It's smart to have at least one pair of the classic, non-stretch cotton boxer shorts in your drawer, loose-fitting without the built-in support stretch jersey offers, but with more breathability than any other style (except commando, and just... no, OK?) This box of three pairs of Pringle Check and Plain 100% Cotton Woven Boxers are exactly what you need. Check is a timeless style and come in two flavours here, along with elegant plain black. Pringle have styled these boxers with a less traditional woven waistband with classic Pringle branding rather than the gathered waist that originals had. An open fly adds convenience and the longer, wider leg offers protection from rougher trouser fabrics like wool, tweed or selvedge denim.
