Swim Briefs

HEDI VARY is an independent European menswear label founded by a master tailor and built on precision in cut, material integrity and controlled production.

The brand approaches design through construction rather than trend. Historical pattern references are reinterpreted into clear, contemporary silhouettes — structured, close to the body and defined by proportion.

Material origin defines every collection.

Industrial deadstock fabrics are sourced within the European Union before disposal and reconstructed into limited pieces. Selected styles are produced from recycled polyester and printed with low-impact dyes. The majority of materials are manufactured within the EU — with a clear commitment to sourcing entirely within Europe wherever possible.

HEDI VARY deliberately collaborates with small and medium-sized European suppliers, maintaining short supply chains, transparent standards and consistent quality control. Production remains within Europe by choice.

Availability is determined by material. Once a fabric is exhausted, the design is not reproduced.

No mass inventory.

No excess stock.

Independent construction.

Limited by origin.

Built in Europe.

Our approach to materials and sourcing is based on careful fabric selection, collaboration with specialised partners within the European Union and limited production runs.

The focus lies on material quality, durability and responsible sourcing throughout the entire process.

European sourcing

All materials and production partners are located within the European Union.

Working with specialised suppliers within the EU allows us to maintain close relationships with the people involved in the manufacturing process and provides greater transparency throughout the supply chain.

Shorter distances between material sourcing, production and distribution also help reduce unnecessary transport.

Deadstock fabrics

Whenever possible we work with deadstock fabrics.

Deadstock refers to high-quality materials that remain unused from previous productions or discontinued collections. Instead of producing new fabrics unnecessarily, these existing materials are integrated into new products.

Using deadstock fabrics allows valuable textile resources to remain in circulation while giving carefully selected materials a second life.

Because deadstock materials are often available only in limited quantities, some products may also be produced in limited runs.

Responsible materials and printing

For selected products we collaborate with partners who produce recycled fabrics or incorporate recycled fibres into their materials.

Certain fabrics used in our products, such as cotton jersey, are OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring that they meet recognised standards for textile safety.

Print designs are developed in-house and produced with specialised partners within the European Union.

Printing is carried out using environmentally responsible dyes and printing processes.

Limited production

Collections are manufactured in small production runs.

This approach allows us to focus on carefully selected materials and well-made products designed for long-term use.

Circular Fabric Standard

Part of our material sourcing follows the principles of the Circular Fabric Standard (CFS).

CFS promotes circular material systems within the textile industry by encouraging the reuse of existing textile resources and reducing the need for newly produced fabrics.

By integrating these principles into our sourcing strategy, we aim to support more responsible material cycles while maintaining high standards for fabric quality and performance.

Size & Fit

Which sizes does HEDI VARY offer?

All garments are available in sizes S–XL. A detailed size chart is provided on each product page and in the Size Guide.

How do I determine my correct size?

Please refer to the Size Guide for exact measurements.

What if I am between two sizes?

If you are between sizes, your choice depends on the desired fit. For a more defined, closer silhouette, choose the smaller size. For slightly more ease and comfort, choose the larger size.

How do the garments fit?

HEDI VARY pieces are constructed with a precise, body-aware cut developed through tailoring principles. The fit is close to the form while maintaining comfort and structural balance.

How are the swimwear and underwear pieces cut?

The silhouette is subtly defined through construction — without padding or artificial shaping. Form follows cut.

Materials & Care

Which materials are used?

We work with OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, recycled polyester and selected EU-sourced deadstock fabrics. Material details are always specified on the individual product page.

Are all products OEKO-TEX® certified?

All cotton styles are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. Certification details for other materials are listed where applicable.

How should I care for my garment?

Please follow the care instructions on the garment label and product page.

How can I extend the lifespan of my product?

Gentle washing cycles and avoiding tumble drying will help preserve fabric quality and colour while reducing environmental impact.
