As for the briefs -- I don't think the waist band is too WIDE (vertical dimension), in fact it could be slightly wider, but it did originally seem too thick . Maybe SLIGHTLY lower on the hip, but they are pretty close to realistic in that respect. Primarily, they should be a little higher at the bottom end and better match the position of the crease where the leg bends against the hip and the crotch. Also, they seem a little looser that most guys seem to wear them, except for Brad Pitt in that film about an out of it guitar player. But overall, great!! much needed. Good fit on the pants. I would use them as the older and tigher jeans, myself. In this case it would be a little bit better to have the waist slightly lower the front or slightly higher in the back, and a couple of more belt loops, and larger pockets, some option to narrow the bottoms of the legs.
