Hello, On December 27th of last year, I purchased a pack of Hanes Men's briefs for $18.99. I believe these are the same; https://www.target.com/p/hanes-men-s-9pk-briefs-white/-/A-78326552?preselect=13408423#lnk=sametab That was six months ago. Out of the nine, I have so far had to throw out about six pair, because they developed holes in the buttocks area. I am VERY displeased with this lack of quality, as I have been buying this brand of underwear damn near all my life. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, I can hardly afford to buy underpants every six months, because the maker offers substandard merchandise. The pack, with California sales tax, came to over 20 dollars. I felt that you should be aware of this situation, as I no longer feel comfortable purchasing underwear of this brand. Regards, Richard Saeta
