James Tudor is not a brand I am familiar with, so when I received it I had not preconceived notions as to what to expect from them. The pair received was the Military Brief in White in a size medium.   When I took them out of the package, I was unsure about how I would like them.  Usually I can tell by looking at a pair if they are going to work for me or not.  With these, I had no clue.  95% cotton, 5% elastane, the distinct button fall front certainly piqued my curiosity.

These briefs were very comfortable from the start.  The waistband, with the bold James Tudor logo, fit snugly without being too tight.  As did the leg openings.   The contrast stitching on the seat gives a nice look and aids in providing the rear support that some of us need.  I don’t normally wear briefs with a fly front or any sort of opening, so I was curious how the button down “fall” front would work.  Inside the brief there is an opening that the goods naturally fit through when you put them on.  So in order to go to the restroom, you unbutton and lower the front flap.    Which for me seemed a little cumbersome.  You can’t just “whip it out” when you have to go, making the quick trip to the restroom a little longer than usual.

Available in white, blue, and black, this brief is definitely an eye catcher.

Being a novice at men’s underwear and loving the opportunity to try different pairs I have learned a lot about what I like, don’t like, want to try, etc.  I have seen different brands and styles and have looked at them with a raised eyebrow of confusion or with an intrigue and longing to try.  Writing for this blog has provided me some great opportunities to “test drive” some undies and report back my thoughts, findings, etc.

I am proud to have had the opportunity to wear a pair of James Tudor underwear.  When I first received them I wasn’t sure about how the button fly and easy access went together but figured I would give them a try and see.  To my amazement it was not difficult to access.  All I had to do is pop the top button and I was able to take care of personal business.  Buttoning them back up was not that difficult either.

The material is 95% cotton and 5% Lycra.  The piping creates an amazing frame around the hips.  The tags are placed in non-irritating locations and are not rough to the touch, indicating great thought and design in the creative process.

A personal love of mine is trying underwear I thought, in the not too distant past, I would never have the chance to try.  The feeling of sliding new exciting underwear into place is one that cannot be described in words.  A chance to try underwear from another country…well, that can provide this exact feeling.  I am proud to have had the opportunity to wear a pair of James Tudor underwear.

The James Tudor Half Fall Boxer
The James Tudor Half Fall Boxer

From across “the pond”, James Tudor rises as an innovative new brand in the UK.  The motivation, it seems, behind this new brand is the need and desire of men to have underwear that meets the growing demand of fashion and comfort, something we believe should be synonymous with each other.  From the logo waistband to the piping, James Tudor has taken great strides in providing today’s man with both characteristics in “revolutionary styles, from the magnetic fly to the traditional basics such as the athletic brief.”

This review pertains to the Half Fall Boxer in black with white piping in size small, being 30-32 inches (76-81 cm).  When first slipping them on, I noticed the leg openings were a bit snug but not overly tight.  This was credited to my thighs being somewhat meatier than other small wearing men.  The crotch is crafted perfectly with a nice opening, circling the male anatomy and creating a nest for its home.  The fly, if that’s what it is referred to, is not your normal opening.  Three buttons fasten the fly closed.  The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) wide with the logo front and center.  The material is 95% cotton and 5% Lycra.  The piping creates an amazing frame around the hips.  The tags are placed in non-irritating locations and are not rough to the touch, indicating great thought and design in the creative process.

The feel of these boxers is phenomenal.  The material is a fantastic combination and one that will provide you with hours of comfort.  The opening in the fly is not restricting to retrieval in the slightest.  The buttons unbutton to a perfect spot where one can easily remove and replace his tackle.  During a day of walking at school and shopping, there was no binding or pinching.  The cut may be different to some as it is cut more squarely than some other brand trunks.  Never the less, it is centered on comfort and style and I believe James Tudor is spot on.

This week we chose the James Tutor Boxer Trunk. It’s a really cool longer boxer. It goes almost down to your knes and has a lace up front that is very similar to football pants. We think this is a really creative and innovative pair.

Information from  their website:

An athletic, longer boxer with lace-up front detailing, contrast waistband piping and embroidered logo on the thigh. Designed to provide exceptional support and comfort. 95% Cotton, 5% Lycra®

This is available from their site directly for £24 including VAT. We think they are really a one of a kind pair and if you want them, head over to their site.
