Classic Boxer Shorts
To celebrate 160 years of underwear expertise, we’ve reissued this design from the Sunspel archive, first created over 40 years ago.
Sunspel introduced the boxer short to Britain in 1947. We also perfected its design. Today, with just a few minor tweaks, we still produce boxer shorts to our original specifications. The seams are double-turned and feldlocked to avoid rough edges. The rear has a distinctive back panel instead of an uncomfortable central seam. And each pair is cut from 100% long-staple fine cotton for unmatched lightness, softness and breathability.

A Legacy of Luxury
Thomas Hill founded Sunspel in 1860 with a vision to use exceptional fabrics to craft the world’s most comfortable underwear. Staying true to this ethos, we pioneered the first luxury T-shirt undergarments in the early 1900s, invented cellular cotton and in 1947, introduced the Boxer Short to Britain. Today we continue to innovate, drawing on over a century and a half of expertise: our fabrics are crafted from the finest natural materials to be beautifully soft and durable, and our designs have been refined to be as functional and comfortable as possible.
