The stripe maritime trunks are comfortable & have a classy high end appearance imo, without breaking the bank. Good structure & material. Have only washed once (without recommended garment bag) & they appear fine (pic shown is after wash). These will getting a lot of use even for everyday wear. Have a few items from ST & these don't disappoint. ST does run a tad big so I would suggest going down a size. 5.7, 168 lbs normally wear 30-32 and small fits great.
