This shows up on a plastic hanger, wrapped in a plastic bag. The packaging is not worth keeping. Well, maybe the hanger is. We kept our plastic hanger to use in the kids room. They break a lot of hangers, so the free plastic ones work good for them. Crquette included a tag that they pinned onto the waist band. The tag is pretty much worthless. It has a picture of a man wearing the boxers on the front, and the size and care pictures on the back. There is a tag sewn into the waist band, on the back side; that includes the wash instructions. So this external tag is not needed. The packaging is pretty minimal.

The care instructions on these are pretty easy also. Hand wash only and drip dry. Simple, right? For some of you, I am sure it is. But for those of us with small kids who have wondering eyes, it is a lot harder for us. I don't mind wand washing something, assuming it is not huge and bulky; but a pair of shorts like these are hard to hid when they are damp. I don't want the young kids seeing the naked characters on this. They don't need to see a bunk of naked cartoons on some clothing. Those parents who are tying to keep their kids innocent know what I am talking about.

We have only washed these a few times. The first time right after we received them, then after they were worn the first time. They still look new. But no telling how long they will continue to look and feel like new. The waist bands are the first things to go on my boxers, not sure why. I am not huge, 160 and 5' 10". But the waist bands always get stretched out and quit working. So we will see how long it takes for these to do the same.

The material is a mixture of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. It does not feel like a 100% cotton outfit, it is more stiff and rough feeling. These are not something I would want to wear all day at work, they would rub me the wrong way. I like my 100% cotton hanes boxer/briefs, they are comfortable and soft. These are not anywhere near the softness of my hanes. I will only be wearing these in the bedroom for the wife. THe material has a bit of stretch to it. Not much mind you, but they do stretch. The waist band has a cheap feel to it. It does not feel heavy duty like a good pair of hanes.

The craftsmanship is done pretty well on these. I could not find any loose threads or bad stitching. All the seams were in place and tight. The pattern seemed to be level with the waist band, and not cock-eyed like most cheap outfits. The only problem I saw was in the front where they have a panel sewn in between the legs (in the crotch area), the pattern of naked people do not line up with this panel. It is not a major flaw, but it is noticeable.

The fit is slightly hard to explain. These do not fit like boxer briefs, or straight boxers. It feels like a mixture of the two. They did not fit poorly, they just fit differently. I did not like the fact that there was not the typical crotch window or door in the front of the boxers. Not that I use them a lot, but they are there for a reason. Air conditioning I believe!

So like I stated above, I am about 160 pounds and 5' 10". I wear a lot of mediums when it comes to boxers and what not, and 32's when it comes to jeans. Coquette says that their medium should fit a 26 to 30 inch waist, and the large should fit a 30 to 32 inch waist. This has to be just for ladies lingerie sizes. Because the medium fit me perfectly, just like any other medium sized boxers do. So I am thinking that maybe an update to the sizing chart is in order.

Sp while these are cute, I wont be wearing them outside of the bedroom. The wife picked them out and wanted me to get a pair. I guess so I could match her set, not sure though on the thinking. I am in construction, and bend over a lot to where my boxers creep out of the top of my pants almost daily; so I wont be wearing these out for that reason, among others.

I don't feel these are worth the $19 they are selling for. I would be willing to pay about $10 for these. They just did not feel like a high end pair of boxers, which often cost less then $10 a pair. So they are a bit over priced. I know, you are paying for the naked people print, but still not worth the full asking price.

My wife loves these on me. I wear them at least one day on the weekends. They tend to turn her one a bit. These have held up very well to the cleanings. The waist band has not loosened up at all. I see these lasting me a year or longer. Overall they are a good value in my opinion.
