BVD
BVD is a brand of men's underwear, which are commonly referred to as" BVDs."
The brand was founded in 1876 and named after the three founders of the New York City firm Bradley, Voorhees& Day( thus" B.V.D.").
The term came to be used, however incorrectly, for any underwear in the style popularized by BVD.
The BVD brand, originally produced for men and women, in the United States is now produced solely for men by Fruit of the Loom.
The BVD brand is also sold in Japan.

Reed (weaving)
A reed is part of a weaving loom, and resembles a comb.
It is used to separate and space the warp threads, to guide the shuttle's motion across the loom, and to push the weft threads into place.
The reed is securely held by the beater, and consists of a frame with many vertical slits.
Floor looms and mechanized looms both use a beater with a reed, whereas Inkle weaving and tablet weaving do not use reeds.
