Discriminating people everywhere have bean educated to know that underwear is the article of apparel that really requires the greatest care in its selection. The ideal underwear for but weather must be light in weight, durable, absorbent and elastic. For these reasons the porous principle in underwear is the solution of the hot-weather problem. The pores in the fabric ars in reality little cells that permit the air to circulate between the outer clothing. and the skin. These little chambers allow the heat from-the body to evaporate before it has a chance to ecodinze and form. perspiration, thus keeping the body dry and cont

Underwear however, must be more than porous to be comfort- able; it must be elastic. Elasticity is of prime importance as it allqwa the garment to give fall play to the movements of the body and prevents it from chafing and binding. Keepkool anderwear is the only brand that fulfil all of these necessary conditions. It is porous for coolness, alastio for comfort, lock stitched for durability, and absorbent for health. No other brand selling at popular prices contains all of these necessary festures.
