after a dozen washes the waistband stitching comes apart from the brief.

every few years I replace all my large size boxer briefs.  I've tried Fruit of the Loom years ago, which held up well but bare more skin than I want.  I just retired my Champion, which cover more like Hanes, but fall apart at the seams and became thread bare before their time. Champion waistbands also failed prematurely, and not because I'm sized wrong.  So here I am giving Hanes a try, since they have the long modest look I want (they go from my belly button about a third of the way down my thigh), with a good price and reputation for quality.  The Hanes feel noticeably thinner and lighter than my Champion did new, so I'll update this review after a year or two of wash and wear to see if they held up any better.  If you can get these direct from Amazon Prime, that's great... if you get these from one of the many third party order fillers here, just be aware they may take 2-3 weeks to arrive, as they may not email you a tracking number when they finally get around to shipping.
