Jockey Big and Tall Men's Boxer Brief Underwear
Men's boxer briefs should fit both in length and around the waist. Guys who wear big and tall pants usually require big and tall underwear as well. Jockey offers big and tall boxer briefs in white, black, and a variety of other colors.
What makes boxer briefs different from other men's underwear?Boxer briefs are a hybrid of other underwear styles. Like briefs, they are cut close to the body. Like boxers, they are styled like shorts that extend partway down the length of the leg. Boxer briefs, which are often made of cotton, usually cover 1/2 to 1/3 of the thigh. Trunk-style pairs are slightly shorter. This brand labels longer pairs as Midway styles.
What sizes fall into the big and tall category?Big and tall sizes often begin at size 2X and go up from there. This brand offers big and tall cotton underwear in sizes 2X through 6X. See manufacturer site for details.
To find the correct size for your needs, measure around your waist. Position the tape measure at the natural waist. The tape measure should be close to the skin but not tight. Consult a size chart, such as the following chart for Jockey sizes to convert the inch measurement to a numbered size.
