution for life’s little messes.

We sampled countless prototypes, to ensuring our signature underwear felt like a hug from modal’s silky embrace. The matching brown undies became our unifying thread, sparking smiles across generations.

Step 3: Patterning with Precision

We crafted a size-inclusive pattern that fit growing boys, active dads, and wise grandpas like a glove.

We worked with fit models across ages, refining patterns until testers raved, “This is the comfiest underwear I’ve ever worn!” Andrew’s childhood quest for softness guided every decision.

Step 4: Development and Rigorous Testing

Bringing TOP UNDERWEAR to life took nearly two years of relentless refinement. We partnered with ethical manufacturers who shared our passion for quality and sustainability. The development process was meticulous:

• Fabric Trials: We tested our 95% modal blend for softness, stretch, and durability, ensuring it stayed vibrant and shape-true through countless washes. Our brown dye was custom-formulated to resist fading, keeping skid marks discreet.
• Family Feedback: Prototypes went to real families—kids who played hard, dads who hustled, and grandpas who lounged. Their input shaped everything from waistband elasticity to leg openings.
• Skid-Mark Solution: We perfected the brown shade to camouflage stains while looking sleek, ensuring practicality never compromised style.

Andrew’s pickiness drove us to revise until every detail was perfect, from the silky feel to the last stitch.

Step 5: Infusing Family Spirit

TOP UNDERWEAR isn’t just about underwear—it’s about family. The brown undies nod to Topper’s skid-mark confession, turning an embarrassing truth into a shared laugh. Subtle details like embossed logos and contrast stitching add a premium touch, but the real magic is the feeling: comfort that runs in the family. As Andrew says, “Top Underwear isn’t about being seen; it’s about being felt.”

The Result: Comfort That Unites Generations

The TOP UNDERWEAR Modal Underwear Collection is a labor of love, born from Andrew’s childhood obsession with softness and a funny family moment that sparked a revolution. Boys get underwear that’s 10 times comfier than the stiff cotton of the past. Dads enjoy premium support that keeps up with their hustle. Grandpas revel in relaxed luxury. And with our brown undies, every generation gets a practical, stylish solution for life’s messier moments.
