I sported these bad boys all last week, even reusing a pair day after day to see how they hold up to a possible walk of shame. You know, for science. I’m happy to report a good fit, ample support, and decent results in the oh-so-important “bulge-factor.” Medium is the right way to go if you’re more than 6′ or 150lbs.

The BR4SS design language is modern and playful, with big, loud patterns and accents. Probably the best feature of all is that these are a pair of boxer briefs that actually have a functional button-fly. Such a blessing.

I’m confident that most of us need an upgrade to our underwear drawer. And as long as you’re going to make a statement about yourself with your choice, it’s worth putting in a little extra effort to go beyond the expected Polo or CK. BR4SS definitely stands out, and stands up to daily use. They’re a good statement to make, and one that may see you sharing the view with others.

It wasn’t until I heard from a friend about Icebreaker, a New Zealand-based purveyor of merino wool. So I thought, “Okay, a different kind of sheep but the same nemesis to my skin.” All I had known was the frilly and irritating qualities of a more robust and un-wearable clothing, especially without anything other than a long sleeve shirt underneath.

Now I’m wearing wool closer than I ever thought possible. Hugging my peaches in a cocoon of lightweight merino wool, the Icebreaker Anatomic Boxers are stylish, highly breathable and you know what; they don’t itch! You can wear these and your sweat literally doesn’t absorb in the way cotton does. If you were ever searching for a pair that could be worn two days in a row—after physical activity—and not smell like the inside of Guy Fieri’s belly-button, the Anatomica line of boxers (and briefs) combat stank better than a hit of pow-pow.

After spending a night, and a day, in the same boxers—for testing purposes, of course—in Atlantic City during a bachelor party and coming home to my fiancé who was none the wiser, I’d have to say they worked in concealing whatever lurked beneath. Some old-school things are cool: vintage signs, classic cars, and old guitars, but we’re thankful that modern merino wool exists for the sake of comfort and technology.
