Jack Adams – Crew Brief – Lime – Medium

086

Material: 92% Cotton, 8% Polyester, and so soft and lightweight!
Aesthetic: Loud but not fully in-your-face, it’s just a very fun pop of lime green color with the strong, obvious lines provided by the high-contrast black piping. The doulbe-line “railroad tracks” piping at the top corners of the fly on any Crew pairs are a really intriguing design choice that gives an athletic look to the pair, and the choice to make the right tracks white to contrast the rest of the piping just adds to the eye-catching nature of the design. The big, bold Jack Adams logo panel front-and-center on the waistband further adds to the confident, statement-making effect of the pair.
Waistband: Nice and stretchy with some good height to it!
Pouch: This is a fun one! There’s some nice but not overt contouring on both panels of the pouch/fly, such that you’re always going to get a fairly nice (but never really intensely defined) shape whether you like wearing your willie up or down. The Crew brief sports a U-fly design, which is generally very fun, though on this pair both openings are fairly far down your crotch, which makes it a tiny bit more work to whip your willie out if it’s naturally behind the inner panel to begin with. You might also think that the contouring would make it hard to pull your boy out for whatever reason, but the opening is not hemmed, letting the fabric stretch as much as it likes, and the fabric goes so far down that there’s plenty of fabric there, meaning it’s quite easy to manipulate honestly. (You can see how much kinda folded up there in the picture below; *warning* for shaft.) This also means that you don’t have to hold the fly open at all while you’re using it, which is a huge plus. The only real downside here is that you can’t let your willie sit in between the inner and outer openings of the fly, because once you’re past the inner opening, there’s very little fabric up front to hold you back any more.

Backside: Clearly not a full-coverage pair, almost closer to a bikini than a regular brief! Of course, I have a fairly big backside myself, so it might work better for more toned guys. Plain-colored backsides can be unflattering, especially for full-coverage pairs, but the green-vs-black of this pair is still a nice contrast, and with the leg openings coming up over the cheeks themselves, you get more visual contrast than just a full expanse of lime. There is a finicky tag hanging down inside, and it’s probably the worst part of the pair, but that’s not saying much and can be dealt with easily enough if you wanted to do so.
Legs: A little on the tight side, especially going from the hips down front toward the crotch, but overall still fairly comfy (and probably just a sizing issue, as the pair overall is kinda tight anyway).
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason I’m not going a full 5 is because this pair, for me, is a bit small. I think I may try buying this again in a bigger size, because it’s pretty great!

This appears to be the @jackadamsusa “No.1874 Jockstrap”, and I absolutely love the classic look of these! Most of what Jack Adams – and many other designers – do with jockstraps is try to make something that looks sleek and stylish while keeping an athletic look, and Jacks Adams certainly does a great job of that – I have several such pairs in my collection that I’ll probably review in the future. But IMO there’s something to be said about the tall-waistband, outside-fixed utility straps, and breath-easy cotton-like pouch you only get with these old-school-style jockstraps. $21 bucks if you want one!

Jack Adams – Flyer Thong – Red – Medium

028

Material: 85% Polyester, 15% Elastane, it certainly feels like a pair meant for fun! Smooth and relatively lightweight, there’s a certain energy in this pair that comes from how the fabric feels on your package.
Aesthetic: Now this is a looker! You can tell the fabric is sleek just by looking at it, and the color is quite bold! (And is on all versions of this cut, patterned or solid.) It reprises the typical Jack Adams waistband that I previously mentioned with the Core Cycle Trunk, which looks even better here with the color and material of this pair. You also have a very attractive opening between the waistband and pouch on this pair…
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband that sits below the waist.
Pouch: Overall, a great pouch that does a pretty good job of cupping your junk comfortably. I think the peekaboo opening may make the pouch loose once the pair gets old, but right now it holds you in place fairly well. The lower part of the pouch holds your balls securely even while the upper part of the pouch feels roomy and motion-friendly so it’s not constraining at all. While it looks great in the promotional material, you can see on me that it doesn’t fully sit in the creases where your legs meet your torso, but it’s unlike the Pride G-Slinger in that, as mentioned, it still comes up under your balls correctly – you won’t feel at any risk of things hanging out, so because at least the crotch itself fits correctly, I don’t mind the slight “lack of fit” higher up nearly as much.
String: This g-string seems to have the opposite problem that the Pride G-Slinger did in that the length of the string is a bit too short instead of too long – while the string is comfortable enough overall, over time you might feel like it’s occasionally too tight and cutting down into your crack, up against your tailbone.
Overall: 3.5/5 – I was considering 4, but the slight cutting feeling of the string against the tailbone means I can’t recommend this too highly, since it’s not great for long-term wear in general. 5/5 for looks, though!

Jack Adams – Core Cycle Trunk – Orange – Medium

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.
