Aussiebum – Clan Brief – Argyle (Orange) – Medium

002

Material: 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane – feels very natural, even if noticeably “smoother” than cotton or other traditional fabrics. Lightweight but feels fairly sturdy.
Aesthetic: I love me a good tartan-based design, and the fact that these are various shades of orange (my favorite color) makes it all the better! Attention-getting, but not too loud or overstated by any means. Definitely a fun – maybe even in a reserved way? – look to be seen in.
Waistband: Soft; not too big or too small, nor too loose or too tight. Sits comfortably between the hips and waist, though closer to the waist (maybe even at the waist for some people based on body type, motions through the day, or just how they like wearing their briefs).
Pouch: A general fly-less pouch; not much structure to it, but just enough shaping to keep your junk slightly forward and out from between your thighs. Unlike the rest of brief, the pouch uses two layers of fabric instead of just one, so it’s definitely soft and supportive, plus the extra layer leaves and extra degree of freedom for your package so it’s not pushed around as much as you move about.
Backside: Holds you well. Has a slight dip built it to help give you some shape and highlight each cheek. Tag is built in to the back of the waistband and is generally quite soft, though very rarely you might notice a corner of the tag.
Legs: This aspect with where this pair has really surprised me. Appended to the otherwise-tiny hem of the leg openings is a stretchy, almost-mesh-y, lightweight strip of fabric that looks almost like a pseudo-waistband, if just not quite as wide or as solid. Since a lot of waistbands have the issue of folding/bunching up if they’re not strong or wide enough, and the waist itself is much less fold-y than the leg-hip meeting, I was worried that these would be rather uncomfortable, and maybe even ride up. Boy was I wrong! They’re super-comfy, and almost help hold everything else in place. They do fold slightly, but it seems they were designed to do so with how soft and lightweight they are – nothing like how a waistband might bunch up uncomfortably. Oh, and the leg openings of the main fabric are sized very well to begin with, so that helps a lot. I’m not sure if the extra band of fabric attached to each leg opening was necessary, but they don’t hurt the pair at all, and add to the fun look of the pair as well.
Overall: 4/5 – a comfy, solid, reliable pair that’s great to have in any underwear collection, and one you’ll probably wear often even if there’s nothing particularly remarkable about them.
