·
"I ended up grabbing a couple pairs of pair of Thieves today. Love them already."

Jockey

4.7
(18)
"I say buy couple of Jockey underwear, 3 if you can afford it. They would last you couple years easily. Much better than buying cheap underwear which will cost less but won't last even six months. I have found that investment in Jockey underwear is much much better than buying any slightly inferior brand plus they are comfortable AF."

"Jockey sabse best"
·
"Jockey one and only"
·
"Jockey or nothing ;)"
·

"If you can afford/justify it - Tommy John is great. I could never pay full price on it but they are easily the best I’ve had, makes modal Calvins feel thin and cheap"
·
"Tommy John"
·
"Tommy John's breathability is top-tier, and they don't ride up."
·
"Tommy John. Second skin material. Style of your choice. I like the loose boxers and the squarecut."
