088

Material: 94% Modal, 6% Spandex, which is incredibly soft and stretchy! Interestingly, it feels simultaneously breathable and fairly solid.
Aesthetic: I would call these long johns incredibly sleek! The fabric itself doesn’t give a reflective, synthetic look at all, but the single color for the entire pair on top of how form-fitting it is and how it doesn’t go all the way down to the ankle all together gives the look of fluidity and suaveness (and not leaving much to the imagination). The black waistband with the brand splayed across the front then gives just enough visual contrast to add a strong-looking edge to the pair.
Waistband: Fairly typical for a waistband; has a nice height to it and great elasticity. Sit low in general, and apparently particularly low on me! That crack in back isn’t supposed to be showing; I guess I’m just bigger than what was intended for this pair.
Pouch: It’s called “Max Bulge” for a reason! The pouch here is highly contoured, and is designed with the idea that you’ll be wearing a C-ring of some sort to help your junk come forward into the pouch. (If you order it from a professional provider, it’ll likely come with one of Mckillop’s elastic C-ring bands as well for this purpose.) And even without wearing a C-ring yourself, it’s still an incredibly comfy pouch that brings your forward and up a nice amount. I’ve noticed in the past that long johns have a bad track record of not doing a good job of supporting your junk; either the pouch isn’t designed that well to begin with, or it’s designed well but the support quickly is pulled away with wear (i.e. the bottom of the pouch drops down a bit as your legs move around). This pair has neither of those problems, so I really think that’s an accomplishment!
Backside: Nothing particularly special back here; has some shape to it, at least.
Legs: Really comfy in my opinion! If you’ve got big legs like me, the fabric will stretch a fair amount and may leave you with pressure lines on your legs at the end of the day, but it’s not something you notice a ton while wearing them. Of course, I love the length.
Other: If you look closely, you’ll see that the stitching of this pair strongly outlines the shape of a normal brief – to the point that it feels somewhat like wearing a brief with legs more than wearing a long john. This is particularly true because this mid-pair stitching is a bit less forgiving stretch-wise than the rest of the pair is! It’s the only part of the pair that feels a bit tight to me. In addition to how low the waistband sits on me, this reinforces the importance of getting the correct size for you when buying these!
Overall: 4.5/5 – the only reason these aren’t getting a 5 is because of how tight that brief-ish stitching is compared to the rest of the pair. If I was taking sizing issue into account, it would come down to a 4/5 or 3.5/5 too, but that’s not really a knock against the pair itself. For what it’s worth, while I’m selling this pair, I’m planning on buying another at the Large size in hopes of getting that better fit!
