Sustainabilty
What Goes Into Every Pair of Sabbes
At August Sabbe, we carefully choose every fabric to match your everyday moments — whether you’re on the move, hitting the gym, or dressing for something special.
Every material we use is selected with one goal in mind: to deliver the perfect balance of comfort, performance, quality, and sustainability.
All of our men’s underwear fabrics are made exclusively to order — meaning no excess stock and no unnecessary waste. We also ensure that every material is processed without the use of harmful dyes or chemicals — so what touches your skin is as safe as it is comfortable.
And because true comfort is in the details, every pair of Sabbes is completely tagless. Care instructions are printed directly onto the fabric, so you’ll never have to deal with scratchy labels — just pure, effortless comfort.
Simple. Strong. Comfortable.
That’s the Sabbe standard.
Sabbe Daily — Combed Cotton
95% Combed Cotton, 5% Elastane
Why we choose it: Combed cotton is the superior version of regular cotton — the fibers are combed to remove impurities and shorter strands, resulting in a fabric that is softer, stronger, and more durable. Perfect for everyday underwear that feels amazing and holds up over time.
Key benefits:
- Ultra-soft and smooth against the skin
- More durable and resistant to pilling than regular cotton
- Better shape retention — maintains fit wash after wash
- Naturally breathable — keeps you cool and comfortable all day
- Hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin
Sustainability:
Combed cotton is a natural, biodegradable material. Its durability means you replace garments less often — reducing waste and promoting more mindful consumption.
Sabbe Sports — Performance Polyester Blend
90% Polyester, 10% Elastane
Why we choose it: For activewear, nothing beats performance polyester. It’s lightweight, durable, and moisture-wicking — engineered to keep you comfortable and dry, no matter how intense the activity.
Key benefits:
- Quick-drying — keeps you dry during workouts and hot days
