3-Panel Designs
Three-panel boxer shorts are created using only three fabric panels. (1) the panel to the right of the fly area, (2) the panel to the left of the fly area and, lastly, (3) a rear panel that reaches to each outside leg seam (the seam that runs down the outside of each leg).
The benefits of a three-panel design are: (1) no rear seam that runs down the crack of your butt, or worse yet, seams that traverse each cheek (yikes!), (2) the construction has fewer seams to come apart, (3) the construction is roomier, and (4) transitioning from part to part is pristine since there are fewer parts to put together.
In total, there are only seven pieces involved in the construction of our three-panel boxer shorts: (1) the panel to the right of the fly area, (2) the panel to the left of the fly area, (3) a rear panel that reaches to each outside leg seam, (4) a superb waistband, (5) a fastener, (6) our company logo, and (7) care label. Oh yes, we use thread too!
Three-panel shorts may not please everyone, but all will admit that they are the most comfortable construction method for boxer design, and the durability of the design is phenomenal.
