The moment I first tried on a pair of ManMade Boxer Briefs, they felt great. I’m a regular brief wearer and never liked boxers as they felt a bit too bulky, with a lack of containment. When I put on the ManMade boxer briefs they felt very good on my skin right away, soft, good stretch with no restrictions while bending, sitting or walking. In addition to this, the pouch gave me the support I like. The size I ordered was perfect for me as I used the ManMade sizing chart, the wide elastic waste band felt comfortable, not too tight or too loose and the leg portion fit snuggly alleviating any bulky feeling. I waited to review the two pair I bought until I could see how they managed the laundry. I am not fussy while doing my laundry and there is just a mix of clothes that go into the washing machine, hot, double rinse and into the dryer, hot full normal cycle. My ManMade boxer briefs made it through just fine and putting them on again was like when they were brand new. So why the four stars instead of five? I’ll let you know in a year to see how they stand up. At this point in time I give them an A plus, not only that, I ordered five more pair.
