Luxury Underwear for the average guy …Tommy John

December 14, 2009 |

In
my post about Tommy John undershirts, I commented that when I think
of Tommy John, think luxury. The same holds true for their briefs.
I recently had the opportunity to try Tommy John briefs and have been
most impressed.

Like
the Tommy John Second Skin undershirt, the same holds true for their
Second Skin brief. Made from silky
Micro Modal fabric, the briefs are very lightweight and super
comfortable. The material is stretchy and supportive. Quality is
certainly noticeable with the flatlock stitching and the double layer
paneled pouch.

The
cut of the brief is a standard brief cut. There was plenty of
coverage in the rear, didn’t have any riding-up issues, and the pouch
was very comfortable. These are available in white or black. I
chose black and they looked pretty sexy – especially with the fine
stitched “Tommy John” on the waistband.

These
are now part of my favorites list and have found a home in the front
of my drawer. Priced at $24 a pair, they are competitively priced with
other brands and are worth the price you pay.

Tommy John … think affordable luxury!

     When I think of Tommy John, I think luxury. I recently had the opportunity to try a Tommy John crewneck undershirt and briefs. This review is on the Tommy John crewneck Undershirt.
     As someone who wear a shirt and tie every day (often 12-14 hour days) comfort is of great importance to me. I often find myself needing to go to the restroom just so I can pull my undershirt back down. Too often, my undershirts bunch up around may waist giving me love handles I don’t have. When I heard about the Tommy John undershirt, I was skeptical that an undershirt could really stay tucked. I was also skeptical that it would feel like a “second skin” – boy, was I wrong!!
     The Tommy John Second Skin undershirt is simply amazing. The silky Micro Modal fabric is so lightweight it really feels like I’m not wearing an undershirt – yes, like it really is my second skin. The super soft material is very stretchy without being clingy to you. I can see how any man, regardless of physique, will be comfortable in this shirt.
     The Second Skin undershirt is more expensive ($36) than the RibbedTee (2/$20) or the Jockey Go ($23), but they’re not the same undershirt. All three do stay tucked in throughout the day – that’s where the similarity ends. The Second Skin is by far the most comfortable to wear. The RibbedTee is quite a bit less ($10/ea) but you know you’re wearing an undershirt. If you have the money, I’d buy the Tommy John. If the price is too steep, go with the RibbedTee. You may want to buy one of each and decide if the price is worth it for your self.
