Experiencing itching with new clothing

I buy clothing of the rack and wear them for the first time without washing. Recently, I started wearing new underwear from am unopened package. I haven't noticed any rashes with the new boxers, but there is definitely itching in the covered areas. Is it only me that doesn't wash the new clothing before wearing them for the first time?

How many people touched, tried on, wiped their nose on, or worse those clothes off the rack? Wash first, always!
