COTTON LINEN Jersey - Why not use 100% linen?

I want to make linen underwear.

However, there is a reason why we didn't use 100% linen...

100% linen innerwear is also comfortable.

However, it is not stable enough to knit thin, stretchy jersey suitable for underwear.

You can fully feel the texture of linen and also the softness of Supima cotton.

The fabric has an excellent balance of 70% cotton and 30% linen, making it a stable material.

"Isn't that too little for linen underwear?"

If you just look at the numbers, you might think so...

However, we recommend you try it once and you will be convinced of the presence of linen.

Rare machines and reliable craftsmanship

The fabric is knitted using a circular molding machine used for underwear.

All underwear used to be made by this machine.
It is knitted into a tube shape to fit the waist size of the clothing, so there are no seams on the sides of the underwear.

There are no seams at the hem or where the rib knit changes to stockinette knit, so the seam allowances do not touch the body.

It is said that only a few of these machines remain in Japan today.

The reason why they have become so valuable is that in order to mass-produce them efficiently, high-speed machines that can handle anything from underwear to outerwear have become mainstream.

And overseas production bases have become locations where cheap labor can be used.



The old machines run slowly.

Because it moves slowly, it can knit thin threads without breaking them, resulting in a thin, delicate fabric.

It creates a fluffy and stretchy texture without putting any stress on the fabric.


Because it is an old and delicate machine, it requires detailed settings.

Having reliable craftsmen is essential.

Colors and details that appeal to women

When you think of linen underwear, the word "natural" comes to mind.

The materials are natural, but natural is not HÉRNI's image.

I create my underwear while thinking about what kind of underwear would lift my spirits and fill me with happiness, allowing me to be myself.

That's why the color is so vibrant.

"Beige rose" is a pale pink that is close to skin color, while "charcoal" is a soft, ink-black with a reddish tint.

The design has also been finished with details that will appeal to women.
