Boxer Brief Lucky Penny

Thunderpants US

Thunderpants US makes full-coverage underwear and related basics, including hipsters, high-rise styles, boxer briefs, bralettes, camis and bike shorts. The pieces are cut to follow the body's curves so they stay in place without riding up, and the binding is cut from the same fabric rather than elastic. The brand uses its own fabric blend of 90% organic cotton and 10% spandex, with cotton described as fair trade certified. Fabric is milled and printed in Los Angeles and the garments are sewn in Portland, Oregon. The US company was launched in 2016, building on the Thunderpants brand started in New Zealand in 1995. The company describes a slower growth model that puts fairness ahead of profit, roots itself in the local economy and supports several non-profits. Good On You rates Thunderpants US Good overall, scoring it Great for planet and Good for people. It notes the brand's high use of organic cotton, limited production runs and recyclable packaging, and also notes there is no evidence of living wages across the supply chain.
