Review of Tiger 100% Cotton Blue Dash Briefs
It is risky when we try to review a product we had a hand in bringing to market but we intend to tell the truth about Tiger Underwear 100% cotton briefs and let the consumer make up their own mind.
The Tiger Blue Dash brief is a full rise brief, meaning that it covers more of the torso from a little lower on the leg to almost the belly button. Full rise briefs are not like boxer briefs–they don’t cover the whole upper leg. This is the style of brief that was made popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s by all the department stores including Wards, Sears, JC Penney and many other lesser brands. The advantage of these full rise briefs has always been their comfort JC Penney still makes the Stafford Brief which is full rise. We will review those another time.
The Tiger 100% cotton brief comes with a blue dashed waistband that mimics the high quality elastic used in the past. For vintage brief fans these will be a bonanza because they look and feel just like the briefs from the dept store hay days. The cotton is excellent quality. The briefs also come in single back , double back and four panel “training briefs”. We reviewed only the double back and found them to be unusually well fitting and comfortable. Two of blog readers are mothers who have purchased these briefs for their sons and they have contributed to this review.
Something about the construction of two back seams combined with more cotton on the double seat made these indeed a great wear for boys and men! Men have noticed however that the blue dash briefs ran a bit small. The (34-36) we got were more like (32-34). The boy's small seemed to fit younger boys however very accurately. Tiger Underwear has been running a sale on the blue dash brief for a while but they tell me it ends on June 1.
We give them four out of five stars! The sizing issue is the only thing that keeps us from giving them our coveted five stars GOLDEN BRIEF AWARD. The staff at TigerUnderwearStore.Comassures me that we will want to give the GOLDEN BRIEF to their 50% Poly/Cotton Red Dash Brief. We shall see.
