These look better (in my opinion) as long johns, but I do love a good no show brief – and lets face it, you can’t wear long johns year round…at least not in NYC. I was really attracted to the tartan pattern on the waistband of these briefs, so I bought them to try. Other than the fun waistband, they are just a pair of basic, comfortable no show briefs – which should be a par of everyone’s collection.
