I recently decided to upgrade my underwear from no frills baggy fit Hanes to something nicer. I'm ashamed to say out loud the figure I invested in this upgrade, but it was a lot. Anyway, I tried all the major brands and these are the winners. Best fit and feel. The construction is also the best. You won't find any loose threads hanging off of these. If you only try one brand of fancy, expense underwear, then it should be these. 34 inch waste is a medium.
