The jockstrap as a fashion or, let's just say, leisure item is a fairly modern affair.
As a sporting garment, however, its history is relatively long and well-documented.
But which came first? The jock – as in US slang for a sportsman – or the jockstrap? And the answer is...the garment.
It's generally agreed that the jock in question was a short form of jockey. Not a jockey on a horse, but on a bike. A bike, to be more specific, being ridden across the cobbles of Boston, Massachusetts, in the late-ish 19th century.
So the jockstrap was invented to stop a cyclist's undercarriage from being hobbled by cobbles.
There's also some evidence that 'jock' is much earlier slang for a chap's...chap, but we'll leave that in the past.
All we know is that our jockstraps do the job they were designed for – providing comfort and support for sport, or any other activity.
Well made
I would prefer if the pouch had more forward room as opposed to downward room
Thank you Joshua for the review and for your comment, I will pass it on to our designer and to the factory.
Just received these 2 T-shirts today and like them very much to compliment the 3 short sleeves T-shirts I already bought
Thank you very much Eugene for your new review, this is much appreciated!
Boxer homme bleu azur en Tencel
Ordered trunks and they are very comfortable- high quality and the true review is I ordered 6 more pairs.
Thank you very much Patrick
Was looking online for organic cotton underwear saw these thought hmm so placed my order. Really happy with the fit the colors and styling. Going from boxer briefs to briefs was an adjustment but I’m getting to prefer them honestly because there’s nothing to bunch up on my thighs
Thank you very much Ronald! :)
