About the original
Hanes printed boxer briefs are mid-rise knit underwear made from an all-cotton or cotton-stretch blend jersey, with a covered elastic waistband, a tagless interior, and a closed fly; printed multipacks are a standard Hanes product shipped through every major US retailer. The brand was founded in 1901 by brothers Pleasant Henderson Hanes and John Wesley Hanes in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and became the largest manufacturer of men's underwear in the United States; it has operated as part of HanesBrands Inc. since the 2006 spin-off from Sara Lee. The FW22 Supreme version is a two-pair set in black or red with an overall paisley bandana print and a co-branded elastic waistband.
