I used to take the FRUIT OF THE LOOM CLASSIC BOXER long for years as they were the only ones that suited me perfectly without annoying irritations. Unfortunately, they have now been discontinued, and I decided to try these on a friend's advice. Comfort, quality, they don't press the...family, they don't bunch up on the thighs. They are quite long. Maybe with short shorts in summer, they might not be worn. Under tight or loose pants, no problem. Very good fabric, I've been putting them in the washing machine for a long time, and their elastic is intact. Also, no thread has come out of any seam. Amazing boxer. I'm telling you, as someone who is very picky with underwear (everything bothers me). I took one size above the large which is my normal size, and I'm fine (maybe the large would fit me too, but the xlarge is also fine for me, and I like the extra comfort, but that's me)
