Now I’m worried. What didn’t my mother tell me about men’s underwear?

I don’t recall my mother telling me anything about men’s underwear, either. Until I saw that ad, I had no idea that mothers were supposed to tell their daughters about men’s underwear. I have three adult daughters who all had to learn about men’s underwear on their own, due to my negligence.

I have seen a lot of ugly ties in my lifetime, but Cutter Cravats take the grand prize for ugliness. I wonder if anyone bought them.

At least they’re eye-catching. Who cares about solid red or blue ties?

I think I would be mortified if my mother sat me down and lectured me on men’s underwear.
