How to care for your socks depends on the material.
For cotton and Cotton Lisle socks:
Machine wash, preferably cold (30 or 40°C maximum), with a spin of 600 to 1,000 rpm.
Wash your socks inside out and, if possible, in a laundry bag to prevent pilling and preserve the colours.
We do not recommend tumble drying or ironing your socks.
For Wool and Wool with Cashmere socks:
Hand wash (recommended) or machine wash on a wool programme (cold or 30°C only, 600 rpm spin maximum).
Wash your socks inside out and, if possible, in a laundry bag to prevent pilling and preserve the colours.
We do not recommend tumble drying or ironing.
For any out-of-stock product, you can subscribe to the 'Notify me when available' alert directly on the product page by selecting your size and entering your email address. This way, you'll be the first to know when the model you want is back in stock.
Personalisation
We can personalise your socks. Just go to the product page of each sock you’d like embroidered. There you’ll find a drop-down menu where you can enter the initials (up to 3 letters) you’d like. You’ll also need to choose whether you want them embroidered on the leg (just below the cuff) or on the ankle (visible above an ordinary shoe).
The thread colour we use for embroidery is set by default. If you’d like a particular colour, just let us know in the order notes.
Please note: if you’d like several identical socks embroidered with different initials, you’ll need to add them to your basket one by one, entering the initials for each sock (rather than adding the socks to your basket first and entering the initials afterwards).
Please check your basket to make sure your socks haven’t been duplicated when adding the initials.
We can embroider (as long as it’s possible and our machines allow it) anything you like. As well as initials, we embroider logos, names, dates, family brand marks or anything else you have in mind. If you’re interested in placing a personalised order with special embroidery, please email us at info@four-cottons.com. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible and find the best option for you.

Boxer Shorts
Our Boxer Shorts are made in Portugal, in workshops with a long textile tradition that specialise in men’s underwear. Made from premium-quality 100% cotton, they guarantee comfort and softness all day long.
A classic and timeless design, created for those who value comfort without sacrificing style. Its wide, elastic waistband provides a secure fit without being too tight. Designed with double back stitching for a better fit and added comfort.
We have sizes from S to XXL. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one for a perfect fit.
To maintain softness and original colors, we recommend washing them inside out in cold water. Do not use bleach or harsh products. Air dry for greater durability.
You can embroider your initials on the front tab of the rubber band.
The embroidery color is predetermined by our team, but if you prefer another shade, please indicate it in the order notes section and we will take it into account.
For hygiene reasons, this product is not eligible for exchanges or returns. We recommend carefully reviewing the size guide before placing your order.
