Longtime readers of the blog probably know by now that I have a bit of an obsession with men’s underwear—there was even a time when I was reviewing a new pair almost every month—so I’m especially excited to be sharing the 18th installment in the series today, featuring a standout option from Ibex and their new Naturals Collection.
Believe it or not, this is the 18th men’s underwear review we’ve published—which means we’ve worn, washed, and weighed the pros and cons of just about every fabric and fit out there. Ibex’s Naturals collection brings something a little different to the table with its Merino wool construction and minimalist, unbranded aesthetic.
The collection spans both men’s and women’s options, including racerback and cami tanks, thongs, bikinis, and boxer briefs in standard and long lengths. All come in a palette of muted, natural tones that feel right at home in the Ibex lineup.
Wool might not be your first thought when it comes to underwear, but Merino’s natural performance qualities—breathability, softness, and moisture management—make it a smart pick. The boxer briefs are comfortable, hold their shape well, and perform reliably throughout the day.
They’re good—solid, dependable, and thoughtfully made—but at $55 a pair, you’re paying a premium that may not feel entirely justified unless you’re already a Merino convert. If you’re looking to upgrade your basics and like the idea of natural fibers, these are worth considering.
