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.

It feels incredibly soft against the skin and keeps you dry throughout the day.Comfortable Fit: The briefs feature a snug yet non-restrictive fit, ensuring that they stay in place without digging into your skin. They are designed to be lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.Supportive Pouch: David Archy has incorporated a contoured pouch design that provides excellent support and separation. This feature adds to the overall comfort and is particularly appreciated by many men.Breathable: Bamboo fabric is inherently breathable, making these briefs ideal for keeping you cool in hot weather or during physical activities. They allow for adequate air circulation, reducing the risk of discomfort.Durable: Despite their lightweight feel, these briefs are surprisingly durable and can withstand regular washing without losing their shape or softness.Cons:Size and Fit: Like all clothing, the fit can vary from person to person.

They also offer great value for money when purchased in multi-packs. However, for those seeking specific style features or more elaborate designs, there may be other brands that cater to those preferences.Conclusion:excellent choice for men who prioritize comfort, breathability, and support in their underwear.

What started out as a joke....
My husband is difficult to buy for, so when a gifting-giving occasion draws near, I'll ask for hints and tell him if he doesn't give me any, he's getting socks and underwear. A couple of years ago, I actually followed through on that threat at one point and bought him a 4-pack of David Archy underwear. What started as a joke turned into a serious thing. He absolutely loves these undies! They fit very comfortably, he likes the colors, and they launder beautifully. The original 4-pack still looks new. However, he needed more, so I opted for this larger 7-pack. Although the design is a little different than before, they still fit perfectly, are of high quality, and give an array of color options. As long as they're available and nothing changes radically, future purchases are guaranteed.

Wow, feels like I'm wearing nothing at all..
I normally wear boxer briefs, but wanted to surprise my girlfriend with something a bit skimpier (and not tighty whities). Gave these a try and wow, they feel airy while still supporting the boys.The waist band hasn't rolled on me yet (I'm a bit of a chunky fella) and they haven't stretched much, holding their shape which is a bonus for me.Only downside is having to wear a belt with jeans on because these are so smooth feeling that my jeans begin to slide down quite easily.Overall I'd say get some. They feel great.

What happened?????
I originally purchased these several years ago and they've been the most comfortable underwear I've ever bought and they held up incredibly well. I finally after 4 years had a seam start to separate at the waistband. I came right back to reorder but..... Even though I went to my original order and selected buy again, These are now totally different. The fit is wrong, the fabric is wrong. What happened to the awesome cotton blend with the "3D pouch" as they called it? Very disappointed that the original design is no longer available......sigh

OMG, the best men's underwear ever!
The elastic around the legs do not leave any gaps or openings and fit snug against the legs and groin. You will no longer have gaps or openings like you get with other name brands.The part of the underwear, between your boys and butt, is much higher than traditional underwear; thus, separating you boys from sagging down in that area. They sit well and secure in a nice pouch area of their own.At first glance you will think these underwear are way too small for your privates to fit in; however, they stretch like super soft spandex and form perfectly to your contour. The material is "super soft" and literally gives you the feeling that you are not wearing any underwear at all. You will "not" shift in these underwear no matter how active you are.At the same time you will not feel that you are being crushed or have any tightness. Like I said, it literally feels like you're not wearing anything at all!They look very expensive. The nicest looking underwear I have ever owned. I'm concerned about the thin material and how durable it will be overtime. Only time will tell.For years I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find underwear that fits well and I have never been happy until now! These underwear are perfect for larger men. Finally, years of searching for the best underwear has finally come to an end. If you find yourself in the same situation I have for my entire life then trust me, buy a pair and see for yourself.

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.
