The target customer is 30 to 55 and a large share of the archive is older than that. What men over 40 write about is different: support, no chafe, a waistband that does not dig, a length that does not look juvenile, and pockets that zip. 23 reviews say their age outright and the group averages 4.87. The 5 inch in a muted colour and the 7 inch are the common picks.

Frequently asked questions

Are these too young looking?
Not in the 5 or 7 inch in black, navy, khaki or a faded print. The 3 inch and the fluro colours are a statement; choose accordingly.
Is the fit forgiving?
Elasticated back waist, drawstring, stretch shell. If you carry weight at the front, go by your actual waist measurement and lean to the larger size.
Will my wife approve?
This question is answered in the reviews more often than you would expect, and the answer is yes. Partners are mentioned in 339 reviews.
