Frankly I HATE boxer shorts...I am of the generation that saw them as "grandpa pants"; I always LAUGH and roll my eyes when I hear young women describe them as 'sexy" (give me a BREAK!) But my "old man" (there's an expression you don't hear anymore) likes them so I made a few pairs for him with the Kwik Sew pattern. I wanted the Grande "back panel" type pattern but it was no longer available. (those French ones with the yoke are really something else!

Sorry, couldn't resist! Seriously, I have made a few pairs now from a Simplicity pattern, but just know there is a better more professional way to sew them, & from what I've seen of how you sew, if there's a better way, you'll know about it & will share the joy. I am thinking specifically of comparisons to the stalwart of UK underwear, M&S.

For anyone interested, First Choice Boxers is the name of the pattern and it's sized from a 24" waist to a 45" waist and has a middle panel on the seat.
