This is a solid, well made cotton brief that is on the mid line between a traditional brief and a more skimpy bikini. There's still a slit in front so one needn't dropt their pants to use a standing urinal. The waist band is wide enough to not easily curl over and the cotton brief is sturdy and, being 100% cotton, very breathable. For those who do not like a very closely fitten brief, they'll like this one and Hugo Boss offers this at an excellent price for three garments and in a substantial variety of sizes. I now open six pairs and, as needed, they'll be replaced.
