Hmmm, I prefer the soft feeling of cotton boxers on my lower components. Seems that going commando in jeans or khaki's would be less comfortable with zippers and rougher material that could lead to chafing.

Robber Baron, with your money you should know that "good" underwear, not cheapo k-mart blue light special "tighty whities" actually feel really good to walk around in.

I have some CK silk knit boxer briefs (around $25 for ONE), and I would never go back to cheapo briefs they sell at Target, Wally-mart, etc.

I used to like a particular style of Tommy underwear.

They had a wide soft wasteband and were more bulbous around the areas that needed more room. I found them one day at Ross I bought about 3 packs of them. Now I can't find them to save my life. I bought some tightie whities, but I can't stand those after those Tommy droors. Though before I discovered the Tommys I used to wear white FOTL.

Now I wear Hanes boxers.

I wear underwear so my ass don't show.

Which I'll segue into this question.
What in the hell happened to cotton? I mean I used to buy a pair of jeans, and they stayed the size you bought regardless how long you owned them or wore them.

Jeans today(and I notice this with practically all brands) seems like I have to shimmy into the jeans and suck in my gut to get them on in the morning. But then find that by after lunch I'm walking around like I'm a rapper with one hand on my pants keeping them up less they fall off my ass. Which I actually once had happen while I was standing in a check out line at Publix, with my hands full.

But I also know with my cheapness what "good" savings not debt-based indentured peasantry slavery actually feels really good to live with.

I'm scum.

And 25 dollars for only ONE pair of underwear? I doubt it was even hand-made in Italy. Most likely made by nursing infants in India, Pakistan, China and Bangladesh paid in diapers to insure 2500% mark-up.

Yeah true, I'm still paying off my loan on the silk briefs I bought last year.

Not really the point I'm trying to make. Spending habits like these usually get carried out on all purchases and than add-up really quick.

But exactly what purpose does it serve for men?...

In your case it also may be useful as a sacrificial barrier to keep your britches clean:

Have a little empathy.

I'm too cheap to give anything to anyone including love, empathy and compassion.

I'm a white collar financial criminal scum. I don't give anything but I take everything I can get.

What happens if you miss a payment or two: will your briefs then be repossessed?

Well that happened 6 months ago actually, I missed my third payment of $3.42.

They sent me a letter saying that I was in default, and I got scared. Then I realized all the other guys who stopped paying on their silk briefs got to keep them even though they hadn't paid in 12 or even 18 months. So I decided I would stop paying, and it was the best financial decision I've ever made.

Only until the credit card you defaulted on dinged your credit report and you got laid off and can't even find work taking a shit on hamburgers in Mcdonald's because of your credit report.

Straw Man says

No but your ability find work as an indentured slave just so you can eat will.

Not wearing underwear for me has been the best decision financially for me. Not only do I save money not having to buy more but I can more quickly get undressed to fuck you worthless slaves in the ass financially.

Often times I just need to unzip my pants and my hotdog quickly comes to say to the peasant "Say hello to my little friend."

I heard it only really matters for 2-3 years. Then when I'm out of credit jail, I can get another loan for more silk briefs. I don't see the incentive to pay when I can just default on another loan so soon afterward.

And if I don't pay long enough, Obama will bail me out and buy them for me anyway.

You peasants really do have no class. All for silk boxers and other useless disposable crap?

I swindle gold, silver, real estate and hard precious resources of a country not worthless shit.

Obama won't bail you out. Your fellow slaves called "taxpayers" will. Eventually what will happen is that the rich upper class but NOT aristocracy class will be taxed so much they will either leave the country or become broke.

Than you can starve to death wearing silk boxers as not even food stamps will exist anymore.

Wearing underwear is a human right!

Underwear ownership is the American dream.

The ass cheeks?

Ceffer says

Have you thought of an underwear HELOC to finance more underwear?

I have actually HELOC'd my underwear so I could get more socks, and other accessories to match my underwear (color coordinate, etc).

I'm currently in negotiations to get the HELOC dismissed, or pay only 5% of what I actually owe. They will probably accept since it's more likely they won't get anything if my underwear get repossessed.

That being said, I may go back to borrowing underwear for a while. It's like half the cost of owning, and if anything happens to the underwear, it's up to the owner to fix it.

It sounds like you got your loan from the FUA, Federal Underwear Administration, othewise known as the "EFF YOU", congratulations! Backed up by the full faith and credit of the Federal Government.

Well I only had 3.5% of the actual price of the underwear, but they said they would just give me the rest at a good rate. Now I don't know if it was such a great deal.

With 2 billion of chindian billionaires still wearing loincloths the demand for Western underwear is practically unlimited. You'll double your investment by the end of 2014, I guarantee it.

Hmm. You think some Chindian billionaire is going to buy my used undies for 10x what I paid for it?

Okay. I'm all in.
