Classic Boxer Short in Liberty Fabric
Our Classic Boxer Shorts now come in a range of iconic prints made with Liberty fabric.
With just a few minor tweaks, we still produce boxer shorts to our original specifications. The seams are double-turned and feldlocked to avoid rough edges. The rear has a distinctive back panel instead of an uncomfortable central seam. And each pair is cut from 100% long-staple fine cotton for unmatched lightness, softness and breathability.

The British Boxer Short
Sunspel introduced the boxer short to Britain in 1947, at a time when underwear was still largely utilitarian. The aim was simple: to create something lighter, more comfortable and better made.
The design was refined through a series of practical improvements that remain part of the boxer short today. Sunspel introduced its distinctive back panel to avoid an uncomfortable central seam, smoothed the construction with double-turned, feldlocked seams, and switched to a super-fine, long-staple cotton that feels light and breathable against the skin.
The style became widely recognised in the 1980s, when Sunspel's boxer short appeared in Levi’s iconic 1985 advertising campaign. With only minor tweaks since, Sunspel still produces the boxer short to its original specifications, focusing on comfort, simplicity and thoughtful design.
