I love the ritual boyshort underwear, so I thought I would give these a try. I only purchased one pair in the nickel color. They come up a little higher in the front and a little lower on the legs. Plus, the stitching on the sides is a little thicker. None of this I'm a fan of. To me this is a perfect example of when something isn't broken, don't try and fix it. This version is not an improvement. For my body frame at least. For reference, I am 5'6", 120 pounds and ordered the size small.
