Let me start by saying, these briefs are a solid investment for anyone looking for a blend of comfort and luxury. The 100% cotton fabric feels incredibly soft against the skin, making them perfect for all-day wear.

The fit is where these briefs truly shine. Compared to other brands like Calvin Klein, the sizing runs slightly smaller, which is great for those who prefer a snugger fit. However, if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, I'd recommend sizing up.

One of my favorite features is the classic Emporio Armani logo waistband. It adds a touch of sophistication without being overly flashy. The stitching is impeccable—no loose threads or fraying even after multiple washes.

Now, let’s talk about the waistband. Some users mentioned it feels tight initially, but in my experience, it loosens up nicely after the first wash. Just avoid high-heat drying to maintain elasticity.

Durability? These briefs hold up remarkably well. Even after nine months of regular use, they still look and feel new. The color stays vibrant, and the fabric retains its softness—no pilling or fading here.

However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. The waistband is thinner compared to older versions sold in stores like Macy’s, which might disappoint some long-time fans. Also, the fabric is slightly thinner than expected but still offers decent coverage.

In summary: If you want affordable luxury with a perfect fit (especially for slimmer builds), these are a fantastic choice. Just remember to size up if you prefer more room or have a larger waistline.
