I very brazenly nicked this from a friend's blog. It totally reminded me of you guys.
— The remnants of leather loincloths have been found with the remains of prehistoric man from 7,000 years ago
— The Ancient Greeks dressed very simply. The closest article of clothing worn by men in ancient Rome was called a subligaculum, which in modern terms means a pair of shorts or a loincloth
— Pull-on underpants were invented about the time of the 13th century. The loincloth was replaced by large, baggy drawers called “braies” By the Renaissance, braies were usually fitted with a closing flap in the front. This codpiece allowed men to urinate without having to remove their braies
— In Victorian times, men’s undergarments were in two pieces and made by hand
— Mass production began during the Industrial Revolution
— Boxers and briefs became popular in the 1930s as elastic waists replaced button, snap and tie closures. “Underpants” also entered the dictionary
— Jockey began making briefs in 1930. Jockey Y-vent briefs arrived in 1934
— Colour was introduced during the Second World War
— Spandex was created in the late 1950s. In the 1960s, Lycra Cotton was realised
— In the 1970s and 1980s the new designer underwear producers, including Calvin Klein, used sex as the main selling point for major advertising campaigns
— The thong and the G-string have been popular in South America since the 1980s and have since taken on a global appeal
— In the 1990s retailers started selling boxer briefs, which take the longer shape of boxers but maintain the tightness of briefs
