If you have not tried this underwear before, you do not know what you have been missing. Boxer briefs feel insanely good to wear, and toe the line perfectly between comfort and support. It has been called one of the greatest clothing revolutions of the past century, and for good reason. And, then, after a string of ads ran featuring Mark Wahlberg wearing the new hybrid underwear, the popularity of the boxer brief soared. Boxer briefs emerged during the 1990s, a result of John Varvatos work for Calvin Klein. They took the best parts of each, the fit of briefs and the coverage of boxers, and combined them into something completely new and revolutionary. Both Hanes and Fruit of the Loom manufacture thousands of items: briefs, custom boxer briefs, tank tops, t-shirts, shirts, undershirts, hosiery, and more – all in varying qualities and prices.Boxer briefs are hybrids, crossbreeds between briefs and boxers.

In the end, the deciding factor between Fruit of the Loom vs. įruit of the Loom is more cost-effective with more extensive personalization features. If you’re looking for an affordable option with more customization options – colors and sizing – and the potential to sell cheaper in bulk, you can’t go wrong with the Men’s NUBLEND® Hooded Sweatshirt.

Neither option has print areas on the sleeves.Ī large niche of today’s customer base expects corporate social responsibility in their products. The EcoSmart® might have fewer customization options, but it succeeds at comfort design with a tag-free back label, as opposed to a regular sewn-in label of the NUBLEND®. EcoSmart® has three base color options: Charcoal, Light Steel, and Black limiting your color palette significantly.

Your designs can be changed, customized, and re-colored to create unique garments with the same manufacturer, equaling less work per item.
