Outstanding Product at an Outstanding Price
My preferred type of underwear for pretty much my entire life has been the mid-rise brief, and for many years now my go-to brand has been the Hanes tagless mid-rise briefs. Unfortunately, over at least the last two purchases of the Hanes briefs I had noticed a dramatic decrease in quality and have been looking for an alternative for some time. I've been curious about brands such as Duluth Trading and Tommy John and so forth, but I'm sorry folks - as much as I want comfortable underwear there is NO WAY you're going to see me paying 30 bucks or more for a pair! So I did rather extensive research before my purchase and would like to share with you some of what I discovered.It seems that The Thing today with most of the "designer" underwear manufacturers is Micromodal fabric. You'll see varying qualities of Micromodal offered by different manufacturers - 40s, 80s, Micromodal Air and such, but they're simply variations on the same thing: Micromodal is a synthetic fabric produced from the chips of beechwood trees and comprises 90 to 95 percent of most of these underwear brands with the rest being Spandex. Now normally I think of a "synthetic" fabric as being something like polyester or nylon produced from derivatives of petroleum products so I'm not sure why something made essentially from trees is called "synthetic", but there it is. Micromodal is supposed to be smoother, lighter and stronger than cotton and much better at moisture wicking - that is to say staying dry to your skin. It's often described in terms of being silky, but I think that's a bit inaccurate: to me, silky implies a cool, smooth sensation where, while very smooth, Micromodal seems to be to be temperature neutral rather than cool. This is a good thing and I think it is why so many people describe these as feeling like you're not wearing any underwear at all. In sensory terms, it essentially disappears against your skin, resulting in the feeling of having support without substance. And that is a very good thing.My research on the fabric convinced me that it was worth trying, so I began searching for underwear that used Micromodal but didn't cost a fortune...and that's how I discovered the David Archy products here on Amazon. Where most brands are asking about 30 bucks a pair, Amazon has these right now at four pair for $17.99. That's more like it. I have usually worn my Hanes in a size 32-34 because, while my waist is actually closer to 36, I prefer my underwear a bit on the snug side. But having seen reviews that said the David Archy briefs tend to run a bit small, I ordered the Large (36-38) size. I just got them two days ago, so this is a preliminary review based on initial impressions, but I promise to come back and update with my findings after multiple wearings and washings with my observations on longer term comfort, stretching, sagging, colorfastness and so forth. The briefs seem to be very well constructed. They are extremely light weight except for the waistband which is comfortably wide and substantial. The back is seamless and the front is flyless - which I am completely used to and is fine with me. Trying them on, I find they are very smooth and - as I said earlier - not exactly "silky" but rather temperature neutral so that it really does feel like you're wearing nothing at all, except that the Family Jewels are supported comfortably in place. There is no sensation of cutting or friction in the crotch area or movement against the skin as you sit, stand, walk, crouch, bend, etc. They're just...there. Very, very nice. My wife says they look good on me and her opinion is the ONLY one that matters in that department.Right out of the box, first time on, they fit absolutely perfectly...and that is my primary concern at this point. If, after several wearings and washings they wind up stretching or sagging at all, they will be a bit too loose for my taste - and that's why I promise to come back and report what happens after a period of use. In fact, I'm going to order a size smaller even before I have the chance to fully evaluate these just in case - because even if they do sag or stretch a bit after some wear they are comfortable enough that I'd be willing to take a smaller size through a break-in period to get them in the long run to fit and feel the way they do right now. Of course, there's still the issue of durability to address and I'll report on that as well. But for now, absolutely five stars for these underwear. They seem to be everything they promise to be and compared to pretty much everything else on the market the price point is outstanding!One last note - and this one is a bit of a spoiler. Even if these had been terrible underwear I would have given them four stars for one reason alone. They come with a double, easily removable tag on the waistband: one tag has the washing and care instructions. The other tag has the size and fabric composition...and this note at the top of the tag: "Tear it off along the line. Or give it to your mother. She knows how to do it." I love it - absolutely love it. This is my kind of company - one not only with a sense of humor, but a clear understanding of their target audience...men. And whether we will admit it or not, every guy alive knows deep down that when it comes to some things (and underwear is definitely one of those things) mom still knows best.UPDATE: Four months and many washings and wearings later these underwear still rate 5 stars. My second order, as promised, was for the mediums rather than the large and, while the difference is minimal, the mediums I think are a tiny bit more snug which is what I prefer - so my third order was for mediums - as will be all future orders. But it really is a very small difference - so much so that I couldn't tell you which size I'm wearing right now. They are holding up perfectly; no sag, no perceptible wear. Most comfortable underwear I have ever owned.

Very comfortable!!
I was pleasantly surprised at the first class tailoring in these David Archy underwear. These are not Walmart cheap underwear. These are not Fruit of the Loom or Hanes junk either. They are in a class all on their own. For the quality/price I don’t think they can be beaten. I purchased the 7 pack. All other brands I have ever bought half the pack would be cut and tailored differently. Not with these! After wearing all day you can’t tell one pair from another. The waist band is really nice, not too thick or thin and doesn’t roll up. This bamboo material (VERY SOFT!!) doesn’t stretch out of shape even after working all day they are every bit as comfortable as when you first put them on. They have held up great in the laundry after a month of use. I have already ordered a second 7 pack and am confident David Archy will be the ONLY brand of drawers I’ll be wearing from now on!!

Very comfortable and form fitting
This is a review of the David Archy brand Men's Briefs in the color Heather Gray. I was surprised by how well they fit, and actually very comfortable. The material is not as tight as a Hanes brief, but still holds everything in that needs to be supported. It took a couple of hours to get used to them, as the feel is a little different, but to be honest, most of the time I am not even aware I have them on. They just work. after you get over it being new and different, I find myself reaching for them over the other briefs I have as a choice. I even bought a second set to make sure I could span the full week. So if you want, try them out. They do feel different, but for me, I do not wake up feeling "pinched" I hope you have good results if you try them.

Very Comfortable Briefs
Such a simple design change has made a very big difference in comfort for me. The material is soft with just enough stretch to fit well and be supportive without either chafing or being too loose. So far all the versions of their briefs have worked well. No idea if they will retain their shape and stretch over time, but so far, I'm a fan!

Fit & Feel
I really like the fit and feel of these, and I hope the quality is there so they don't fall apart in the wash. One thing I'm sure of is that I won't be sending any photos or videos of the "fit & feel!" 😂
J**!
Works well for men seeking the most room possible
I have trouble finding a pouch that fits. Best I've settled on is Underarmour, but got tired of legs in summer and wanted to revisit briefs. First impression is that the pouch is a proper pouch. You could fit a medium sized orange in there without expanding the fabric. Fabric is very soft and stretchy. The pouch sheaths your stuff without much support, giving a commando sort of feeling, yet hygienically. XL fits 39" exactly the same as Underarmour.

Soft but inconsistent
Got the houndtooth pack of three. The solid black ones are the softest in the pack, then the houndtooth black, then the houndtooth blue. Honestly the blue ones feel like cotton and are a little rough. So beware diff patterns will have diff feels. The fabric content on them is all 95% rayon and 5% spandex.I like my undies with no fly so got these. I really hate that little elf hat on my balls that no matter how much you're packing I don't care you're going to have that little pointy fabric there. I hate that part. So that will prob make me continue my search for the perfect pair of briefs. It feels like it's a cater and it's really not. It's annoying asf. And ruins the look. The seam should be horizontal there if going to make that extended area but I prefer to extend my own undies.

Quality- for men who like good underwear
This is my second purchase of these pants.I initially bought size 2XL as I usually do with underpants but these were far too big for my 42 waist. However, I was so impressed with the general quality of them that I re-ordered size XL. These are still on the large side but I wear them- comfortable but a bit baggy.The material is soft and comfortable and a pleasure to wear, whilst the pouch is perfect.I think that size L will be a perfect fit and when funds are available I will try again as I am so impressed.Packaging was fine and the included delivery from the west of the USA was prompt.
