022

Material: 60% Cotton, 40% Polyester, but all you feel is the cotton, so it’s a really nice, traditional feel IMO.
Aesthetic: A strong solid color is complimented by a bold white waistband with black text and a slim black stripe all the way around.
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband that sits below the waist.
Pouch: In my mind, there are three main things to think about when designing the front of men’s underwear: keeping everything comfortable & separate, promoting your package (physically and aesthetically), and granting ease of access when nature calls. Unfortunately, it’s often very hard to balance all three, specifically balancing the third against the first two. Why? Well, if you want to make a fly, the historically you either have to include two layers of overlapping fabric (the traditional vertical fly on classic whitey tighties) which would generally promote flatness from the extra layer, or have an optionally closable slit on a flat front (the sometimes-buttoned fly of true boxer shorts) which is flat because having such an opening in a contoured pair would just have your junk falling out all the time. Many designers are just forgoing the fly nowadays since most men don’t use flies anyway. Brands have also tried traditional vertical flies with highly contoured pouches, which I’ve already detailed as somewhat defeating the point because those flies are nearly impossible to navigate, (certainly can’t be done one-handed,) and often hurt to have your dick sticking through. Well, the horizontal (“H”) fly is one really, really great way to eliminate the “fly challenge”. An H-Fly is inherently easy to navigate, (assuming neither limiting hem is too stiff,) and it allows the lower panel of the fly to still be a single-layer, nicely shaped section of fabric – and Jack Adams’ Core line is an amazing example of a H-fly. Like the AC brief linked above, the inside hem of the fly is simply a semi-loose trim-/pipe-less edge of fabric, and the outside hem isn’t so high to make it difficult to use (unlike the AC brief where the outside hem is too far right). And while I’ve had some athletic boxer briefs from Jockey that also have H-flies, this Jack Adams pair had a much more contoured pouch, plus was made from a much more “everyday” fabric than the Jockey pairs were. This combination was why I ultimately bought three more Core pairs – another Cycle Trunk, a shorter-legged Boxer Brief, and some Long Johns (which unfortunately compromised the lower support of the pouch somewhat).

Backside: Nothing incredible about the backside here, but it’s just tight enough to give you a bit of shape. The vertical center seam comes in just a bit, too.
Legs: Very good length, IMO, and also just tight enough to not feel uncomfortable while still staying up against your skin. I mentioned the Boxer Brief earlier, which is still nice in most manners, but the legs on that pair are short enough that they roll up often and actually do start feeling tight around my thighs.
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reasons I don’t give this the full 5/5 “I totally recommend this!” is that 1) I can see some people note liking the fabric, and 2) I can’t recommend that something that’s no longer available! I’m highly frustrated about that second point. At the very least, it seems that Jack Adams is making new trunks and new boxer briefs that have very similar cuts to the Core line, though none with the 60% Cotton/40% Polyester blend.
Great for: Everyday wear, Loungewear, Sexy wear
Good for: Activewear, Sleepwear, Sex wear

This is one of my favorite pairs and one of (I think) one of my best reviews to date, so I thought I’d bump it back up while I’m working on new posts!
