Low rise underwear for men
One low rise across six amounts of fabric
We cut every pair to sit below the hip bones. 6 shapes hang off that band, from a bare string back to a long leg down the thigh.
Waistbands cut below the hip
We shape 134 styles with a low rise. The band rests under the hip bones so it stays out of sight beneath low-cut trousers.
True waist sizing on every card
Our range spans S through 2XL, covering 27 to 49 inches. Check the ladder printed on each listing for your waist.
Four fabrics across the range
Silky nylon leads, then modal, stretch cotton and poly stretch. Three of the 4 run the whole coverage scale, so the cloth comes down to feel.
Packs built to fit your drawer
We make up 8 pack counts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9 pairs at a time. Start with a single pair, commit to the big pack once the cut fits.

Boxer briefs and trunks with our low rise

How we work
Three habits behind every seam
Grading waistbands in inches
Every listing grades its own inches, so we print that ladder on the card instead of one house chart. 5 sizes, measured rather than guessed.
Describing the cut plainly
We describe rise, pouch shape and leg coverage. Sizes, stock and the rest are settled on the retail listing, and we do not paraphrase them here.
Naming every fibre and care step
Each card states the fabric blend and wash directions with zero fluff. You know if you are looking at modal, stretch cotton, or nylon.
Getting the size right
Three steps and the whole ladder
- Measure around your hip line
Run a soft tape low where our waistband rests. Measure level below your hip bones to catch your true low rise waist.
- Pick your level of seat coverage
Look across the 6 cuts we sew. Decide if you want a narrow thong seat, a cheeky line or long legs down the thigh.
- Check the ladder on that exact style
Every listing grades its own inches. Read the ladder on that one rather than guessing from a chart that covers everything.
| Size | Typical waist | Graded on |
|---|---|---|
| S | 27–29 in | 136 styles |
| M | 30–32 in | 136 styles |
| L | 33–35 in | 136 styles |
| XL | 36–38 in | 136 styles |
| 2XL | 39–41 in | 126 styles |
Worth a close look
Stretch Boxer Briefs Low Rise • 4-pack
A low rise trunk cut built for comfort throughout the day. We sew these from a lightweight polyester and spandex blend that wicks moisture and moves with you. The fitted short legs stay put under trousers while the contoured front pouch provides steady support.

Keeping the elastic alive
What a drawer of ours asks of you
Do
- Wash on cold or warm cycles with like colours
- Zip delicate styles inside a mesh laundry bag
- Hang pairs on a rack to dry in the shade
- Give the elastic a full day of rest between wears
Don’t
- No chlorine bleach anywhere near nylon or modal
- No hot tumble drying, which tires the waistband
- No iron pressed into the elastic, at any setting
- No liquid fabric softener on the silky weaves
A low rise that stays quiet
We sew underwear with one purpose. The waistband stays below the hip bones, holds its support and stays out of sight under low trousers. 134 of our 136 styles hold that line, and the two that sit higher are long-leg boxers cut for older denim. The fabrics change and the prints change. A cut that rolls up or climbs above the waist does not make the catalogue.
How we cut our underwear across six shapes and four fabrics
Two lines organize the catalogue. The first is coverage. We sew 6 cuts in all, starting at g-strings and thongs, moving through cheeky cuts, briefs and bikinis, and finishing at boxer briefs, trunks and long-leg boxers. 134 of the styles keep our low rise, sitting below the hip bones so the waistband stays out of sight beneath low trousers. The two that sit higher are long-leg boxers in a mid rise.
The second line is the cloth. We work with 4 fabrics: a silky nylon-spandex blend that makes up the bulk of our shelf, soft modal, stretch cotton, and poly stretch. Because we cut matching blocks across these textiles, your waist size stays steady when you swap fabrics. Nylon, modal and stretch cotton each run the whole coverage scale; poly stretch sits out the barest cuts. Modal has a page of its own, 20 styles from g-string to long-leg boxer.

What the reviews keep saying
Quotes belong to whole listings, quoted here as written.
★★★★★
These are comfortable. Nice band around the waist. It scrunches up a bit in the wash, but it's not bad. Actually these one's got some tiny hole in it, but probably because I didn't follow the drying instructions.
★★★☆☆
The fit is good, pouch is good, my only complaint is the placement of the seems. The one down the middle of the pouch can be annoying
★★★★★
I love the look and feel of these briefs. The manufacturer's size recommendations are pretty accurate. I have a 30-inch waist and ordered small, which is intended to wrap around waistlines that are between 28 to 30 inches. I'd describe the fit as snug - just the way I like 'em.
Find your cut and size
Measure low where the waistband sits. Choose from 6 cuts across the coverage scale, then let the waist ladder for that specific pair settle the rest.
