I can't wait until Christmas, I need new underwear now.

I need undershirts/t-shirts, boxer briefs. The best, longest lasting, t-shirts I have are always print t-shirts from different events. I have a bunch of Roundtree & York and Jockey T-shirts and the collars get all stretched out and the pits start to get hard from deodorant.

Do any of you have a certain brands that you swear by? Quality undergarments that are cheap?

Well, Gap has ok undies for an ok price, not as expensive as other designer brands if thats what your lookig for.
I am all about Fruit of the Loom or hanes tagless for my man. they are not the most sturdy, but i think its best to buy new ones after a while anyways

I'm so glad to hear someone has the same ailments as me when it comes to undershirts. I thought I was the only one who noticed how bad undershirts look with stretched collars. Nothing looks better in an undershirt than a tight collar. I buy Polo t-shirts. They're expensive ($10 each), and usually come in a 2-pack ($20) or 3-pack ($30). And they never go on sale. When department stores have sales, the small print says Polo is excluded. But they have the highest quality I've found, and this is a big issue with me, and I've tried alot.

As for the crusty pits, that's inevitable. I'll spend a few minutes in my dresser digging through my t-shirts in the morning looking for clean pits. Someone once told me Fels Naptha soap will help that. I bought some, but never tried it.

I feel like I've bonded with someone who shares my tribulations with t-shirts. For boxers, I wear Polo flannel. Also, highest quality I've found. But I don't have an issue with crusty boxers. Yet. :)

Fruit of the Loom works for me - I don't see how you can distroy them :p I just bought a bunch of socks and undershirts from Old Navy.com - I just bought their yearly flag shirts that they were selling for 2.99 each - pretty high quality undershirts for me. They have nice ankle socks :)

I have a bunch of IZOD and Joe Boxer boxers from Sam's Club .. 3 pack for ~10 bux.

I also get a 6 pack of Hanes undershirts from Sam's .. it's a bit looser cut than the standard undershirt. I like them.

They all wear well for me.

For undershirts, Fruit of the Loom. Just buy a new pack every year or whenever they start getting old/faded/worn. I'm about to cycle out a few of them and buy another new pack. Seriously Red, at $6 for a pack of about 5, just toss em and get some new ones.

Underwear never seems to be an issue, but SOCKS.....damnit....SOCKS are always getting lost. How is anyone supposed to keep a matching pair of socks from being lost? Totally beyond me.

Although Tommy Hilfiger boxers cost more, they last a LOT longer than, say, Gap boxers which I also own. Don't buy the flannel-like ones. Go with the sorta linen-like ones.

Don't buy them at full price. Find yourself a TJ Max or a Ross. They're always there for $7 or $8. If you wanna shop higher end, then find them at a TH Outlet for like $12. I have a few that're certainly like four years old (that should probably be tossed).

Chicks dig 'em.

I'm sharing my underwear details on ATOT. My mother would faint.

I'm not a brand name kinda guy but I have to spread the word.

Tommy Hilfiger boxers.

They're like 12 bucks a piece but they last. I have pairs 5 years old and they still look new. I won't buy anything else now. They're just made that well.

I exclusively buy Ralph Lauren/Polo undershirts. They're more comfy and they tend to last a long time. I get them from Ross as they're much cheaper.
