I have a pair that's from my high school days. I'm 47 years old, so that makes the underwear about 30 years old. Can anyone top that?
The underwear is boys' size 20, but they still fit. They're a little threadbare, but that's an advantage on a hot summer day. I think I can get at least a few more years out of them. (Obviously, I don't wear this pair every day. I wear them mostly for dirty outside jobs.)
I'm a lifelong bachelor, so I don't have a wife to throw away my stuff that's old but still good. Married men are at a disadvantage here.
Finally a tip: save your worn out undies to clean your guns. They work great! Seriesly.
Only if you wear jock straps in lieu of underwear everyday. Please tell me you don't.
You changed every day?
This kind of vanity thread on FR has got to be a sign that the end is near.
Clearly, you are not married.
Why are you bringing me into this?
Sorry, no offense intended.
[roamer_1:]Depends on if they are still hanging from the rear-view mirror..
Alright... just wanted to catch this before anyone else did:
I am *not* talking about "Depends" hanging from the rear-view mirror.
I go commando . . .
wow...i only have one response...
ISSUES...
I think that was Hillary..
I was not going to post on this thread until....
I started the habit of darning the holes in my socks when I sailed on the great lakes right after high school. I have a few pair at 45+ years old.
Now to the underwear...
My father died 18 years ago and my mother unloaded some of his clothing on me. Deep in the box was a single pair of linen boxer shorts. I remember my father having them when I was about 10. with my having reached age 62, the shorts are 50+ years old. I have never worn them. That would be too weird. they are neatly folded and in the dresser with my underwear. I have not been able to throw them away.
No I'm not from Arkansas and the date wasn't a cousin or any other relative. :)
I do wonder if she could still fit into them though.
I've got a pair of boxers from basic training with my last 4 stenciled in them from 1978. I think they shrunk must be cheap cloth. :)
I think diapers from that era were not gender specific.
That is one thing you will never, ever, be able to shake off as long as you are on FR.
If that's what comes to mind when you think of underwear, God bless, gramps. ;)
Hehe.. My choice of underwear had changed drastically in 20 years. Boxers now. Nuthuggers in high school.
You’re really passionate about this aren’t you?

I wonder if the guy blowing his nose is using an old pair of shorts ?
True, but diapers and underwear are different things, IMO. Others may disagree.
Hey, I still wear 32x32 jeans. :))
Peace prize thread?
There must have been a 100 of them. That was the oddest day on FR in 10 years.
