I either go cotton boxers from Mitch Dowd or bamboo from Boody, bit expensive but it's worth it to have happy junk.

It's a sad state of affairs when you've gotta pay more for something so basic just to be comfortable.

It really is. I try and mostly wear natural fabrics (for environmental and longevity reasons), and prices are insane for something as simple as socks.

Yeah. The socks I looked at were either thick thermal "I'm going to the snow" mf's or the work socks were as thin as dress socks. I ended up getting Darn Tough men's work socks but I know they won't last long.

I've been wearing $10/5pk bonds jocks for years that are fine.

That's what he wears. Some of the Bonds trunks and boxer shorts though are pathetic. Blokes are being gaslit into believing they don't need a gusset.
