It's been too long since I first reported on what was then a new and small British underwear business, British Boxers. It has now, through sheer hard work by founder Deborah Price, become a successful British business. Making boxer shorts, stretch trunks (of which I'm a great fan) and sleepwear (there are products for both men and women - I wear the stripy pyjamas) here in the UK and in Europe, it now supplies Harrods, many independent stores and exports abroad.

Needless to say, the products are beautifully made and much thought has obviously gone into their design.
Deborah Price brought me up to date:
"We make the traditional boxer shorts, socks and polo shirts in the UK. All the packaging is made here too, Our labels and trims are made here including our waistband on the trunks. We do whatever we can here whilst maintaining quality and production capacity.
Everything else is made in small production runs in Europe and I'm really proud to shout about that now too. We don't manufacture in the Far East and everyone who makes our stuff is highly skilled and well paid. It's really important. We'll build up British production gradually and slowly but it takes time, investment and education. What I'm really passionate about is building a viable ethical business which creates British jobs".
