We have decided to make it, simply, an automatic process by adding a much wider range of sizes up front on the website. Our lingerie is all handmade and we have regularly been asked to size our patterns up to and including 46” waist so that is what we have rolled out across our designs.

It’s subtle, but it’s very different.

Multidimensional guys. With damn good taste.

We had no idea, of course, what was just around the corner for the world, and we think we have navigated the pandemic as well as any new start up. What has been harder for us, and is not the experience of ‘any new start up’ is the near impossibility of being seen. You’re incredibly important to us because you’re here; by some good fortune you have found us and you like us! We know that there are thousands of you out there, men and women who are bored of boxers and are far...
