The verdict
The men's line gets the fundamentals right: a soft cotton-modal blend, clean styling, strong stretch recovery, and sizes from XS through 5X. The standard cotton boxer brief is the one to buy; the slicker stretch fabrics trade some airflow for a closer fit.
What works
- Soft cotton-modal everyday fabric
- XS-to-5X size range
- Strong leg elastic and shape recovery
What doesn't
- Popular sizes sell out often
- No functional fly on core styles
