I need some new boxers and was on the BB site ordering some chinos when I noticed they have slim fit boxers. So I was wondering what are your experiences with them. Are they good quality? Are they truly slim fitting?

What's next? Slim fit socks?

...or...

Don't need all that extra room in the regular fit boxers, eh?

How about this. What the hell is the reason to buy Brooks Brothers underwear?

If they are good quality and last me 2 years why not? I like the patterns too

Actually, I have a bunch of their boxer briefs. For a while there the "346" stores had "Made in Canada" boxer briefs for pretty cheap, and I stocked up. They are much nicer than Calvin Klein.

I've slowly migrated to almost entirely BB boxers.

Used to be a big fan of (surprisingly) Banana Republic boxers in the early 2000s. Great fabrics, good fit. They ruined them.

Then I migrated to Vineyard Vines as these were (and still are) closest to the Banana Republics from the glory days.

Slowly started peppering my boxer collection with BB. Now I wear BB almost exclusively, but I have none of the slim fit. I'm a pretty skinny guy so I could probably stand to wear the slim fit but I love the roominess of BB's full cut boxers. Quality is great - made of the same non-non-iron fabrics BB uses for its shirts.

Boxers last forever, so what's the big deal if they cost $20/pr? FWIW, the BB outlet stores (346) have the identical boxers to the main stores, usually at half the price.

I've had my Hanes for 8 years or better with no problem. Try these:

I've tried the slim fit in oxford cloth. They're nice but still not slim enough to wear with slimmer fitting pants or jeans. Comfortable though, and they wear well.

had been meaning to try these for at least a year now but they never had my size in any of the decent patterns online. just found a few on their site so placed an order to see if they're any better than the traditional fit. the trad. fit is super baggy, especially in the seat which is MASSIVE. they look goofy and bunch up a lot. I would imagine the fit on the slim fit is probably average fitting and not very slim based on comparison.
