British-made men's underwear - an update

Since writing about British-made underwear for men last July (see the post here), I've heard about a number of other brands. I hope you'll support British-made men's underwear as well as they will no doubt support you.

Robert Owen Undershirts
These undershirts are made from bamboo fabric. When I was sent one to try I found it was silky smooth, even after a machine wash. Like a man-made performance fabric, the shirt feels cool to wear and absorbs light sweating, but also keeps you warm in cold weather. The slim-fitting design has panels under the arm to keep sweat away from your shirt, allowing it to evaporate with just your body heat. They come in four pale colours so they remain unobtrusive under a shirt. I really liked these British-made undershirts.



Dick Winters
Dick Winters celebrate the British origin of their products, making boxer shorts from smooth British microfibre. I haven't had the chance to try these, but they look well-crafted with all seams flatlocked for comfort.


Cahoonas
Made in Scotland from a British microfibre, these are made to allow for the fact that 75% of men hang to the left and the rest to the right, so allowance is made for the correct placing of your tackle. Again, I haven't tried these so can't comment on this interesting design feature. 


Cock & Bull Menswear
Cock & Bull's products are ethically and sustainably-made in the UK and come in a wide variety of colours and patterns. Their limited edition boxer briefs and t-shirts are made from super-soft organic cotton (thought to be the first organic briefs made in Britain). I've seen some of their superb products, but haven't been able to try them.
