Too funny. I am actually wearing a pair today (Elance grey with dark burgundy stripes). I still have a few striped pairs of them from over the years and they are some of my favorite underwear. I also have a white, beige and black pair. The whites are pretty transparent. A number of years ago a friend of mine was camping at a pretty quiet campground. He keeps his camper there every summer. We did a bit of a hike on a day that I stopped by. We got to this little pond and went in with just our underwear - in case anyone else was hiking the trail. I distinctly remember that I had the white pair on that day of all things. My buddy had a pair of low rise briefs on. We only stayed in the water for a few minutes just to cool off and stood for a bit to dry, since we didn't bring towels. These briefs are pretty clingy and see-through when wet, which I don't mind at all except for the fact that I'm a big leaker (pre-cum) and the tiniest drop comes right through. That's about my only complaint. Anyway, just a little throwback to these Jockey's.
