Underwear Guy Review: Jockey Life Sculptured Pouch Trunk
Designer/Manufacturer: Jockey/Life Underwear

The department store brand reviews continue with a feature on the Sculptured Pouch Trunk from Life Underwear. For those of you who may not already know, Life underwear is a special Wal-Mart exclusive brand manufactured by Jockey Underwear. Interestingly the styles and designs for the two brands are often very different and there is little cross-over between the two. Most Life underwear is now sold in single-packs around the $8-10 range. There are a variety of bikinis, briefs and trunks available in both cotton and microfiber fabric blends. Joining the underwear “pouch revolution”, Life introduced a new range of shaped underwear a while back that they call the Sculptured Pouch line which is available in cotton and microfiber versions. This review covers the microfiber Trunk which is available in a range of solid colors including but not limited to gray, blue and red. Life underwear generally runs true to size with these mediums working quite well for myself. The microfiber material is comfortable with a decent amount of stretch in a shiny almost silk-like finish. The waistband could probably be a bit softer in the weave of the material but it serves its purpose well and doesn’t feel too tight. The pouch in front is well-designed with just the right amount of room to not feel confined but not so much that you don’t feel the necessary support of a brief. Unlike a lot of other department store brands these Life trunks have a well-designed cut that doesn’t ride up on the hips or back so the design deserves good marks for accurately fitting the parameters of what a trunk should be. There isn’t any specific branding or logo on the waistband which is kind of nice for a change.

The Grades:

Fit:	A	A good fit with just the right amounts of material in the front and back with a waist and leg cut that does not bind.
Design:	A-	Although the color selections are a bit on the boring side they are decently fashionable and the pouch design is excellent.
Material:	A	The microfiber has a decent amount of stretch-memory to it so the design will hold it’s shape throughout a day of wearing.
Construction:	A	This trunk had solid construction quality with not errant threads or uneven seams.
Overall Grade:	A	A nice surprise that these are a very solid pouch trunk at an affordable price.
Would I buy another pair? Yes, I found these to be a very competitive entry in the pouch underwear category at a relatively low price and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair.
