When I opened the package, I knew these were good. Wool comes in different grades and high end will is not scratchy.  These boxed briefs are made of a high grade wool, which is not scratchy.  I'm a lady, and I got these for my husband, but I have had hundred dollar legit cashmere sweaters and these boxer briefs are somewhat along those lines.  High end will is a world away from low grade sweaters.  These are not cashmere, but thin material like you'd expect from underwear and not scratchy.  It's like a t shirt thickness.  Wool socks well by the way, so think about how will socks wick, and think about wool dress socks, if you've had those.

Husband says these are great.  Really good at wicking moisture.  Temp of 101 in Florida this week, and no problems wearing these.  He spent a few hours outside in the hot humid Florida summer, and really comfortable.  He said he was sweaty everywhere else, but not in the underwear.

These did fine in the wash with everything else.  I hang dry all my laundry, but these seem fine to go in a dryer.

These are expensive, but totally worth it.  This is good quality natural materials that should last a long time.
