OUR CLASSIC VS NORMAL UNDERWEAR TYPES
All underwear which has the name classic in it, falls under our open fly models. We will explain what a OPEN FLY is.
The simple answer is because it makes life easier in the restroom. Typically called a fly, it can have a button to keep it closed or it can be self-closing with only fabric. Think of it as going through-the-gate or over-the-fence. Both methods work, but it's a matter of personal preference.
The difficult answer is, because it provides reinforcement, breathability, and moisture-wicking functionalities.
Open Fly also has a retro vibe and look to it therefore the name classic.
Closed vs. Open Fly
Some men prefer no-fly underwear, finding that it fits better and offers more support. Others prefer the ventilation and convenience of open-fly underwear. You might also choose to keep a mix of options on hand - for instance, closed flys for during the day and open flys for sleeping.
