JC Penny's 100% cotton heavy weight Stafford underwear. I'm serious. Nothing else comes close.

As mentioned a few times earlier, I too prefer Under Armour boxer briefs in the 9" inseam. Especiially the Touch series. The fabric has a feel similar to cotton, but with the benefits of synthetic materials. I stumbled into this because I use their boxerjocks (short inseam boxer briefs) exclusively at the gym. I was tired of boxers bunching under my pants and tightly whities are just not comfortable to me. I started wearing them under my jeans but it wasn't long until they became a staple and replaced everything else. As I said earlier, I find the long inseam the most comfortable under trousers and for all day wear.

I will say I have tried the UA Mesh series and found them very tight fitting and just uncomfortable. I stick to the O Series and Touch Series.

To be honest I was a little bit skeptical of the elephant thong. Took a leap of faith a while ago and now I can say for sure I'll never go back!

I'm really into Lululemon boxer-briefs. I exercise a lot on the road and I need those things to dry quickly.

TMI I realize all too late.

Anyone else try the SAXX underwear, I only saw one post about them and I was considering as they have some nice designs?

Hanro FTW. Used to think the prices are crazy (because they are), but then I tried them and was instantly hooked. So now I'm 100% hanro for undershirts and underwear (mercerized cotton varieties).

Once you've built up a full rotation, it's only a few hundred bucks a year run rate to maintain it. Value judgement is personal, but nothing else has as big an impact on comfort for me, especially in hot weather. Extremely light, extremely breatheable, and soft.

I've been a long time wearer of Under Armour Men's The Original 3'' Boxerjock

Boxer Briefs. The Under Armors are great, but if I want something more sexy, I reach for the MeUndies trunks.

For a classic boxer short, I'm very fond of the ones Neiman Marcus sells. They have them regularly at last chance for around fifteen bucks.

I have several pairs of the SAXX and think they are amazing. The "pocket" really works and helps keep thing separated and where they need to be. High quality and definitely worth the price.

For a much lower cost option, I like the jockey boxer briefs with a bit of spandex in them (also make a longer leg version, which tends to ride up less).

The best, longest lasting boxers I have found are from City Boxers. Made in Maine. They are custom made and a little pricey but last forever and a great selection of fabrics. https://www.cityboxers.com/

Im a huge fan of modal fabric underwear and wear MeUndies because their much softer than cotton. Recently discovered an Australian brand Mosmann who also specialises in modal and micromodal with some cool prints.

I like Hanro.
Went to have a look at the Zimmerli range at Selfridges the other day (appeared of very high quality and of soft comfortable materials) and the composition labels all state that the items are "Made in the EEC" or "Made in EC". I queried the SA about this who smiled and assured me that everything Zimmerli makes is produced in Switzerland. But a "Made in Switzerland" statement is nowhere to be found.
