randomy-fronts: Y-fronts are now celebrating their 80th birthday. More than 500,000 pairs of the iconic male undercrackers are expected to be given as gifts this Christmas in the UK alone, according to original manufacturer Jockey. And while sales might have occasionally hit the skids in the face of competition from boxer shorts, Y-fronts have kept their status as the ‘original’ underwear for men. While it’s now a generic term for briefs in the UK – so-called because of the upside-down ‘Y’ shape of the front seam – when Jockey first launched the product in 1934 they were an innovative new invention. They were so cutting-edge that designers actually collaborated with urologists to ensure the pants were perfect, with the pieces providing what they called “masculine support” only otherwise available from a jock strap (aka ‘athletic support’). -- source link
