Advice sought on my new purchase

Hi all,

I thought this may be a good place to start as we're all men and wear underwear

I currently where briefs but I'm after some 'boxies'

Can anyone point me in the right direction of any good brands, stores

Thanks

Brick Lane Boxies are pretty good, if a little over-priced..

Thanks, I heard they may be way overpriced though?

i bumped into Aidan ( ginger one) the other way on his way to buy some underwear in Angel ( or some other north London location) . He sounded like he knew what he was talking about, so i'd seek his expert opinion, and definitely go to north london to complete the purchase.

Pants are for bums. Get yourself some Long Johns.

Y fronts FTY

yeah.. If your parents aren't rich enough to get you a good NJS pair you can always convert like this guy

These are good

I heard on the grapevine that ASM has got some of those Arrojocks in loads of colours.

If your knew to the boxie scene, you should probably go OTP to start with. M&S get a good write up, but you do see them everywhere.

If you want something a bit more niche, try Sunspel. They also cater specifically to the hipster.

go boxerless™ FTW. Gives you a more zen like feeling.

skid patches?

Thanks for all your help guys but I think the way forward is to just buy all the components seperately, cotton, thread, buttons, waistband and make my first build that way? I wanna be able to 'ride like a messenger' so comfort is essential

What is this "underwear" that people are referring to?

DIY is OK, but you should look into the NJS-approved testiku brand. They're woven in silk by master craftsmen whose ancestors were making pants for samurai.

You can only get them second-hand and in a size small, though.

Research it and build us a list

sometimes if you are lucky, they already have authentic skid marks, the true sign of a tracked-up hipster

Howies merino wool boxers. You only need two pairs as you can wear one pair for three days and wash the others (if needed) then swap them over.

12 days if you also wear them backwards then inside out and then backwards again

TKmaxx for underwear! Top quality stuff (CK an all that) for dirt cheap. I find Bench undergarments very good.

Plus, last time I was there they were selling MYLA lingerie for about a quarter of what it costs in the shops, good present for the missus.

@jb commuter - I tried that but the gf complained about the 11 day old skidmarks.

Actually, sorry for the thread hijack Graham, but I've learnt how to skid and I'm after a pair of undies that won't wear through as fast as my current ones. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pair of skid resistant boxers?

Does anyone actually ride in old-fashioned boxers?!? It's fucking impossible!!! I nearly ripped a 'nad off the last time I tried... Boxer briefs FTW!
