18-Hour Rib Boxer Brief

About this find

The 18-Hour Rib Boxer Brief from Mack Weldon is a boxer brief with a short leg that ends at the upper thigh. A fine vertical ribbed texture runs across the body of the garment, giving the pair a neat, lightly textured look. It is a plain, clean style that fits right into a drawer of basics.

A wide elastic waistband sits at the top, with an inner lining band visible along the edge. That band gives the waist a finished look and keeps the top edge tidy. Both leg openings end in narrow hems with visible edge stitching, so the legs look neat and well finished where the fabric stops.

The front has a fly opening, with a curved seam outlining the panel on one side. A small woven tab is attached at the fly opening, and a center seam runs down the front toward the crotch. These details give the front a defined shape and show how the pair is put together.

Because the leg is short, this style suits shorts, jeans and trousers when you want a pair that stays near the top of the thigh. Wear a pair under lighter-colored trousers only if you first check that the texture does not show through. The ribbing makes this a good pick for anyone who likes a little surface detail in plain underwear.
