In my opinion cotton isn't breathable, it's just absorbent. Sounds like it wasn't the nylon shirt but the tight collar and tie that had your panties in a bunch! (just kidding)

Say what you will, I've just always loved the feel of silky nylon. I like thin nylon socks and old school tricot running shorts too.

Interesting that you use another material to describe nylon - does silk in fact feature in anyone's wardrobe today? (once considered the height of luxury but now not available and/or too expensive?)

It depends on the cotton you use. Hanes cotton underwear is anything but comfortable or breathable however I have some organic cotton shirts that are very breathable. I prefer underwear that has lots of lycra or spandex as it is supportive yet not constricting.

I am not that big on most nylon undergarments but some of it is very comfortable and much of it either breathes better or is more comfortable than cotton.

I'm really surprised to see that this thread has had 1,563 view, yet only 18 posts. Where are the rest of the people?????

Come on guys/gals, lets throw in our 2 cents!!!

Sounds like threads on underwear instead of speedos.

Thread started 21 months ago and has stretched a bit, like Lycra (to Louis's disapproval).
Seems to have created a bit of interest however as now we have 20 posts and 1599 views.

I have a silk shirt, it is really nylony.
My surviving Dim underwear briefs are in a form of silky nylon.
I have seen many guys swimming and sunbathing in their underwear in France this year, mostly boxer briefs/square cut, so many guys now swim in their underwear that it must now be considered as a swimwear option.

Could be interesting if a lot of guys turn up so attired at les piscines
