Boxers Myths, Busted

Six things people believe about boxers that aren’t true.

  1. “Boxers are only for sleeping.” Inner elastic + pocket + poplin = shorts.
  2. “Printed means cheap.” Digital printing is the premium method.
  3. “Cotton always shrinks.” Only with heat. Cold wash, line dry.
  4. “Loose means unsupportive.” Loose means cool; support is a brief’s job.
  5. “Women don’t wear boxers.” Our women’s rack disagrees.
  6. “One size up is safer.” Only if you mostly lounge; measure.

Facts on the rack.

Good to know

Sizing: Sizes run S to XL with a waist chart in inches and centimetres on every product page. Measure where your boxers will sit, just below the navel, and land in the middle of a range. Between sizes? Go one up if you mostly lounge and sleep in them, true to size for wearing under jeans.

Women’s rack: The women’s rack is cut for women, not scaled down from men’s: a slightly higher rise, a shorter leg and a waist that stays put. Black & White Roses, Maroon Umbrella, Vertical Boho, Spot the Panda, Snakes & Lads and White Nautical, in S–XL.

Gifting: Printed boxers are the rare gift that gets used. Pick the print that matches the person. Gamer, musician, gym obsessive, permanent holidaymaker. And get the size by measuring a pair they already own flat across the waistband and doubling it. When in doubt, one size up.

Waistband: We sew the elastic inside a fabric casing, so nothing rubs your skin and nothing shows through trousers. There’s no drawstring to knot or lose in the wash; the inner elastic keeps you in place on its own, flexing after lunch and snapping back when you stand up.

Quick answers

What sizes do you make?

S to XL, with a waist chart in inches and centimetres on each product page. Go one up if you’re between sizes and mostly lounge.

Can women wear the men’s prints?

Yes. Size down one; the men’s cut has a lower rise and longer leg.
