I buy from https://eu.dilling.com/, Danish company, makes clothes I think in Lithuania (not sure if all of them).

I dont think underwear is meant to last a lifetime

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've gotten a pair past 2 decades with no holes or stains...

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is impressive, must look like lace by now

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Silk, and have held up well so far. Not regular wear however.

That's what my mom said and so far I've been right

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Well, you need to wash it regularly, you know. /j

This shit, right here, is the exact underwear I've been wearing since 2014. Without David Archy, I wouldn't have been able to run 3 marathons, or do a lot of stuff.

I started 2014 with briefs. Then the boys got sweaty. That led to cheeseballs. I realized that the boys needed to breathe a bit more.

So I switched to boxers. I did a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, in boots. One day, I was going down the stairs and I took a step and a sharp pain shot up my nuts.

Went to the doctor, he said I needed more support. I told him my issue with briefs and he said to look for a natural fiber.

So I started researching natural fibers, and micro-modal is one of the best. It's wicking, cooling, etc, but still cotton. You won't get no cheese balls with it.

But I was still scared of the compression that happens with briefs.

Eventually, I found David Archy's. They've got a sack for your sack that keeps em separated. Woah. Gotta keep em seperated.

I slapped these bad boys on and have been wearing them ever since:

In terms of buy it for life, it's probably not it. But I have ordered new underwear from David Archy's about once every 4 years. And for underwear, I think that's pretty good. I'm sure if I didn't shove absolutely everything in the washer, it might hold up even better. But I'm lazy.

I feel like the sizing runs a bit larger, but I haven't worn any other brand of underwear since 2014, so I don't know if that's actually true. But you get a tight fit and your partner will be like, "dayum."

Edit: sorry, I didn't see what community this was at first. I don't think this is an EU brand. But I would look for micro modal, and a sack for your sack (which seems to be called pouch underwear). I did a look, there are a few EU brands that sell pouch, I didn't see any that separate the boys from the shaft though, with DA does.

4 year turn over is pretty good

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

4 years, then you turn them inside out.

[–] A_be_seedy@beehaw.org 0 points 1 week ago

Not these bad boys, they're not reversible, because of the sack for your balls.

That website has a good sense of humor!

I like the idea but do I have to fiddle the banana into that small hole every time I put on my underwear?

So I started researching natural fibers, and micro-modal is one of the best. It's wicking, cooling, etc, but still cotton.

Just as a remark: Modal is a cellulose fiber made from natural materials, e.g. bamboo, but not a natural fiber like cotton, wool or linen/flax are.

https://www.schiesser.com/ a German brand, not sure about where they produce.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That brand name is just a sprinkle of dyslexia away to meaning "shitter" or "person who shits"

[–] helix@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trigema (Germany) is pretty good, but fucking expensive. There exists no BIFL underwear.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

There exists no BIFL underwear.

That sounds like a challenge.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

and what ever happened to BIFL kevlar socks?

[–] Driver2956@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Loom is a great brand. They a build for durability witch make them a good value for money. Bio cotton from portugal https://www.loom.fr/en-de

I like Intimissimi Uomo's designs but they don't produce in Europe. Colorful Standard is nice. There's CDLP if on sale.

Does Hanro make their stuff on the EU still?
