Hugo Boss is a German fashion company. While they’re famous for their suits and business attire, they also make a wide variety of other clothing items. The item for this review employs some features found on high-end underwear, such as a contour pouch and modal fabric blend (47%, in addition to 48% cotton and 5% elastane). My impression on the results is below.
Materials and construction: The material is listed as being
48% cotton, 47% modal, and 5% elastane (spandex), which is an interesting compromise
between two of the most common materials in men’s underwear. The first thing I
noticed when I opened the package is that there are a lot of loose threads,
which isn’t something I often see in a pair before the first time I wash it.
The elastic in the waistband is needlessly tight. The design is anatomically
correct, although I didn’t ultimately find the pouch well designed. The tag in
the back is large and can be a nuisance. 2/10
Comfort and usability: The first thing that stuck out to me
is how unaccommodating the waistband is. The size of the pair doesn’t run small
overall, but the elastic feels needlessly tight on my waist, which is an issue
I’ve never before experienced in my underwear. I find it doubtful that
underwear with such a feature is capable of lasting long, especially when the
stitching is in poor shape right out of the package. The pouch is made with
some height and space to the front, but insufficient depth, so it always makes
my testicles ache after a few hours. 1/10
Aesthetics: There’s not much that can be said to be obscene
about the design of these briefs, but nothing appealing, either. The dark
purple color looks rather dull, and the tiny BOSS label on one side of the
pouch is a curious, ugly, and pointless feature. 3/10
Overall rating: 2/10
Big enough? No.
