Once a staid area, the men’s underwear industry has diversified. From the loin cloths worn by the pharaohs to Henry VIII’s padded codpiece in the 16th century to a mid 1920’s introduction to boxers leading the way for the “boxers or briefs” campaign, men’s underwear has experienced transition, but the organic options and environmental concerns of today are taking things to a whole new level. Women’s garments often take the limelight with an assortment of options, fabrics, cuts and labels. Some forward thinking designers have taken the adaptable concepts, transferred those ideas to the men’s division and both reengineered and revolutionized the men’s underwear industry.

With comfort, natural fibers, eco friendly practices, and style in mind, here are some men’s underwear labels you should absolutely check out…
