}}
The Boxer shorts have a {{Defence}} bonus of +8 and can only be equipped by [[Yangus]]. Oddly enough, they cannot be worn by [[Morrie]] in the Nintendo 3DS version. They cannot be purchased anywhere, but can be sold for 50 gold. One pair can be found in a treasure chest in the [[Farebury Region]] and another in a bag at [[Pickham]]. [[Dancing devil|Dancing devils]] have a {{fraction|1|64}} chance of dropping them. They can be made in the Alchemy Pot and can be mixed to create other pieces of clothing.

* Yangus holds up two pairs of boxer shorts when he performs the [[Underpants Dance]].
* In the original Japanese version, the boxer shorts are known as the steteco pants, a type of loose cotton shorts traditionally worn by Japanese men underneath kimonos or hakama as underwear, particularly during the summer.
