I have always worn FTL briefs. They are a staple in my underwear drawer. I grew up wearing them as did my father. Even in recent years I've bought a vintage package on eBay made the year I was born. So, yes I've got briefs as old as I am. Never quite understood the term tightly whities, yeah they fit snug like a glove but I wouldn't call them tight exactly. Briefs should be essential for every man and boy. It's basically a bra for your manhood. I hate boxers and commando, I keep it stationary. It's a bit unpleasant when your bat swings around and nails you in the balls.
