There are brands that sell underwear—and then there’s Andrew Christian, a name that defined an era.
Now the legendary designer is to retire, and his eponymous men’s underwear brand will close permanently. For over two decades Andrew Christian wasn’t just a label, his work changed the way the world sees men’s underwear - and those of us who wear it.
At Deadgoodundies, we’ve been proud to stock Andrew Christian underwear for years. Now, as the brand prepares to close its doors, we’re helping fans old and new get their hands on the last of these iconic designs.

In a moving letter to fans titled “Love in Every Stitch” Andrew Christian shared his decision to step away from the industry after more than 25 years. His final collection, fittingly named Bespoke, will be released for Autumn 2025, after which the company will officially close.
“My final words as a designer won’t be spoken aloud, but sewn into Bespoke… Soon after, the company will close,” he said.
This isn’t just the end of a business, it’s the conclusion of a story that began in a garage in LA, driven by a young gay man with talent, trauma and a dream.
Raised in Fresno’s Section 8 housing, Andrew Christian grew up facing racism and homophobia head-on. Fashion became his armour and his escape.
“Fashion wasn’t just an aspiration—it was survival,” he wrote. “Each stitch a heartbeat. Each garment, my coming out.”
In 1997, he launched his label. By 2006, his underwear designs had taken off and men across the world found their new favourite fit.
The brand’s breakthrough came with designs that were functional, fashionable and fiercely inclusive. Some of the most popular lines included:
Andrew Christian created underwear not just for bodies, but for identities. Each collection addressed a different facet of gay life, masculinity, and sexuality.
Long before "inclusive marketing" became a buzzword, Andrew Christian was putting queer bodies, love and desire front and centre. His viral campaigns featuring drag artists, dancers, and adult film stars were revolutionary.
Every element of every collection has always carried his distinctive signature, his designs ever changing in fresh styling, limited edition colours and fun, quirky prints.
The brand’s followers already know, and love, Andrew Christian’s dedication to comfort. They know to choose a pouch shape to suit their body and mood. They appreciate the softest fluffy cotton fabric, the sensual softness of bamboo rayon, and the sleek smooth finish of fine microfibres.
But Andrew Christian ensure everything works. Elastics might be a slimming waistband, narrower straps or a deeper band, always signed Andrew Christian, or simply ‘Andrew’.
Careful consideration is given as much to your rear as up front, with cheeky high cuts, full bum cover, tiny g-strings or snug thongs.
Andrew Christian balances proportions, colours, contrasts and fit with the look and feel of every pair of underwear in the line. DGU favourites include the Almost Naked pouch, which feels like wearing nothing at all, anything in cool, antibacterial bamboo which has to be worn to be fully appreciated, and any number of men’s string underwear designs.
