This pair was furnished for review by Andrew Christian.

I will start by saying that boxer briefs and trunks are not my first choice of underwear.  So when I pulled out this pair I did;t expect them to be on regular rotation.  I first noticed that the fabric was very soft. The anatomically correct pouch was going to leave very little to the imagination. Lastly, the waistband only said BLACK with no Andrew Christian in sight.

These were my choice for a typical Monday at the office, under jeans.  When first pulling them on I was pleased by how they felt so broken in already. Its like they had been washed over and over.  I’m definitely a fan of fabrics like that.  The pouch was supportive and comfortable even though it leaves a less than attractive silhouette in my opinion.  I was nicely surprised by the fact that the legs really didn’t ride up too much under my pants. The pouch wasn’t as obvious under my IMG_1494clothes as I had anticipated.  I did have to make occasional adjustments to the pouch throughout the day but not enough to be a problem.  A nice, light pair of underwear for a workday – or even lounging since they’re so soft.

These were a medium (30-32) and they fit true to size.  The fabric has a LOT of stretch. If you like things a bit tight, you could size down if you’re on the lower end of the size range.  I’m a 31-32 and these were fine.  If you’re a true 30, you should get the small.

This collection also comes in a brief which I will try next and the colors available are black, blue and red.

Overall, the Black Collection Boxer was a great pair and will be in my rotation every so often – especially when I want to show off a bit.

PROS

– very soft material

– showy pouch for guys that are into that

CONS

– limited color selection

– some pouch adjustments needed throughout the day

– silhouette of anatomically correct pouch isn’t very attractive (IMO)
