Briefs are an 80’s favorite from Mervyns.

These rare gray FTLs dropped in an assorted color pack and would later inspire the flagship line pictured on the right in the late 90s! If I was the enthusiast that I am today, I would have definitely been the guy who would buy this pack just to get the whites out of the pack. From a manufacturer cost standpoint, I completely understand why these were rare to find even during their hay day versus the more economical flagship ones that were later released. They were the first ones where FTL started being lazy in my opinion by simply using ink instead of thread. God knows I wouldn’t have mind paying extra for packs of the gray ones exclusively when they were out!

I’d guess these date back to the ‘70s. Very comfy.
