On Having On the Wrong Trousers

Well not trousers really, boxer shorts.

Regular readers will know that I am very particular about my boxer shorts. I'm a bit prone to chaffing on my thighs so I tend to wear boxers designed for runners and so on, with lots of lycra and wicking properties.

The last batch I bought of the best boxers ever appear to have been the last batch made (I blame COVID / Brexit / EverGreen / Joe Wicks in approximately that order).

So I have been forced to experiment by which I mean buy random underpants on Amazon. I'm not going underwear shopping in person at the moment. Searched up stuff on Amazon, hit Buy Now a few times. Sat back and waited.

Several batches have arrived and I appear to have bought some very long boxers. I mean really really long. Down to my knees long, like knickerbockers. I look like a Georgian dandy, if Georgians had lyrca. So, like Adam Ant. On a bad day.

They seem fine in terms of longtitudinal fit and wicking and so on but they feel a bit strange.

At least they're not the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya............

Wandering by from the Friends' friends list--

These sound exactly like what I need. Do you have the brand name of these long undertrousers?
