Besides the camouflage, Hoss can produce corsets with other unexpected fabrics like plaid, paisley, and prints.Even though the total number of corset styles is under ten, the combinations of fabrics and styles produce a great number of unique looking pieces. This is style “S-100″ in just four different fabrics but with three different finished lengths. The first corset is finished cleanly in descending V. Other options include a matching skirted bottom with lace undercoating and a neat extension with suspenders. Since these are custom made, pricing varies. If you need a corset, Hoss International likely has a style that you would like.

Other high-end retailers have launched underwear lines in order to promote consumer loyalty and to gain more exposure by offering a segway into their brands. While Burberry launches more collections, designer underwear seems to be a natural fit.

In addition to the possibility of an underwear line, Bailey added that the new formats for the stores was well received and that more refurbished stores were on the way. Revenues were higher as a result of the new formats, which focus on a “southern” fresh concept and a “northern” cosier look.

Still growing strong after 150 years, the Burberry underwear collection should be a smashing success. We will have to wait and see if the first pair of undies will be fashioned after their trademark check (or plaid depending on where you live).
