The underwear scene in South Africa has just got a proudly local upgrade thanks to Jockey as they relaunched their U-Pouch Short Leg Trunks. They are now fully designed, produced, and made in South Africa, offering premium comfort and quality at a price far more accessible thanks to the local production.

‘’Bringing U-Pouch production home is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. This move allows us to support local talent, strengthen our manufacturing capabilities, and deliver world-class underwear at a price that stays within reach for South Africans,’’ said Rob Hogg, National Sales Manager at Jockey South Africa.

Engineered for Comfort

The U-Pouch range has been improved for superior fit and everyday comfort. The design provides targeted support, lift, and stability – reducing friction and offering a natural, secure feel for the whole day.

The range is made from a breathable blend of 47% cotton, 47% viscose, and 6% elastane, so you get the best of both worlds combining cotton’s natural softness and airflow with viscose’s smooth, moisture-absorbing comfort. Finished with elastane for flexible stretch, the trunks move effortlessly with the body for all-day ease.

With the short-leg cut you get a clean, modern silhouette that stays in place, while the soft elastic waistband ensures comfort from the morning to the night. The range is available in Small to 2XL and caters to the needs of today’s active, style-conscious South African man.

Premium Quality, Accessible Price

Jockey has been able to reduce the selling price of this product thanks to the local production; this makes it attainable for more South Africans. The trunks come in a 2-pack value format, for even more everyday affordability.

Local Manufacturing Wins

Jockey has a long-term commitment to grow its South African production footprint and elevate local textile expertise. Each pair sold is a celebration of what local manufacturing can achieve – world class quality, proudly made at home.

One of our journalists tried them out for the day and they came back with nothing but good compliments on the look, feel, design and comfort. Try them out for yourself.
