Undertoys briefs have been in missing in action for sometime now and it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen anything new from the Down Under mens underwear designer, but now they have returned with a new range of mens briefs in the same child-like designs as we’ve seen before but now with bolder colours, more sprite and imagination, everything we’ve come to expect from Undertoys.
Featuring prints such as Kapow – similar to the old style Batman and Robin comical violence scenes, Comics – an old style series of comic book illustrations, Battleboats – a designers take on the age old Battleships game, World Series, Shooter and Doodle briefs. The later could almost be a pun but do in fact look like a child has had an epileptic fit all over Daddy’s underwear with cool little stick men going about their merry way in a variety of ways. Undertoys underwear takes us back to the days of old when kids used quarters at the local arcade and games were still blatant mash-ups of colourful pixels and three quarter circle men ate fruit, dots and ghosts.
The designs also extend beyond the brief to the elastic waistband, decorated with an old style game score system on some designs and and a standard waistband with a sewn on Undertoys label.
The briefs are made from 90% cotton, 5% spandex and possibly a further 5% magic fairy sprinkles. So if you like the idea of being taken back to your childhood years or reminded of things you had all but forgotten then you simply must get yourself a pair of the new Undertoys underwear. Besides the imaginative prints they don’t claim to have any wonderful new powers or claim to be made from any bold and exciting fabrics like Banana or soy and are simply your basic mens brief, set apart by their creative flair and vivid imagination.
