Kent Organic Cotton Brief
100% GOTS organic cotton including the waistband - no polyester, nylon, or elastane anywhere. The rare genuinely plastic-free pair, and compostable at end of life.
The verdict: Plastic-free
Body and fabric-covered waistband are both 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, with no elastane, nylon, or polyester in the garment - including the band, which is where nearly every competitor hides plastic. Stretch comes from the cotton knit rather than synthetic elastic, and the boxer version uses a natural corozo-nut button. Designed to be compostable, which is only possible because there's no plastic in it.
