I recently tore into an economy pack of CHEAP BVD cotton boxers, which have
quickly become my new favorite riding undies. The Target brand ones I've used
for years have a thicker, coarser cotton fabric, and require some break in,
which means I had only a few that were suitable for long rides.
Patrick,

looking for something a little more robust than the small replacement
parts, have a look at some of the parts at the VeloFred web sitehere's
