Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

[luvthatlulu]

I was flown (WSO/EWO/GIB). I was at Eglin AFB in 1973-74 so I know some of the area well! Had the distinct pleasure of being "shot down" by a VF-84 Tomcat over the Gulf during routine joint-ACM training. Still have a bad taste for "navel a-vee-a-tors" for that reason--but have a healthy respect for them as well as they invariably kept the MiG drivers at bay while I worked in SE Asia.

You guys do a helluva job and if I had to choose between doing your job and fishing--it's fishing every time. Sorry for the misdrops but occasionally we get distracted by all the 27/37/57mm rounds rattling around in the airframe during our runs!:cheers1:

Man we are going off topic here. But during one exercise at Eglin we called in a Spectre on a night target: a couple shacks and some hulks. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. A few whispering lights and some poofs and then everything was gone. We were just inside a tree line when we called in the strike. Everyone was stunned

After the strike the Flyboys banked our way and turned their searchlight right on us (talk about technology). Their smart-ass 6 came over the radio and said, "I see you!" I flipped him the bird and said, "now see this!"

That proves you're braver than I am!

No undies? Yikes! I'm afraid of what would happen.

I wonder who makes the issue ones, and if they're available as surplus...

The Marines still issue brown and tan underwear. You can buy them straight from the manufacturer: http://www.camapp.com/briefs.cgi

But for me I like boxers in the summer (keeps the boys cool) and boxerbriefs in the winter (keeps the boys warm).

This is my favorite thread ever.

Boys only $ally!

I looked at the link for the Marine Corps briefs. Shall we now start a debate about military colors?

Look at the under shirts found at the same link. I opine that what they call "Army brown" is actually "olive drab" (OD). And that what they call "OD Green" is actually "woodland green".

These are important matters to me, and these people just need to get it right! :rage:

M8 lol

Definitely boxer briefs...I'm quite active and am also prone to random bouts of backflips and dancing...Thus, boxers are not the way to go. Plus, I like the way they look.

I don't dance but agree with your assessment of the boxer brief. It feels like superhero underwear.

You get rust stains in your underwear?

Those new fangled low carb high iron diets.

You misunderstood something when people told you to iron your clothing.

 

[carebear]

I didn't think brass rusted?

It's a shame they don't sell any flyless boxer briefs. I've been looking for some forever, but they always have a "pouch" feature, which I dislike. Of course, it's not nearly as bad as some of the monstrosities at International Male. :eusa_doh:

Re: international male.

Looks like normal underwear to me.

You haven't looked at the uh... enhancement pouches, have you?

I've worn boxers since middle school, but lately I've begun playing the pipe organ again. For those who don't know, organ technique requires that the organist sit with the knees and heels held tightly together, so that he can gauge intervals on the pedalboard. Because of this, I've discovered I need some more supportive underwear than I currently have.

I saw in some other threads that boxer-briefs have a following, and I wanted to ask for recommendations on makers and sellers.

Hanes, available at most stores.

Believe it or not...

... the guy in the tighty-whities from Rocky Horror ("Brad") is Barry Bostwidk, the Mayor from "Spin City".

Another pro for briefs (not white ones) is that they leave both hands free. It's like a friendly hand on your package at all times. Very reassuring.

Boxer-briefs are the goods. The cut is very important. My BVD boxer-briefs are perfect, but the Dockers boxer-briefs I recently bought (because J.C. Penney was out of the BVDs) are cut too short in the leg. They're just not as comfortable.
