Saxx Hyperdrive

Saxx is probably the granddaddy of pouch underwear. Besides some lively prints and tastefully hued solids in comfort-oriented fiber blends, the brand has just introduced a sport short that not only includes a “3D hammock-shaped pouch” but also mesh panels and “Flat Out Seams” to prevent friction and ensure chafe-free support. They offer a compression fit that is perfect for both training and competition.

Here they are, the all-around best men's clothing brands in the world right now. These head-to-toe outfitters offer a wide range of products — no specialty brands. To qualify for this list of best clothing brands, you have to be able to theoretically build at least 75% of a fully functional wardrobe from that brand alone. So you may not see your favorite footwear or outerwear brand here if it only specializes in that particular category.

The other qualification for the best clothing brands for men is that they have to design most of their products, so you won't find any wholesale retailers here. They can sell other brands when it fills a need to round out their collection, but they have to offer original designs predominantly.
