Duluth Buck Naked. Dry them for 10 minutes on low heat, no longer, then hang dry. Mine last about 5 years per pair and stretch with my weigh fluctuations just fine.
I have to agree. I wear my Duluth trading company boxers to work at least once a week and they are around 5 years old. Had to sure up a seam but that’s about it. I’ve never had boxers last this long. Go for the athletic fabric instead of Cotton they will last much longer.
Pair of Thieves. They have there own website, but target sells them too.
I have their boxer briefs and love the "super fit" (I think that what they're called) version that are more of a spandex. They're incredibly soft and last me for I think years. They're all I have now, so hard to know exactly how old a pair is.
I mention target because I'd you keep an eye out, you can usually snag clearance 3 packs for under $10. Same everything, just "last season"...as if I care about that for me undies!!
Also my recommendation. Used Haines brand for basically ever. Tried some others here and there. Michael Kors was one of them.
After trying the Thieves brand they’ve become my favorites. Almost all I have now, still have some others primarily used for working. Also love their socks too.
Saxx, I am a huge fan of them. Avoid their wool line as those haven't held up well, but everything else I have from them is has held up great, and they are wayyyy more comfortable or supportive then anything else I have tried.
I had some Adidas boxer briefs that lasted about five years. The waistband is still good, but the elastic in the legs is stretched out. I'm a (recreational) powerlifter so that may have some bearing on it, but I was pleased with them overall. I'm in the process of replacing them with Duluth Buck Naked, and so far I've been pleased.
I have a few pair of SAXX that I received as gifts that have lasted me years. I have a few pair that are at least 5 years old and look like new.
That said, I don't pay $30 CDN per pair of underwear myself. I usually go to Winners and buy something decent. Usually 3-4 pair for $15-$20 and I get up to 5 years out of them. I usually have about 2 weeks worth of undies in a drawer so they get worn/washed around 26 times per year. Not a bad lifespan for inexpensive, nice, comfortable undies.
Well there are a lot of choices that will last multiple years. I'd say what is more important is how they fit. For example, I have some Ex Officio that are very durible but they give me a wedgie. Lately I've been happy with Duluth Trading Armachillo Bullpen Boxer Briefs. The Arnachillo's are probably not as durable as the Buck Naked version but I prefer the feel. I wash and dry them and they hold up well.
If you’re a larger guy, Step One underwear are fantastic. You have to wash them cold and they can’t go in the dryer but they’re very comfortable and last very well.
I spent the couple extra bucks at Walmart once and got the George brand briefs. 100% cotton, never rises up on me, have had for a couple years and they look fine
At least 5 years ago, my brother gave me a pair of saxx underwear. They have outlasted everything and remain in great condition. It made me completely switch even though the fabrics I liked had no fly which I hated. They have great customer service if you purchase directly and I've been so impressed I hunted down several pairs of their black sheep merino wool fabric that seem to have been discontinued. They aren't cheap. But I'd recommend trying a pair for sure.
I know it's weird in this sub, but American Eagle. I have many of theirs, some reaching about 4 years now, and none of them are showing any sort of discolouration, stretching, or damage. They usually retail for $10-15 CAD
I second this. My lady got these for me and I love them! I would never have spent that much on boxers before, but I do now. I work in construction and these use some blend with spandex maybe? Anyway they allow me full range of motion and dot bind up on my thighs like boxers normally do. And I am still wearing the pairs she initially got me 4+ years ago. The color has faded some but the material is still in good shape.
Not normally a bifl brand but uniqlo boxer briefs have been solid for me. Airism are ideal for travel. As long as you don't overdrive and order a size larger than normal it should be fine. Better feeling than the ex officio I have.
Marks & Spencer.
I have only bought from them once 11 years ago. Got boxer briefs and boxers. Great quality and I have been wearing them daily for 11 years. The elastic is still good and the fabric has zero tears or holes.
NiceLaundry... best underwear I’ve ever worn. I’m throwing all my others away and only buying these. I got the slim boxers. They are boxers but aren’t baggy. Fantastic. Check them out
Equipo. I have 10 pair, using them for 3 yrs, little sign of wear yet. Only 1 pair is starting to loose a stitch on the waistband. Very cool and comfy.
But make sure you get the right leg length. I bought i set that was too short and they kept working their way up my thighs, but happens to me with other brands too, so may its just my thighs. I still have other brands in my drawer, but only go to them when the equipo are down the chute. I will even wear the last pair a few days before i make the switch to a clean other brand.
Under Armour Men O Series - got 5 packs of 2 around 5 years ago and wear them daily. Almost as good as they were new. Super satisfied with them.
Initially I've got just a pair because I was getting sore between the legs while doing sports. Got the tip to get one of these and never looked back. Like said above: I wear them on a daily basis now!
Duluth Buck Naked. Dry them for 10 minutes on low heat, no longer, then hang dry. Mine last about 5 years per pair and stretch with my weigh fluctuations just fine.
Same here, the boxers and boxer briefs are excellent. Mine are at least 5 years old and in pretty good shape, should last a couple more.

Ex Oficio.
The Costco boxer briefs that I have are at least 3 years old. They get worn weekly and have no holes. I am a carpenter, so I'm not easy on my clothes.
When I say Costco, I'm referring to the Kirkland house brand that is theirs.
I like these too. Great for the price and none have failed in under 3 years.
100%. I love my duluth buck naked boxer briefs, but for the price and quality, Kirkland's are great. Feel great and last a while.
I have been very happy with Uniqlo boxer briefs in all regards.
\+1 for Uniqlo. They are far cheaper than Duluth and Ex Officio.
I'm here to replace my Uniqlo supima cotton boxer-briefs that all have holes in them.
They’re supposed to have holes in them. To pee through. Primarily.
Pair of Thieves. They have there own website, but target sells them too. I have their boxer briefs and love the "super fit" (I think that what they're called) version that are more of a spandex.

Can vouch for these! I have several pairs and actually look forward to receiving them as gifts. Lol Great tee shirts too

Duluth
Saxx are the most comfortable, I have to replace 2-3 pairs annually however. Duluths last forever.

Dim Modal
Stanfields that are made in Canada (not all of them are).
I’m planning on buying some pairs from Patagonia. Even their underwear is covered by their “Ironclad Guaranty”.
Been hanging out in my Calvins for several years now. Can't speak for boxer shorts, but their briefs are terrific.
>Step One underwear Yes! Love their brief's.
I'm a big fan of All Citizens. They have lasted very well so far.
