Nice Laundry, a New York-based maker of men’s socks and underwear, has released a limited-edition pair of 1,000 USD boxer shorts made from pure cashmere (finished with a horn button closure and embroidered with 24-karat gold thread stitched to look like a flying pig). It’s the kind of indulgent wearable that only people with great means (and great senses of humour) are going to appreciate and, ultimately, purchase.
