I purchased these silk boxers for my husband as a Christmas gift. I had purchased silk boxers for him before, but none of them held up well over time, and he found the back center seams uncomfortable on many of them. He really likes this pair, though! They fit well, and although the fabric is fairly thin, it has held up well through its first couple of washings. I also purchased the Royal Silk brand mesh bag for laundering them, which I think has made a difference.
