Large

085

Material: 93% Cotton, 7% Elastane, overall has a somewhat “flat” feel to it but it still soft and stretchy enough to be perfectly comfortable for everyday wear. Not super breathable, but that doesn’t feel like a big knock against it – this definitely feels like a “office underwear” situation where you wouldn’t pick this pair because you weren’t going to be in a situation where breathability would be an issue anyway.
Aesthetic: Generally very simple; it of course depends on exactly which pair you pick as some have various prints, but even those have a color palette that’s more muted and reserved to begin with – again, a very sort of “office underwear” vibe to them.
Waistband: Fairly typical as waistbands go! Not quite as tall as some others, which I think might be trying to play into that “low profile” fashion trend, but it’s a small effect here.
Pouch: Basically none. X-D There’s just enough extra fabric on the two panels that make up the front so that it doesn’t feel constraining, but there’s absolutely no effort made to provide the pair a good shape to hold your junk. It’s fine for me since I like wearing my willie pointing up, but I can somewhat imagine that this isn’t a great pair for guys who like to point downward, though.
Backside: Surprisingly unlike the relatively flat front, this pair actually shows off a really nice curve for your backside! The plaid on this particular pair also gives some visual interest, so the flat-color pairs might be a bit less to look at, but would still come up under your cheeks quite nicely. There’s a print-on tag at the top of the inside of the back panel, and it’s impossible to notice while wearing – it almost looks like precision-dyed fabric as opposed to something that was printed on!
Legs: Fairly comfy! I’d personally like them to be a tad bit longer, but no real complaints.

Other: I’ve chosen to focus on the plaid pair with the pictures here, which is a Large, but the other four I have are a tan speckled pattern (Medium), light tan plain (Medium), slate (Large), and violet (Medium).
Overall: 3/5 – I went back and forth between 3 or something higher for this pair, because there’s really nothing wrong with it aside from a marginally flat pouch, and since it’s not really meant as a show-off-y pair (while still having a great backside) I didn’t want to count that against the pair too much. That said, it’s a very plain pair, so I ultimately settled on the 3 because I can’t see it being a pair people will every look forward to wearing at all. Still, it’s a great pair for everyday office wear and the like, so definitely worth having in your collection for those days you wake up feeling a little blah and just want something simple to pull on and get the day started. X-D Seven7 is a jeans brand before an underwear brand, so the practicality-minded nature of the pairs makes total sense in that context.

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.
