I very much enjoyed this rundown of your strap collection, which will be different for anyone here on the UK. As they say, you have to kiss many frogs to find the princess. I only wish you were able to buy some UK style white sports straps, which I guarantee would feel just right. Like you, one brand and model of strap bought a year or so later, has been re-designed, maybe even comes from another factory or country. No sports shop sells them now. I will always prefer a strap to any kind of briefs, boxers or boxer-briefs.
