The surface of Etoile 841 that touches the skin is made of soft, fluffy cotton. The original pique knit stretches in all directions – vertically, horizontally, and diagonally – providing excellent cushioning! The shorts are circular knit, so the sides don't feel bulky, and they're so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing them. Although it's new and unused, it has a name written on it. Please consider this and understand before purchasing.
