Classic Men's Briefs – Do They Still Exist?

Short answer: Yes, classic men's briefs still exist and are still made by quality brands, now also in soft bamboo viscose. The model without legs is cool, simple and does not squeeze the thighs, and it has a loyal following of wearers who have never switched to anything else.

The brief that survived the boxer short

Boxer shorts dominate the shelves, but the men's brief never disappeared. It is short, light and does not bunch up in the trouser leg, and older generations in particular, along with men who have hot working days, stick with it. You will find the classic models under bamboo underwear for men.

The advantages of the classic model

No fabric around the thighs means less heat and full freedom of movement. The model is also practical under slim trousers, where boxer shorts can bunch up. If you are unsure which model suits you, read the guide to bamboo underwear and fit.

The classic in a modern material

Today's men's briefs come in bamboo viscose, which is softer and far more breathable than the cotton of the past. That makes the old model noticeably more comfortable, read why in the post about bamboo and temperature regulation. See the whole basic wardrobe under bamboo underwear for men.

Frequently asked questions

Can you still buy classic men's briefs?

Yes. Several of our brands still make the classic brief without legs, including in soft and breathable bamboo viscose.

Who chooses men's briefs today?

Both men who have always worn the model, and men who want to avoid fabric around the thighs in warm weather or under slim trousers.

Are bamboo men's briefs better than cotton ones?

For most people, yes. Bamboo viscose keeps the skin drier, feels softer and controls odour better than ordinary cotton.
