Men's Long Cut Classic Boxer Short in Plain Blue

Sunspel

£49

Sunspel introduced the boxer short to Britain in 1947, with the aim of creating something lighter and more comfortable. This long cut version offers a slightly longer leg than the original style. It features Sunspel’s distinctive back panel to avoid a central seam, with double-turned seams for comfort. Cut from super-fine, long-staple cotton, it is breathable and soft against the skin. Sunspel’s boxer short became widely recognised after appearing in Levi’s iconic 1985 advertising campaign and is still made to the same principles today. Product Code: MBOX4702-BUAN

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SUNSPEL LIMITED, number 01781094. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "We have been based in our factory in Long Eaton, England since 1937" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
