As with many of my undershirt discoveries, I came across Christian McCann’s Choctaw Ridge made in NYC undergarments totally by accident.
The story of how the product line came to be is interesting, so I thought I’d share it. Here’s an excerpt from the company’s About page.
The inspiration for Choctaw Ridge came from an old underwear box from the 1930s.
To me, the box represented an era when men put considerably more effort into their appearance. Shoes were polished at all times. Shirts and pants were freshly pressed. Every aspect of a wardrobe was considered and cared for, all the way down to the undergarments.
Needless to say, times have changed. Back then, items were of a higher quality, and you bought the best you could afford and seldom more than you needed. Today, it’s all about fast, cheap and disposable.
Choctaw Ridge is a return to how things used to be. From the materials, to the construction, to the packaging, no corner has been cut and no expense has been spared. We believe that our garments are as good, if not better, than those of the past.
