The boxer shorts features a covered elasticized waistband with a two button closure at the center of the waist, a fly front and hemmed leg openings with a three inch vent on the outer side of the leg. Color identification numbers of the samples include 37357-13, 37355-15 and 37356-15.

Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
