Traditional boxers have a button fly. Ours don’t. Here’s the reasoning, and why almost nobody asks for one back.
Flies gape
Especially on loose boxers worn as shorts. A closed front keeps the print clean and you decent on the balcony.
Nobody uses them
Honestly. On a relaxed-leg boxer, the leg opening does the job.
Cleaner print, cleaner wash
No button to crack in the machine, no seam interrupting the pattern.
Fly-free and fuss-free on the men’s rack.
Good to know
Men’s rack: The men’s rack currently holds sixteen prints. From Black Casino and Black Playstation to Green Sher Khan, Brown Old Tech and Multicolour Childhood Scenery. All in the same relaxed cut, cotton poplin, inner elastic and back pocket. Prices start at ₹400.
Travel: Three pairs is enough for any trip: one on, one drying, one in the bag. Poplin washes in a sink with a squeeze of shampoo and dries on a hanger by morning. The back pocket holds a passport or earphones on the flight, and a loud print makes friends in hostels.
Fabric: Every Whats Down pair is cut from 100% cotton poplin. A tight, plain-weave cotton that’s smooth to the touch, breathes in Indian heat and dries fast after a wash or a swim. Unlike knitted jersey, it doesn’t cling when you sweat and it holds its shape for years, getting softer rather than thinner with each wash.
Perks: Orders over ₹999 get a surprise printed mask in the parcel; over ₹1,499 ships free; over ₹1,999 gets three surprise masks and free shipping. Three pairs of boxers is ₹1,200. The easiest way to hit the first perk and build a rotation at the same time.
Quick answers
Are these underwear or shorts?
Both. The inner elastic, back pocket and woven cotton poplin mean they pass as shorts out of the house; the relaxed cut means they sit flat under trousers.
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.
