Boxers vs Briefs vs Boxer/Briefs vs Commando




Seems one Mr. JAKE Gyllenhaal had quite a time selecting underwear. I was going to say quite a "hard time", but I don't want to infer anything. According to the never-wrong Page Six,


"JAKE Gyllenhaal is way beyond the simple choice of boxers vs. briefs. A shopper in Bloomingdale's underwear department recently watched the "Brokeback Mountain" star with a salesman "combing through every style . . . A good 10 minutes later, Jake was still at it . . . holding up a pair of tight white briefs that he'd pulled out of the package to examine, as if he'd never seen tighty whities before in his entire life. It was hilarious. He looked very confused and had a furrowed brow . . . He was examining undies like an anthropologist in the city's most highly trafficked department store."

This story had a lot of traction on the blogs today, including here and here. Guess it was a slow news day, what with a jury convicting Scooter Libby on four out of five counts and fired U.S. Attorneys appearing before Congress to say their dismissals were political in nature. And, still more people getting blown away in Iraq. But at least Jake found a nice pair of underwear -- hopefully.



While on the topic, however, I'd suggest staying away from plain white briefs. You don't want to end up looking like Jared Leto (see above) while filming Chapter 27 -- a movie that may never get released on the big screen. Instead, check out Manifold's Unfed boxers, Ted Baker boxer/briefs or Ginch Gonch briefs. I'd link to the boxers, but they're not online as of this posting. Just give us a call or drop us a note and we'll tell you all about them.
