Calvin Klein Mens Cotton Multipack Briefs

The classic has been remade and some changes are more noticeable than others. The look appears largely unchanged from a distance although – in reality – the cotton is cheaper and thinner, the logo detailing much flatter and accurately representative of the CK logo, and the fit/sizing is totally different/confusing. Im a 32 waist but, since working out more regularly, I began needing the 34 size in the previous generation of this product. Now, according to the S-XL sizing for this generation of CK briefs, I should wear a medium (32-34). But going with that size makes these go from tighty whities to low-rise extra-tighty whities. After a few washes and using the gentlest of cycles, these briefs become much tighter fitting, reducing the rise slightly and the crotch size greatly. Its too snug and low for the cut being sold. And thats coming from a fan of hip briefs and other cuts. Not about modesty, just accuracy. And - btw - if you get the low-rise version of these briefs in your supposed size expect some major plumbers crack and minimal coverage up front. But, order a size up and what happens? They pretty much fit just like youd expect! Theyll appear large, but lo and behold, after just a few wash and dry cycles they shrink and fit way better than the appropriate size. I cant say I like having to buy a size larger, but when you want to keep wearing this style of CK briefs, youve got to change with the times in more ways than one. The large (36-38) fits me like Id assume a size 35 in the previous generation would (if that were a size offered). They feel slightly larger than my 34 ones but definitely not a 36. And that difference continues to shrink as these briefs seemingly do with each wash and dry. Perhaps if you were definitively on the lower end of the range for a size they would fit okay. But if you are on the middle or upper end of a size (or have average or above assets in either the front or back, youll want to definitely consider sizing up). Side note: love the colors these come in now :)

My husband has worn these CK black briefs for years and the last ones are finally giving out so I looked for a long time to find these. I can’t even remember when I bought his last packages at Costco, but they stopped carrying this style several YEARS ago and I haven’t been able to find them. He’s been wearing the same ones, but the knit edges are beginning to come loose from the elastic bands so it was time to get serious about replacing them (even so, the elastic bands are still in good shape!) I was so happy to find these for hubby cuz he hates all the new boxer briefs that fit like Speedos. However, after just a few short months, the elastic is rippling in the back seam of the waistband, so it won’t be long until it starts fraying. This used to be such a quality product: they must be using a different supplier of elastic, cuz the quality is just not what it used to be. and these newer ones cut into his leg, so the pattern must cut differently too. Too bad… it used to be a great product. not so much now.

Expensive

N/A

They are comfortable and fit well. BUT, they have not one, not two, but three tags in the waist seam. Two of them are 2 inches long, 1 shorter. They have to be removed or the underwear is unwearable. Careful when you take them off. Do not tear them or you will rip the seam. You have to carefully cut them off. Cut them off too close and you cut the waistband seam, cut them not so close and you get to be irritated all day with the pieces of tag scraping your backside. Really Calvin? You need all these tags?! Nobody else does this. NOBODY! They are just washing instructions and content statements. Other manufacturers actually have one short tag that is perforated, properly, that tears off. Others have all that stuff printed on the inside of the material. You cant do this? Great underwear made totally inconvenient. I wont buy them again.

Mi pedido era M, entendía que me iba a quedar bien por mis medidas, pero para mi sorpresa me quedo más holgado de lo esperado

Still true to fit and finish. Once washed, no shrinking, fits perfect.

good

Like many of the reviewers here, were suffering for an overall downgrade in the quality of mens underwear (well, many other manufactured items also but thats a longer discussion). Anyway, used to rely on the CKs. I tried others and found I also liked Dockers. Same quality, better price, so I switched. Went to buy new ones recently as the old ones have finally (and reasonably) worn out. Well, I cant find Docker briefs anymore at all. I mean, I do a web search and a lot of links show up but when you go to the sites, they are nowhere in site. (stuck in the matrix, I guess). SO, I tried some other brands: Jockey, Gilden, others. Meh! They all tend to run small, thin fabric, lame waistband, which is often course/irritating. So, I go back to CKs. Well, they aint what they used to be but theyre a bit better than the rest. Whats with the tags though?! I thought we were trying to move away from flappy tags. See pic. Whatever. Thesell have to do. (Yeah, 4 stars seems a lot. Its just in comparison to all the lousy options)

need larger size
