I am a guy who is big enough to really put these to the test. I grew up wearing tighty whities as a kid, and just kept wearing them past that point because it was all I ever knew. After a particularly nasty chafing incident where it felt like the leg hole of my Fruit of the Loom briefs was trying to chainsaw through my leg, I decided that I had to try something different. I didn't want boxers because I wanted the support of the briefs to keep everything in its place, but I wanted the leg style of the boxers. Viola! Boxer briefs were for me. I initially balked at the price, but at that point, I was ready to try anything, so I bought a pair. Once they arrived a couple days later (thanks Prime!) I tried them out, and the difference was amazing. I immediately bought 5 more pairs. So, the first reason I give these 5 stars is the comfort.The second reason I give these 5 stars is that they have been holding up extremely well! I bought them in March of 2012, and here it is at the end of April of 2014. All of the pairs are still in pretty great shape! Waistbands are attached all the way around, no holes in them, nothing wrong at all. Maybe the leg elastic isn't quite as tight but since it isn't like regular briefs where that would get all bunched up, I don't really see it as a big issue.In any case, the price might be higher than your standard underwear, but my experience has been that they are worth every extra penny. I used to have to replace the cheap kinds every year or so, and that was wearing them until they were sometimes starting to unravel, so when you compare it that way, the extra cost up front isn't such a big difference. For those that are saying they don't see any additional value or comfort on these, I can only think maybe they are talking about standard sizes. Unfortunately, I can't comment on those sizes. In the fat guy sizes that I wear, though, these are the best I have ever tried. Buying more now that they are on sale! :)Very well made. Perfect fit. Worth the money. Highly recommend.Nice CK drawers, but way too big! My man's big so we thought he needed 2xl. Nope! Like that they don't have uncomfortable waist band, so just gonna order in XLThe underwear itself is fine, but it was covered in lint. I'm unsure of what that was all about, but I had white specks all over it. Other than that, everything was fine. A little expensive for what it's worth, but fine.I really like the calvin klein boxer briefs. the legs are long enough to not bunch up. I also purchased some ralph lauren and I can't say the same for them. the legs are too short and they bunch up easily.After ordering 5 different brands (including multiple sizes of one brand) of boxers and boxer briefs, these fit just right. The sizing between manufacturers is frustrating at best--some were too big and some were too small. One item of note is that Calvin Klein sizes their big and tall items differently than their regular items. An XXL Regular and a 2X big and tall are different sizes.These are my favorite boxer briefs now that Tommy isn't making them in big/tall sizes. The black ones, for whatever reason, always last much longer than the grey ones. The grey ones start to come loose from the elastic band within 6 months - it happened with 3 of the 5 pair of grey I bought. I have 6 pair of black and not one has an issue like this.I believed it to be a pack of 2 but it is only one pair. A little snug but ok overall. Waistband "bacon necked" after first use.
