Unique Y-Back Thong in Vintage Cotton Design

Old-school gym energy in a sexy Y-back thong. The Throwback Y-Back Thong is the pair you put on when you already know how the night ends — soft cotton jersey against skin, white ribbed trim tracing every edge, and a back that's built to be looked at.

From the front it's clean and sculpted. From behind, two straps run up to the waistband and leave everything between them bare.

Fit & Silhouette
Men's low-rise cotton Y-back thong — minimal front coverage and an open back, cut close enough that nothing shifts and nothing shows through slim denim.

Y-Back Construction
Two straps run wide across the hips and meet the center strap below, leaving open space on either side. Less fabric, more frame — and the wide set means nothing digs in.

Soft Single Knit Jersey
95% Cotton, 5% Elastane. Lightweight single knit that feels broken-in from the first wear, with just enough stretch to move when you do.

Contour Pouch
1-ply contour construction shapes and lifts with a single layer of jersey. Natural definition — no padding, no bulk, nothing to adjust.

Rise
Low-rise, sitting below the natural waist so the logo band is the first thing that shows when your jeans sit low.

Binding & Trim
White ribbed binding outlines every edge in contrast, pulling the eye along the cut and giving the whole pair its locker-room-era finish.

Waistband
1.25" elastic waistband with the C-IN2 logo repeated across a striped retro edge — the detail that reads instantly, even from across the room.

Fit note
True to size. For looser fit, size up.

Care
Machine wash.
Imported.

Throwback

Throwback runs on gym-locker nostalgia — single knit jersey, contrast ribbed binding, and a logo band lifted straight out of a 1970s catalog. Classic silhouettes, current fits.

Size Guides

Size Guide

Pick a category, find your usual size in the first column, then read across for the same size in other countries. Each table starts with body measurements so you can size from a tape measure. Where a product uses the brand's own scale, the label on that product page takes priority.

How to measure

Use a soft tape over light clothing. Keep it level and snug, not tight. Between sizes? Take the larger for outerwear, the smaller for close-fitting knits and swim.

Measurement How to take it
Chest / Bust Around the fullest part of the chest, tape under the arms and across the shoulder blades
Waist Around the natural waist, the narrowest point above the hip bones
Hips Around the fullest part of the hips and seat, feet together
Inseam From the top of the inner thigh to the ankle bone, standing straight
Foot length Stand on paper, heel to a wall, mark the longest toe; measure heel to mark. Use the longer foot
Head Around the head where a hat sits, about 1 cm (½ in) above the ears and eyebrows
Hand Around the palm at the knuckles, excluding the thumb, dominant hand
Finger Wrap paper around the finger, mark the overlap, measure in mm; or the inside diameter of a ring that fits

Measure feet and fingers at the end of the day, when they are largest.
