Jockey Men's Underwear Men's Elance Poco Brief - 2 Pack

I was very disappointed to discover Jockey discontinued the Elance Poco mid briefs at the retail level. I've been buying this style since the early '80s when baseball player Jim Palmer was on the package. Was told by the retailer that Jockey's "Stay New" #8492 are the model that replaced the Elance Poco style. They fit okay, but I felt a little shrink wrapped in them. They are 95% cotton/5% spandex. The deal breaker was the dense stitching around the base of the waistband- it dug into my waist & was really apparent when wearing jeans. So happy to find out that Jockey resurrected the Elance Poco style & that they are available online. I've read comments about the fabric being thin, fitting small, causing itching & so on. I found they are the same for fit & comfort as they were before being discontinued. A smooth waistband & breathable 100% cotton, which I prefer. From the '80s to present, they always shrunk a little after washing, but fit comfortable. As for fabric, it is a little thinner compared to when they were made in the USA in the '80s to early '00s. After the US, I think the manufacturing switched to Mexico, then Jamaica & finally Honduras, where they were made for the final years before being discontinued & continue to be made there for the online versions. The online versions don't have tags, it's an embossed label on the back panel of the brief, showing the Jockey name, size & where they are made. They come in a wide variety of colours, which is really nice. Haven't seen these in red since the '80s! Seemed to be black, white & grey that were available at retail in the '00s & early '10s. The packaging isn't the matte plastic cases, like when they were sold in retail. Now, 2 briefs come in a plastic baggie to save on weight & extra bulk for shipping through the mail. I really hope Jockey don't discontinue these great brief because they are the only ones I have found that fit excellent & are so comfortable to wear..

Jockey is a brand you can count on. Husband likes the fit and fair price.

They work for me!

Comfortable and well made. Good price.

My husband has been wearing these for decades, so whenever I see them at a good price I order them for him. They wash well in warm water. They fit comfortably (or so he says). They last a long time. He likes some patterns/colors better than others, but that’s a matter of personal taste, not product quality. There are a lot of colors to choose from!

My husband has always ordered Jockey Poco briefs large size even if he wears clothes mostly medium size or even small occasionally. But this time the large is considerably too large. Comparing new ones to old ones, the new one are way too large.

They fit so comfortable

The package arrived with 2 pair of underwear, a solid colored one and a patterned one. The solid one fit alright although slightly small. The patterned one was a joke. If these were supposed to be XL, as marked, then someone has no idea about sizing. The size was waaaaaayy too small and the fabric stiff and unyielding. Basically meant to be used as a rag or just thrown away. Jockey *used* to produce great underwear. Well...not anymore, so it seems. Thankfully these were inexpensive. Oh, I forgot...you get cheap if you pay cheap. Won't make that mistake again, certainly not with Jockey, anyway!
