Not many people know this but until not that long ago the best pants in the world were made in Wales. They made the Wonderbra in Pontllanfraith. But then one by one the factories closed and a proud manufacturing tradition was lost.  

But the people and their wonderful skills remain. At Community Clothing we’re all about making great clothes and, by doing that, creating great jobs. With your help, we’d like to restart underwear manufacturing in the South Wales valleys.  

Please support our campaign by ordering your pants today!

We have trunks, briefs and Y fronts for men. And we have high rise pants, briefs and thongs, a soft jersey bra, a soft bralette, and a cami top for women.

They’re really good. Our women’s range is made from a super soft 100% organic cotton single jersey; the men’s from a soft but durable 100% organic cotton interlock: all knitted right here in the UK. We use only the highest quality elastics, every style has been extensively wear-tested, and every piece is hand sewn by our exceptional seamstresses in South Wales.  

You won’t find underwear this good at even twice the price. 

To restart the factory we needed a minimum production run of 5,000 pieces (ideally we wanted twice that number).  We needed money to buy fabrics and threads, to set up machines, to pay electricity bills, rent factory space and most importantly keep tea bag and biscuits jars stocked for the ladies on the production lines.

That’s where you came in. By pre-ordering with us you helped kickstart skilled jobs in a part of the UK that really needs them.

We have sold over 10,000 pieces of underwear now and have placed new orders with the manufacturer. This means more pants and most importantly more jobs. Your orders have made a huge difference to some very special families in Wales and we can not thank you enough.

Honestly, you’ll be very hard pressed to find better, at any price. They use the lowest impact cotton, they’re 100% made here in the UK meaning almost zero transport, and clean UK energy for production, and because of the quality they’ll last longer meaning even smaller environmental impact.

Buying our pants is a good thing. They’re good for you (we think you’ll love wearing them), they’re good for the planet, and they’re good for the fantastic folk who make them.   

So a big thank you from all of us for supporting our campaign.
