When Andrew Christian announced they were closing their doors, the news hit the community hard. But beyond the disappointment, most of us had the same immediate thought: where am I supposed to get my underwear now?
If you've been part of the LGBTQ+ community for any length of time, you know the name Andrew Christian. For over two decades, the brand defined the aesthetic of gay men's underwear—the bold cuts, the provocative campaigns, the "Show-It" technology that left little to the imagination.
Recent news confirms what many have suspected: Andrew Christian has officially closed its doors. The brand that helped shape queer fashion in the 2000s has quietly ended its run, leaving a void in the market for gay men seeking premium underwear that balances style, comfort, and community connection.
Why Club Seven is the Perfect Replacement for Andrew Christian
As the UK's award-winning gay underwear brand, Club Seven isn't just another option; it's the natural successor to the throne. Here's why Club Seven deserves to be your new go-to.
A Brand That Truly Gets the Community
Andrew Christian built its empire on sex appeal—and there's nothing wrong with that. But Club Seven adds something extra. While we offer comfort and sexiness in one, we are also deeply embedded in the LGBTQ+ community as an LGBTQ+-owned brand based in the UK.
When you shop with Club Seven, you're not just buying underwear. You're supporting a brand that actively participates in and gives back to the community it serves. It's fashion with a conscience, something increasingly important to today's consumers.
Anatomically Engineered for Real Bodies, Not Just Hype
The Anatomy of Comfort
Let's talk about what matters most: how the underwear actually performs. We have perfected the underwear pouch design. Our collections feature anatomically engineered pouches designed for flexibility, support, enhancement, and all-day ease. Whether you're well-endowed or simply appreciate room to breathe, our designs accommodate real bodies with genuine comfort, while keeping everything sexy.
Independent reviewers confirm this. One noted that "the pouch size can accommodate any needs (including mine!)" and praised the fabric blends for being "extremely soft with a luxurious feel".
Three Distinct Collections for Every Vibe
We offer variety for different moods and needs, not just one-note (provocative and nothing else)
The Legacy Collection - Super-soft modal, everyday comfort, well-endowed men
The Luxe Collection - Premium cotton blend, dates, nights out, feeling confident and sexy
The Bamboo Collection - Bamboo viscose, gym, travel, warm weather, all-day comfort
This thoughtful segmentation means you're not forced into one "look." You can be comfortable on Monday, confident on Friday, and active on Sunday—all while wearing a brand that understands you.
Quality That Speaks for Itself
We are consistent with our quality. You know exactly what you're getting: premium, innovative fabrics, including breathable modal, luxurious cotton blends, and eco-friendly bamboo.
A detailed review from 2022 praised the fabric quality across collections: "The mix of fabrics works well because the briefs and trunks are extremely soft and have a luxurious feel". The reviewer particularly noted the Nylon Bulge Collection as "surprisingly soft" and perfect for summer weather.
Sizing That Includes Everyone
One of the most frustrating things about shopping for underwear online is inconsistent sizing. We consistently listen to feedback and explore various fits. Making room for a more inclusive sizing.
Better Value, Direct to You
You get the best value and prices directly from our websites. With offers like a free pair on orders over a certain amount, free shipping, and hassle-free returns. With a direct-to-consumer model, we deliver premium quality at exceptional value. You're paying for the product, not the marketing hype.
What makes us worthy?
An anatomically designed spacious pouch that makes you feel comfortably sexy. 9 out of 10 customers say yes when asked if the underwear makes them feel comfortable and sexy. We are community-rooted and LGBTQ+-owned.
Welcome to Your New Favourite Brand
Andrew Christian served its purpose. It permitted gay men to be bold, sexy, and unapologetic about their bodies. But the brand's closure marks the end of an era and the beginning of a better one.
We represent everything the modern gay man wants: unbeatable comfort, genuine community connection, inclusive sizing, and style that adapts to real life. We're not trying to be the loudest brand in the room; they're trying to be the best. Exclusive for real underwear lovers.
As one reviewer put it: "Club Seven Menswear does many things right. The fabrics used are excellent. These undies are very soft".
The torch has been passed. If you're looking for a replacement for Andrew Christian that actually understands you, not just as a consumer, but as a person, you're in the right place. We welcome you.
