I found the Dockers boxer briefs because I was frustrated trying to get a package of Hanes boxer briefs that was 100 percent cotton and colors I could live with. After problems receiving cotton/poly mixes and colors that people other than me must like, I found these Dockers in black, three to a pack, and all cotton. After a couple weeks of trial, I can't praise them enough. Very comfortable, even though the waistband is a harder elastic than Hanes. It's wide enough that it fits comfortably. The fabric is exceptionally nice, thick enough to give a sense of durability but soft enough that you barely notice it. Legs are, for me, a perfect length, not too short, not too long. The band at the bottom of the leg provides a reasonably close, but not tight, fit. Again, very comfortable. Since this is a first impression, I have no idea how well they'll hold up. But as a first impression, I can't recall every having one as positive as this about underwear. Oh, one thing: if you don't like the part of the tag on the inner waist band that flaps freely (I didn't), just cut it off. It takes five seconds and leaves the underwear (apparently) flawless.
