<p>NZD mate! Oh, sorry, it's the same thing..... :)</p> -
<p>I usually order some online from Next (around $20 for pack of 3) quite often get free delivery to NZ.</p>

<p>Hallensteins had some decent cotton ones on special recently 3 for $20, had issues with the Jockey sports ones! </p> -

<p>and I don't buy them, the missus gets them for me duty free when she is bored and waiting in transit on work trips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are lucky you can pick them up in a storewide sale or at the Icebreaker clearance stores as well.</p> -

<p>It's the luxuries in life that count mate, and rubbing those luxuries against your goods counts even more.</p> -

<p>Sure! They look comfy on those male models! Where is the photo of the 40year old with a beer gut trying to get fit with them on? :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You've convinced me to grab some.</p> -

<p>But it's like men buying their missus sexy lingerie in the hope they will look like a Victoria's Secret model when they put it on. Show the pics to Mrs Hooroo and she'll be getting out the credit card.</p> -

<p>Only from the formaldehyde.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Now there is a sentence! (Lets talk around the undie conversation). Do all of the e-cigarettes use formaldehyde?</p> -

<p>Who cares about sheets. Most of time when I'm in bed I'm asleep, so wouldn't know, or care, what I'm sleeping on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Underpants however, are a different matter. I have recently learned the pleasure of wearing Icebreaker Merino undies. Throw away your cotton forever and enjoy the soft encasement of your danglies in fine wool.</p>

<p>I am wearing my merino undies as I type. Both briefs and boxers for me. They used to have old season stock at the outlets for something reasonable, but when I was back last month, none of the outlets carried any underwear. Both Mrs DK & I were very disappointed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When washing them, don't throw them in with your normal wash, as the detergents perish the wool. We (as in Mrs DK) does a separate Merino wash with a wool detergent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now back to my floral arranging</p> -

<p>$50 a pair or 2 pair for $90 usually. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for being hot? Completely the opposite. They are very 'breathable' meaning they don't get sweaty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wool is so fine you'd think it was silk.</p>

<p>For breathable, nothing beats these for me - I get mine shipped from Japan as they are cheaper...</p>

<p>The t-shirts are awesome under a business shirt in summer too</p> -
+1 for uniqlo.

<p>Nice. Is that NZD or USD? Looks cheap as chips compared to the Merino ones above</p>

<p> </p>
<p>That price is USD. The Japan online store is especially cheap (it being the middle of winter there possibly). 990 yen - just over NZD $11. Domestic shipping only through (I have a forwarding service I use) <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.uniqlo.com/jp/store/feature/uq/airism/men/'>http://www.uniqlo.com/jp/store/feature/uq/airism/men/</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Their Aussie store is at $15 AUD <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.uniqlo.com/au/store/men/collections/airism.html'>http://www.uniqlo.com/au/store/men/collections/airism.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a related note, their Heattech ones are fantastically warm for winter - I prefer them to merino now</p> -

<p>Yep, my "functional undies" drawer is 90 Uniqlo, Airism for summer, heattech for winter. They are cheap as too.</p>
