Hanes

Next one in the list of the best underwear brands for men is Hanes. There aren't many companies that can claim a century of experience in their area, let alone in knickers. But Hanes isn't just an ordinary brand. Hanes, which was founded in the early 1900s, has had the kind of long-term relevance that weaker brands struggle to match. Although the brand has subsequently grown into other categories—you may swear by their notoriously tagless T-shirts—underwear remains the empire's crown jewel. It's almost amusing that Hanes undies are often marketed in bulk, because they tend to survive long after you've had a craving for a new pack.

Hanes now sells every type of boxer, brief, and boxer brief imaginable in dozens of variations. Everything from high-tech synthetic athletic materials to the brand's foundational cotton is available. This is a classic brand that isn't going away anytime soon. Plus, as some of the most economical knickers on the market, a five-pack is still less expensive than single pairs from the prominent direct-to-consumer firms on our list. They are paired with FreshIQ odor-reducing technology and the new Total Support Pouch, which provides some of the characteristics of more modern brands without the high price tag.
