Where are the products manufactured?

Our products are manufactured in Portugal in workshops on a human scale. Manufacturing includes the production of the raw material but also assembly and packaging. At Akinom, we wanted to favor a short circuit between the different manufacturing players to limit our impact on this key moment in the product's life.

What is the difference between ESSENTIEL and BASICOLOR?

ESSENTIEL boxers and briefs have a waistband with exposed elastic, while the BASICOLOR waistband is covered with the same mesh as the rest of the underwear. The cut and Front Nest system are the same. However, the ESSENTIEL waistband, which is not covered, will have slightly greater elasticity than the BASICOLOR waistband.

How do the products fit?

Generally at Akinom, sizes are adjusted, if you hesitate between two sizes, we advise you to take the larger size. Our size guide can serve as an indicator, if doubt persists, contact us hello@akinom.com.

Our underwear is all available from S to 3XL, some from XS to 5XL, however, some sizes may occasionally be out of stock while waiting for restocking.

Our socks are available from 39 to 46

Product availability

To know when a product will be back in stock, you can create an alert to be notified as soon as it is restocked ;)

What is the difference between boxers and briefs?

The terms "boxer briefs" and "boxer shorts" are often used interchangeably, but they generally refer to two distinct types of men's underwear. Here are the main differences between boxer briefs and boxer shorts:

Boxer shorts are loose, wide underwear that cover a significant portion of the thighs. They have a cut similar to shorts, with a gathered elastic waistband. Boxers are more fitted and have a close-fitting cut. They usually cover a smaller portion of the thigh than boxer shorts and have a flat waistband.

Today, boxer shorts are often chosen for comfort and freedom of movement, with many men preferring them for sleep or casual activities. Boxers are often chosen for their tighter fit, which can be preferable under more fitted clothing.

How to know your men's underwear size?

It is important to know your underwear size, however, sizes vary depending on the brand and sometimes even depending on the model. It is best to always consult the size guide offered by the brands. So before you pay, measure your waistline with a tape measure!
