TAD Commando Boxer Brief Loden Green

While the origins of the phrase "going commando" are up for debate, we’ve firmly settled on our favourite rumour. Nicknamed after members of elite units, this term was coined during the Vietnam War when soldiers were reputed to wear no underwear to increase ventilation and reduce moisture during combat in the humid jungle terrain. This shift offset the poorly performing cotton drawers that were standard issue.

When designing their TAD Commando Boxer Briefs, Triple Aught Design evaluated the constraints those in the field had to endure with inferior daily essentials and opted to create a low-profile silhouette built with the natural antimicrobial properties of Merino. Constructed to accommodate an active lifestyle, these boxer briefs are lightweight and cut for mobility. With flatlock seams and double-panel construction, these briefs offer a close, comfortable fit that moves with you and retains its shape during use. It’s safe to say that while you’ll clearly be wearing a base layer, it will feel as though you’re comfortably going commando.

Features:

• Care Instruction: Designed for comfort and easy care. Wash warm, tumble dry low, and the garment will retain its size.
• Active Merino: Unlike traditional wool, TAD Merino is comfortable against the skin and designed for performance. It naturally regulates body temperature, trapping heat for insulation when cold and wicking moisture to keep you dry. Even when wet, Merino can insulate. Naturally odour-resistant, it allows extended use without laundry concerns. Made using MAPP-certified Merino fibres sourced from New Zealand's alpine environments.
