    Do what now? What’s wrong with Hanes and fruit of the loom? This is not something I knew people had strong opinions on.

      I don’t know if I’ve ever worn their underwear but their t shirts are fucking garbage, super thin material and they shrink badly. I’ve been buying Kirkland brand undershirts and undies at Costco for years now and they’re high quality at a good price. Apart from that, everything I typically see is cheap junk or Uber expensive designer junk of questionable quality.

      This is the only article of clothing I’m passionate about. I’ve bought things thinking they’d change my life before, none ever panned out. Saxx or an equivalent like b3neath seriously reduced my swamp ass, bat wing, and just generally made me a nicer person. People think I’m happy at work now.

        Maybe that’s the difference. I sweat like crazy out my feet, like soaking socks, but my tush is usually pretty dry. I’m extremely picky about my socks (I like Darn Tough).

          Darn tough are great socks. I’m working on getting a collection through holiday gifts. I wear steel toes at work so I’m always rocking the crew socks on the way in, mostly dickies and carhartt. Can definitely tell the difference when I have a wool sock on. LL Bean makes a decent wool sock as well.

        Dude, they’re good for a few years and then they just start falling apart. 2undr is way better. I had like 10 pairs of CK underwear and they all started falling apart at the same time. I had happened to buy the 2undr about a year before or something like that and they’ve been going strong for like 7 years now. They’re also way more fucking comfortable.

            yeah the CK underwear is good while it lasts, I loved them a ton, then they just started falling apart. I was really disappointed, especially with how much they cost. I am just waiting for the last few pairs of CK I have to get holes in them then I’ll be completely switched to 2undr. I haven’t had a single pair of 2undr get holes in them and I’ve owned several pairs for longer than some pairs of CK underwear.
