Also goodĪ well crafted pair of underwear that is comfortable and will last a long time. We’d also like to see some sort of recycling/disposal programme where old or worn out pairs can be sent back to the company for recycling alá Patagonia and others. We'd like more transparency around their factory in Portugal, more transparency about their lyocell material, its environmental impact, and manufacturing process. What we’d like to see improvedĪs CDLP’s founders themselves say, they “are not perfect”. If you only want to own a single model of boxer brief, these should be it. In the entire rotation this is the only pair I really looked forward to putting on. This is the best pair of underpants I've ever owned. It was reminiscent of a Mr Porter or Apple box opening experience. The bright yellow box the underwear arrives in was not only visually arresting, but made the unboxing feel special. The garments themselves exude a premium but understated feeling which is preferable to the brash loudness found in a lot of mens underwear. We were also impressed by CDLP’s presentation. This reduces the price per pair to a relatively reasonable £19. Combining the three pack with a three month subscription reduces the price to £59 every three months. A three pack costs £75, reducing the price per pair to £25 (a nine pack reduces the price per pair to £21.60 but costs an eye watering £195). The price per pair can be brought down significantly by multipacks and CDLP's " Automatique" subscription service. £29 is expensive for a pair of underwear but its on par with others also made in developed countries. They are also durable: After six months of weekly wears and washes they show no issues. The Portuguese manufacture oozes quality and means you’ll be supporting well paid workers. The waistband seam is moved off centre, preventing irritation in the small of the wearer’s back. The printed label on the inside is an excellent touch, avoiding the irritation of fabric labels. The material did have a slightly unusual sheen but this lessened on the body of the garment after a few washes (but remained on the waistband). The unusual lyocell material was light, soft and has significant stretch. They were the most comfortable fit, perfectly hugging the wearer in a reassuring and supportive way. Made in Portugal.ĬDLP’s Boxer Brief came out top in our testing. They're not quite so hard on the wallet in multipacks and subscriptions. Best overallĪn incredibly comfortable pair of underwear thanks to their light and airy lyocell material and lack of a fabric label.

During this quest I've researched over 20 pairs of underwear, and wore and washed 13 pairs over six months (and I will continue to test and update this guide accordingly). The reason? I'm investing the time and money now, upfront, so I never have to think about what underwear I buy ever again. Over the past six months I've been on a personal crusade to find the best pair of mens boxer briefs. We bought all 13 pairs tested using our own money and there are no referral or affiliate links contained in this post. This first post focuses on finding the best pair of boxer briefs. We’ll be reviewing categories of clothing in hopes of finding the best item(s) in that category. It’s by the team behind Epochs, a now defunct menswear blog.
