aussieBum has successfully broken the Guinness World Record by producing the world's largest pair of underwear on international Guinness World Records Day. The underwear, constructed from a dazzling red Sensitive(R) fabric provided by leading Italian fabric firm Euro jersey, took over two months to produce.
Measuring in at 15.9 metres (50.85 ft) wide and 10.55 metres (36 ft)high, with a waist circumference of 32 metres (105 ft), the mammoth underwear includes 300 metres of fabric (985 ft), 500 metres (1640.5 ft) of wide-width elastic, 5000 metres (16404 ft) of cotton, a 1.5 x 6 metre (5 x19.6 ft) logo, and they weigh in at a whopping 180 kg.
The statistics smash the current record of 14.4 metres (47.2 ft) wideand 10.48 metres high.
The garment was so large that even sail makers could not help with the production. The aussieBum team spent hours on their hands and knees, hand stitching the underwear, with a team of people feeding the fabric and elastic through an industrial sewing machine.
Euro jersey put its faith into the project by generously donating 300 metres of Sensitive(R) fabric. The incredibly soft, light and easy-to-handle nature of the Sensitive(R) fabric helped aussieBum achieve this challenge.
