To explain my love for Dockers briefs, I need to give a bit of history so bear with me. Like many guys around my age (24), my underwear preferences have evolved throughout the years. From the time I was a little kid up until my sophomore year of high school I wore briefs (tighty whities), but eventually noticed that most guys around the football/baseball locker rooms (except for a handful) had switched to boxers; so I did the same. When I graduated and began playing baseball for my college team as a freshman, I noticed that boxer briefs were the primary choice for most of the other guys. Over the course of 4 seasons playing college baseball, the underwear preferences shifted again to where all but 2 or 3 guys had switched back to briefs exclusively; mainly white Hanes, FTL, and one or two Calvin Klein. While my own underwear preference was not influenced TOTALLY by others, I didn't want to fall victim to jokes about what I wore in high school or college (I had a few jokes made in HS). However, while boxers and boxer briefs were alright, I always preferred the comfort and support of briefs. One afternoon after baseball practice, my best friend on the team came back from the showers, opened his locker and pulled a pair of these Dockers from a stack of about 6 or 7 he had stored in his locker. I casually asked him if I could see a pair and upon handing them to me, I asked where he bought them because they felt very soft and that (but not implying anything) they looked very comfortable when he was wearing them. He pulled out another pair from his stack and said "here, try them for today...you can wash them and bring them back later." So after taking off the white Hanes briefs I was already sitting in, I put the Dockers on and was immediately hooked. I asked him where he bought his and he said Kohls (at the time, you could still buy them there in 3-4 packs). So I went to Kohls and bought 5 packages of them...spending around $80-90 for all of them. I have never regretted that decision or the money spent. That was 3 years ago, and since that day in the locker room when I tried on my friend's Dockers, I have never for one day worn anything else. I eventually either threw away or gave away all of my old underwear, including the boxers/boxer briefs from high school/early college and the white Hanes and FTL briefs I wore before these.

Simply put, these briefs are incredibly comfortable. The cotton they are made from only gets softer with each wash, and I have never had to use bleach to keep them staying the stark white color they have always been. The support they provide is second to none and have only somewhat lost their shape in the "private areas". The waistband has never once even tried to bend or crinkle as it typically does with Hanes or a less expensive brand. Even my oldest pairs (which are over 3 years old now) have kept their shape perfectly (except, as I said, for a slight amount in the private areas...which is expected) and have never ripped, torn or become threadbare. As compared to full-rise Hanes and low-rise Calvin Klein's, these are a PERFECT combination. They do not rise so far up that they cover my belly button, but do not fall so low that there is virtually no fabric...they are expertly situated in between. When washing them you'd think they would eventually lose their shape and color, but they have never failed me in that area. It may seem excessive, but I probably own 30-40 pairs of these white Dockers briefs, mainly because I do laundry once a week or less and also because I now coach high school baseball where I tend to sweat and work out a lot...causing me to change underwear frequently. For those reasons, I own a lot of underwear. While most of them are kept at home, I do keep a steady supply of 10-12 pairs of these in my locker at school as well as 2 or 3 in the back seat of my truck in case I run out at school. I have actually recommended these briefs to several other coaches as well as many of my players who have complained that their compression shorts or even their own white Hanes briefs do not provide enough support needed to play baseball. In over a year of coaching baseball for the school I'm at, there are 15-20 coaches and players who have switched either primarily to Dockers or have incorporated them into their underwear rotation.

My ONLY wish is that Dockers still marketed these briefs and sold them on shelves in stores such as Kohls, JC Penney's, Dillards, Macy's, Target and even Walmart!! Someone should start a movement....haha!! Go out and buy you a package of these briefs, it will be the best underwear decision you've ever made!!
