Product Overview
What This Block Is And Why It Exists
A jockstrap is an elastic waistband with a support pouch and two elastic straps running from the base of the pouch to the waistband at the hip. It grades differently to a brief, which is why it carries its own size specification sheet.
The mesh back variant replaces the open strap construction with a mesh panel, which reads as underwear rather than as sports equipment and sells into a different range.
Both constructions can be produced in solid, printed or transparent mesh fabrics.
Key Benefits
- Support pouch construction with elastic leg straps.
- Mesh back alternative for ranges that need a closed back.
- Dedicated size specification rather than a brief chart reused.
- Solid, printed and transparent mesh fabric options.
Application Scenarios
Where This Block Is Used
- Sport and athletic supporter ranges
- Fashion and nightlife underwear
- Specialist online retailers
- Fitness and training brands
Who It Is For
- Retailers with an existing jockstrap category who need a manufacturer.
- Brands adding a support block to a mens range.
- Online specialists whose customers know the construction well.
- Buyers who need the size spec handled properly rather than approximated.
Problems It Solves
- Suppliers grade a jockstrap off a brief chart, and the strap placement ends up wrong.
- Elastic strap tension is the whole product, and it is rarely specified in a tech pack.
- Mesh fabrics vary enormously in opacity, and screen images tell you nothing.
- This block is not stocked by general underwear factories.

Materials
Fabric Platform
All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.
Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.
| 95% cotton / 5% spandex | The default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye. |
|---|---|
| 95% modal / 5% spandex | Cooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges. |
| 95% bamboo / 5% spandex | Marketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling. |
| 90% nylon / 10% spandex | Higher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges. |
| 95% polyester / 5% spandex | The base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink. |
| Merino wool blends | Available for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required. |
