The world’s most expensive men’s underwear features 24-karat gold embroidery

Wondering what to get the man who has everything? Try the world’s most expensive pair of underwear.

New York-based menswear brand Nice Laundry, best known for its fancy socks, has debuted some truly luxurious undercrackers.

These aren’t your usual boxer shorts which come three to a pack. Instead, they’re a $1,000 limited edition creation, complete with 24-karat gold embroidery.

The 24k gold embroidery boasts a flying pig, 100% cashmere fabric and a 'horn button' closure.

“We didn’t want to half-ass this cashmere boxer,” Nice Laundry co-founder Ricky Choi told Men's Health. “We started with 100% cashmere—no wool blend or low-grade stuff —and worked with a team here in New York to hand sew each pair.”

Of course, if the man in your life (or you) doesn’t need a pair of $1,000 shorts, you could always simply try Nice Laundry's monogramming service instead. The brand is offering eight different icons to customize your underpinnings with, including an American flag, a money bag and a needlepoint skull.
