If your usual laundry routine is a hot wash and a high-heat dryer, Alti asks for a small change. Wash cold on a gentle cycle. Skip the high heat. Lay your boxers flat to air dry, or tumble dry on low. Follow the care label supplied with your pair.
That is a little more attention than tossing everything into the same load. We think the reason is worth being honest about: we chose Royal Alpaca and plastic-free body fabric because the materials matter to us. Looking after those materials is part of owning the pair.
Why we chose materials worth caring for
The Alti Royal Boxer Brief combines 15% Royal Alpaca with 85% TENCEL™ in its body fabric. Alpaca is an animal fiber; TENCEL fibers are made from wood-derived cellulose. We chose this blend to bring Royal Alpaca softness into the pair you reach for every morning.
These are materials with origins you can understand and a composition you can read. Our body fabric contains no polyester, nylon, or elastane. If choosing plastic-free fabric matters to you, that is a reason to feel good about the pair before you even put it on.
Made in Peru, the Royal Boxer Brief brings those material choices into an everyday essential. We think the care instructions deserve the same attention as the fabric description. You should know what owning the pair involves before adding it to your drawer.
What the small trade-off actually looks like
You do not need a new laundry ritual. You need to pay attention to the wash settings and the drying temperature. Start with the care label sewn into your pair, then build these habits into your usual routine:
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle. Keep similar colors together.
- Skip bleach and fabric softener. Follow the care label when choosing your laundry products.
- Lay flat to air dry, or tumble dry low as directed. High heat is the setting to leave out.
If you already wash cold, much of this may be familiar. The main adjustment might be taking your boxers out before the rest of the load goes into a hotter dryer. Air drying takes more elapsed time; tumble drying low can fit a different schedule. Either way, follow your pair's label.
Why that extra attention is worth it
You wear underwear for much of the day. The way it feels deserves some weight in the decision, alongside how quickly it moves through the laundry. For us, Royal Alpaca softness and plastic-free body fabric are worth selecting a gentler cycle and giving a pair a little more drying time.
For us, feeling great about owning something includes knowing what it is made from, enjoying wearing it, and understanding how to look after it. Clear care instructions belong alongside the product description. They help you decide whether the pair fits your life before you buy it.
There is satisfaction in that kind of ownership. You know why you picked the pair. You reach for it because you enjoy it. When laundry day comes, you give it the attention its materials call for. The care becomes familiar.
A small change you can make your own
Think of a favorite shirt or knit you already look after. Checking a label and choosing the right settings can become an ordinary part of laundry day. Alti asks for that same attention: wash cold, skip high heat, and give the materials the care they call for.
