BirdBriefs

"Boxer briefs for the guy on the fly."

RETIRED · CIRCA 2016

What it was

Before the agents, before the jewelry, there was underwear. BirdBriefs was a direct-to-consumer subscription platform with one job: make sure a busy guy never has to think about buying boxer briefs again. Fresh pairs (95% cotton, 5% spandex) showed up at your doorstep every quarter, automatically.

It was a real, working platform — member accounts with registration and sign-in, recurring quarterly subscription billing, plan management (the onboarding flow was called "How to Fly"), gift subscriptions, and a blog. Built and flown solo.

The flight plans

Economy

$24

2 pairs every 3 months — $12.00 per pair. "Perfect for your average guy."

Business

$30

3 pairs every 3 months — $10.00 per pair. "Shopping for boxer-briefs will be a thing of the past."

First Class

$36

4 pairs every 3 months — $9.00 per pair. "Bear Grylls meets Prince Charles, this plan has it all!"

Where it landed

BirdBriefs has been retired, and the birdbriefs.com domain has since flown on to new owners. The site lives on in the Internet Archive — step into the November 2016 time capsule.

The bird, however, never landed: BirdBriefs → ZachtheBird → BusyBird. Same wings, new cargo.
