there seems to be a problem getting good (ie you can put them on and not feel the seams) cotton boxers these days. i guess it costs too much to ship the cotton to china and back or something :-( rei used to sell some nice boxers, and then, travelsmith for several years sold 'cool max' cotton boxers, first in grey, then in blue. but now, all you can find at the travel places are those ex officio spandex boxers--i have a couple pair, they have their place, but for me, nothing beats cotton for comfort.

thus, i came upon these calvins in my search. there's nothing wrong with them: they fit good, nice length, cotton (with just the right touch of spandex), colors are ... interesting, but for $30, a pop a poor bloke like me cant order many. based on my shopping experience, i'd say $20 would be a fair price for them. the waistband is nicely done, comfortable, no tags to cut off. there's no escape hatch for johnson tho, so, combined with the colors, it leaves me wondering a bit as to what the exact purpose of these things are...
