Glad you decided to check them out. I hope you like them Seul. I'm pretty picky about shit. So I am sure they will suit you just fine.

@Filthy:

I think of stuff like this all the time but usually only post the highlights because nobody every responds or shows any interest….

what doesn't need to mean that nobody is interested, just maybe lazy…

That's fair. I don't read everything here so I am just as guilty as the laziest person here.

@Filthy 21/23oz junkie I hope you didn't read any rudeness in my request, because there was absolutely none on my end and I apologize if my tone came across like a dick, not my intent whatsoever …just trying to build up this thread as I think people are sure to find it informative

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Oh shit, my bad. I didn't think you were being rude at all. I'm sorry you thought I thought you were being rude. I guess it is the use of the word behest. Yikes, I'm sorry.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Also I just saw the post was moved here anyhow. Idk what's up with that. But sorry everyone.

[Dstauffer]

LOL, I had to look the word up as it is no in my vocabulary and the first definition I came across was "to command" and I thought, oh shit, I came across as a dick…again

Glad we're both all good 

[neph93]

I applaud your use of the word behest. It’s a great word. I read no rudeness anywhere by the way.

Thanks for the underwear tips. This time of the year I walk around in full woolen long johns if it gets cold enough (it’s -11C today, but no wind so I’m OK).

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I understood it is an urgent request. But no worries. All good.

New discovery for me:

Rapha Cycling Merino boxer briefs. They make wonderful cycling gear, so I thought I'd give their boxer briefs a try.

Holy shit, this is good stuff. Keeps me cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Wicks moisture, comfortable all day, and super soft. They also don't ride up at all which is usually a deal breaker for me with boxer briefs.

Buy 3 pairs and they're a lot cheaper, and they're on sale now!  https://www.rapha.cc/us/en_US/shop/merino-boxers/product/USH06XXDBU

I find it fascinating that quite a few folks almost don't care a bout their underwear, but socks…well don't mind paying out more. One of the reasons I like small brand batch made clothing such as IH is that there is an ethic in not churning out mass produced crap. I try to buy ethical and well when I can, and that would extend to the boxer shorts I wear.

I'm also a taller, bigger guy, and given the number of jeans that are made with a lower back rise these days I have to wear a British style boxer short, which I find comfortable. I also don't think the world needs to see my arse crack when I Bend over if I'm wearing a brief style short 

[neph93]

What ethical undie brands do you buy @Stuart.T ?

@Stuart.T:

i've always thought about this myself, but then when I see boxer shorts at like £25 a piece  ???

[Stuart.T]

@neph93 http://moralfibres.co.uk/ethical-mens-underwear/ The reason I first became interested in quality denim is because the production values and standards applied by certain producers. It appealed to me just as much as the aesthetic and heritage. I'm not going to lie, I cut my teeth on the hardcore punk and metal aesthetic, which basically owes much of it's iconography to 50/60s rock and roll. If it was purely about the later I could just buy Levis LVC brand

@Niro the prices people are happy to pay for a pair of boots, jackets, etc for excellent quality brands such as IH and Wesco suggests the proportionately £25 isn't that much for underwear.

The other thing that amazes me is that our female folk often think nothing of paying double that for underwear, and often don't have much choice either.
