Great briefs, but new colors would be nice!
"I love the feel, the support, the fabric. . . Everything about these are great! But wouldn't some fun colors be great too? Maybe green camouflage, or bright red, turquoise, orange? The Boxer briefs and trunks get fun colors, but the briefs are all plain. Contrasting waistbands, maybe a black brief with a neon green or orange waistband? C'mon, briefs guys like colors too!"
Waist band defects. I have
"Waist band defects. I have purchased the same style from Tommy John dozens of times. The last three pairs that I received seem to be defective. Disappointed. I’ll probably look elsewhere in the future."
Not What Was Expected
"I liked the first bunch of TJs I bought at a store, Wanted another 6 pr EXACTLY like the others. Tried to read the label. Thought I order correctly. Received 6 in a different fabric called by the same name. Couldn't tell until I removed each from their plastic bags. (BTW: a $200 order warrants better packaging). Stuck with 6 pr of meh underwear. Suggestion: either name things of different fabrics DIFFERENTLY or make a reorder # OBVIOUS."
By far the best underwear!
"By far the best underwear! Don’t even know your wearing them"
All I can say is
"All I can say is 5 Stars and you need to get this product for your wardrobe."
Cool And comfortable. Been a
"Cool And comfortable. Been a boxer and boxer brief guy for decades. Haven’t warn briefs since I was a child. But now I am hooked. Not constricting and just the right amount of support. I’m sold!"
These are lightweight, comfortable and
"These are lightweight, comfortable and the elastic band tends not to roll down ."
My husband previously wore large
"My husband previously wore large briefs and we ordered the same. The new large is 1 1/4 “ wider. Tommy John allowed an exchange. The current medium fits perfect."
Long time Mack Weldon shopper.
"Long time Mack Weldon shopper. First time shopping Tommy John underwear. Fit is excellent and I very much like the horizontal fly (and find it easier than the vertical fly Mack Weldon has). Ordered cotton and second skin briefs and trunks. Find the fit and waistband excellent. Will replace my old Jockeys with Tommy John. Their promotions are also an extra incentive."
The underpants are very comfortable,
"The underpants are very comfortable, super soft and do not bother my skin anywhere."
