To celebrate Cliff’s accomplishment of taking closed circuit rebreather diving to the next level, I created him a pair of boxers to wear under his dry-suit while exploring his first caves. I lovingly called them “No-Bends Boxers” in the hopes that my hand-made talisman would bring him back to the surface safely, and that all bubbles would be on his shorts, not in his blood.

This was a really simple pattern, and very quick to make. All you need is about a yard of fabric and 1-inch elastic tape for the waistband. Check out Threadbanger.com‘s vodcast that demonstrates how to create your own boxer pattern.
