Nice men's pants

DH wants nice new underwear for his birthday (about time too). He doesn't like boxers or briefs - they have to be stretchy jersey short type things. I don't like Calvin Klein style branded white ones and would really like to find some that are gorgeous in fabric, colour or pattern (preferably all three). Is there such a thing?

Closest things I've found on the high street are in Gap, but it's all rather uninspired. Help!

thanks for the link display, I need something more shorts-y but I will keep hunting on figleaves, should have thought of that.

MaryAnn I do like those but perhaps not enough to spend more on them than I ever have on my own pants...!

Ted Baker - funky patterns. They are stretchy short things.

yes, sorry aquavit - realised my link was for briefs rather than shorts. Meant it just to be a figleaves link.
You are correct to think it is not the done thing to spend more on your DH's smalls than you do on your own slinky malinkies

Display - Bleurgh. They look like they come pre-stained with urine for that authentic nursing home look

you know you're in trouble when you're faced with the phrase 'beige marl'

I like those American Apparel ones, now I just have to get the image of their dodgy CEO wearing nothing else to a board meeting (or whatever that story was) out of my mind...
