Quick answer
Choose your usual size in the Aubade Homme Boxer Gold Koï for a close, supportive fit, then wash it cold on a gentle cycle and air-dry to protect the stretch cotton modal fabric and the printed design.
Why the fabric blend matters for fit and care
The Gold Koï boxer is made from a stretch cotton modal blend, which gives it softness and a bit of give. That stretch means the boxer will move with you, but it also means the fit should be snug rather than loose—if it feels baggy when you first put it on, it may stretch out further with wear.
Modal is a semi-synthetic fiber known for its smooth, silky feel and moisture management, but it can be more delicate than pure cotton. To keep the fabric soft and the colors vibrant, avoid high heat and harsh detergents.
The Gold Koï design: what to expect
The boxer features a distinctive Japanese-inspired print of koi carp with gold and white accents. The waistband has a tone-on-tone Aubade logo, and the sides are seam-free for comfort. A reinforced panel at the crotch adds support.
Because the print is inkjet-printed, it may be more sensitive to abrasion and high temperatures. Turning the boxer inside out before washing helps protect the design.
How to choose, wear and care for your Gold Koï boxer
- Check the size chart and measure: Use a soft tape to measure your waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest. Compare with Aubade's size chart for men's underwear. If you're between sizes, size down for a snug fit—the stretch fabric will relax slightly with wear. A good fit should feel supportive but not tight; the waistband shouldn't dig in.
- Try them on with the right underwear: Wear the boxer over your usual underwear for a trial, or without if you prefer. Check that the leg openings don't ride up and the waistband stays flat. Move around, sit, and squat to test comfort. If the boxer bunches or twists, it may be too large; if it leaves deep marks, it's too small.
- Wash inside out on a gentle cycle: Turn the boxer inside out to protect the print. Machine wash cold (max 30°C) on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Skip the spin cycle or use low spin to prevent stretching.
- Air-dry flat or hang: Lay the boxer flat to dry or hang it on a line away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry—heat can damage the elastic waistband and shrink the modal blend. If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp.
- Store folded, not hung: Keep boxers folded in a drawer to maintain their shape. Hanging can stretch the waistband over time. Rotate your underwear regularly to extend its lifespan.
