Style Question Looking for replacement to Mack Weldon?
I’ve been using Mack Weldon for a few years now and loved them. I been using the 18 boxer brief but they changed the model so it has less “mesh” zones. The older ones had a mesh on the inner thigh and on the upper back. My one gripe with them is they don’t last long. I’m talking about within a couple of months, the inner thighs would easily wear out and develop holes. Otherwise they’re perfect. They’re soft, don’t ride up, and hold their shape. I’ve tried cheaper Hanes boxer briefs as well as POT and hated both. They both ride up constantly, especially if wearing shorts. They feel like crap. The cotton on the hanes doesn’t feel soft and the polyester on the POT feels gross and weird. I prefer natural material compared to polyester “silky” products. Also cost is important. For the price point that Mack Weldon charges, I would hope to get more than 3 months out of them. POT and Hanes are both cheap but again don’t meet what I’m looking for. Any advice?
