modern or period undergarments?

Re: modern or period undergarments?

Ok I would love to get a pair of period undergarments, but I happen to be a bigger guy with a 52" waist. All the drawers I have seen stop at size 48"... Any suggestions?

Did you try calling the appropriate approved vendors about your situation yet? Call one who makes drawers and ask them if they will make you a special order in your size. Give it a shot!

Good luck!

Obviously both ways are documented, but I highly suggest wearing drawers to you newbie authentics out there. If you go without, you're really asking for a bad weekend.

talking from experience,

10 years without'em and never really had any troubles. I guess it's all in how far you want to take your experience.

Over 20 years without them and just bought my first pair of CD French drawers last year. Wish I had them for the first 20. Comfort level is hard to believe.

I can also strongly endorse the underdrawers Chris Daley sells. They are very comfortable and have worked great for me!

Not to beat an already dead and dying horse, but, I don't leave my house without my CJ Daley drawers. Heck I wear mine in the winter under my jeans when shoveling snow. They're period correct, they're well made and they should be worn.
Just my two cents.
