Then you can “tailor” (alt term for men who are too manly to sew) yourself the dream boxers you pay too much for and still aren’t quite right! They are super easy to make, and you get all the control. Something to be said for custom clothing items that fit.

The pinpoint oxford is great, as is the covered elastic band. The striped offerings currently are made from a slightly coarser type of material.

They are far more comfortable than the seamless Polo or (gasp)Jos.A Bank ones. I think the reason is that they have more room in the rise and don't bunch. However, those Mercer ones look tempting, especially not having to pay shipping from England.gentleman machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485395378797559032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-36995903295939298132011-05-11T12:41:17.592-04:002011-05-11T12:41:17.592-04:00Your last two posts have raised all sorts of quest...Your last two posts have raised all sorts of questions that I have enough decency not to ask... except the question of boxers and shorts.<br />I am in no way an advocate of my generations love for showing boxers via low riding, but the idea of shorts short enough to expose underwear at the other opening (off the rugby pitch of course) frightens me.<br />So the question is short length. Maybe a Kenyan runner will argue but I see no need, sartorial or athletic, for a man's shorts to be less than half way down to the knee. Does the Trad advocate the wearing of "John Stocktons?"
