This is my third review and hope it does not go down the "review hole" with the others.
The garment as I measured the Large briefs were 31&1/2" and my pants, though I like them loose are usually 36" waste, though only the past week I bought Hagar dress pants 34" waste with plenty of room, so How come Large David Archy is too tight and leaves elastic band marks pressed into my skin?  The point is:  Why should someone who fits comfortably into 34" pants need to order XL David Archy?  These are marked wrong for Americans.  Comments all agree with manufacturer, so either comments are rigged or Commentors in general like their middle tightly wrapped.  Me, I like to feel naked and would have ordered the very brief Briefs (Bikini?) if it weren't for the overt pocket pouch extrude.  Will not wear these; and will not buy clothing on Amazon again - too chancey.  Nice material though.
