Underwear Guy Review: Benjamin Blak Rugby Trunk Review

The latest release from high-end design label Benjamin Blak is a series of trunks in a fun rugby/football style theme. These trunks combine a variety of materials including a base material of 95% soy and 5% lycra for the white/red and yellow/green versions and a 95% cotton and 5% lycra blend for the black/white version. Other material highlights include a washable leather pouch which is smooth on the white/red and black/white and texturized suede on the yellow/green with a white cord (most likely nylon) woven through the front. The trunk style is medium length extending 7” from the base of the 1 ¼” waistband on the outside leg with an inseam of approximately 3 ½”. The waistband is covered in the exterior but exposed on the interior that has a brushed surface for softness and comfort. The fit on these trunks is true-to-size with the mediums that I purchased working well without being too tight. The contrast stitching is used as a nice design element running along the base of the legs as well as in the same pattern on the back found on the previously reviewed Benjamin Blak cargo trunks. There are three applied graphics with numbers (different for each color) and an elaborate crest on the front legs and a rugby ball on the back. These graphics are printed with a very durable plastic-like ink that doesn’t appear to be susceptible to cracking or peeling and it can also stretch with the base material which bodes well for long-term wear. The front pouch is made from a surprisingly soft and flexible washable leather dyed a nice even color for the red and black versions. The leather on the yellow/green trunk is a bit different than the other two in that it's not quite as soft and has a slightly stiffer feel to it although the look is more "authentic" to the sport with the texturized finish in a natural dark brown. Although this leather is fully washable it probably goes without saying that you would want to hand-wash these garments for the best long-term durability. In case you were wondering the interior of the pouch is fully lined with a layer of the base fabric so you don’t have to worry about the leather or cords becoming a comfort issue. Despite all the layers of material the pouch doesn’t feel overly bulky thanks to the work done to keep the seams tightly stitched with very clean cuts along the patterns. The pouch shape and size might be a bit on the tight side for some guys so just keep that in mind when considering a purchase.
