The Take
Old Navy Boxers are not worth it. Slop Score 78.
They exist to move volume through overseas sweatshops with zero transparency, using polyester blends that pill, trap odor, and surrender elastic after a handful of washes. The one-time purchase feels cheap until the waistband rolls and snaps, exposing you to the exact problem the next pair was supposed to solve.
The Verdict
Skip Old Navy. Buy Duluth Trading Buck Naked for actual fabric that survives real life and skips the fast-fashion guilt.
Slop Score 78.
