Calvin Klein Mens Cotton Multipack Briefs

Been using CK underwear for 20 years now because they last! No, you won’t get 20 yrs out of them, but i do have some that are more than 5yrs and the elastic band is still holding up. No way Hanes or Fruit of the Looms have ever held up half as long as that.

The fabric texture miss the quality of previous years

They are too expensive and it is because of the brand, the label.

Calvin Klein underwear used to come in 2” size increments (36,38,40…). Now they’ve gone to 4” size increments (L=36-38, XL=40-42). I’m now in between sizes…L is too tight and XL is too loose. For almost $40 a four pack I’d think they could provide sizes in 2” increments.

Tags are bothersome

I purchased these about 2 years ago and they have held up well thus far. Elastic in leg openings and waistband have held up even after multiple washings. Although not recommended, Im sure hot water and bleach with hot dryer were used at times. I love the soft cotton material that CK uses on their briefs. These are a true mid rise brief to the waistline, not the full rise with excess material like original tighty whities. I dont like the low rise style that sit below the waist. These are just about right for comfort and style. I ordered Large. The size though is a little small in the waist, but tolerable. I am 5 10 185 LBS and have a 35-36 waist. I can get by wearing mediums in FTL and other brands of briefs. I purchased a pack of three Large CKs about the same time from Costco which I believe were made in India. They were sized correctly with plenty of room. The CK logo was a darker almost black lettering on the waistband. These smaller ones I purchased through Amazon were made in Sri Lanka and have a more grey/lighter CK logo. They also are slightly smaller in the crotch as well. I had some issue getting a little hot and sweaty and developed jock itch during a warm spell. Maybe best for cool weather. I love CK for comfort and looks. 4 stars for the sizing issue.

Like many of the reviewers here, were suffering for an overall downgrade in the quality of mens underwear (well, many other manufactured items also but thats a longer discussion). Anyway, used to rely on the CKs. I tried others and found I also liked Dockers. Same quality, better price, so I switched. Went to buy new ones recently as the old ones have finally (and reasonably) worn out. Well, I cant find Docker briefs anymore at all. I mean, I do a web search and a lot of links show up but when you go to the sites, they are nowhere in site. (stuck in the matrix, I guess). SO, I tried some other brands: Jockey, Gilden, others. Meh! They all tend to run small, thin fabric, lame waistband, which is often course/irritating. So, I go back to CKs. Well, they aint what they used to be but theyre a bit better than the rest. Whats with the tags though?! I thought we were trying to move away from flappy tags. See pic. Whatever. Thesell have to do. (Yeah, 4 stars seems a lot. Its just in comparison to all the lousy options)

These briefs fit well and were soft after washing. My ONLY complaint is the number of (3) scratchy tags attached to the elastic band in the back. I cut them off. Id prefer a cloth tag sewn on all edges or a stamped size/material tag.

Comfy

I have used CK briefs for years. Despite the reviews stating a lack in quality, I feel these are still fine. However, they are definitely undersized. In the past when you could order by size, I wore a 32. The mediums in the new design are probably more like a size 30. I bit tight for me, but not uncomfortable.
