Jockstrap Central now has Andrew Christian! Here is what they wrote!

We have had our eye on Andrew Christian for quite a while and had full intentions of eventually bringing his jockstraps in, but due to the overwhelming request for them during our recent survey we made the call and they are now in stock.

We’ve launched with two of his hottest styles in two colors both featuring Andrew Christian’s Show-it boosting technology. Here’s some more info:

SUPER MESH JOCK: Andrew Christian takes their fantastic Show-it jockstrap and adds a sexy twist by making the pouch in a wide mesh. The leg openings are trimmed in contrast color piping for a classic male look. This masculine athletic mesh offers more than just a hint of provocative transparency and has a slight sheen to catch the light. One inch wide waistband and 7/8th of an inch leg straps are made of a super plush elastic with the Andrew Christian logo.

DRY N’ NAKED: This patented Moisture Wicking Jock from Andrew Christian features Dry Mesh which dries 4x faster than cotton, doesn’t discolor and virtually eliminates odors. This jockstrap also includes the Show-it double pouch technology with super soft elastic one inch waistband and 7/8th of an inch leg straps.

The retro gym short made by Andrew Christian will leave much to the imagination whether you are running, walking, or working out at the gym.  These are the equivalent to the traditional ‘daisy dukes’.  While these sporty shorts are made out of 100% fast dry moisture wicking polyester sports mesh, which provides a cool masculine look in my humble opinion, they are too short to be taken seriously.  Okay, I totally get the retro style that AC is trying to achieve but honestly, there’s a fine line between looking like a caricature from the movie Bruno and looking masculine.

My first tryout with this sassy pair included wearing the silver/black shorts while outdoors.  The cut is too tight, short, and honestly, look like girl shorts.  In an effort to remain fair and subjective, there are a few things I do like about this style.  First, the white drawstring is located inside the shorts…a real positive for me.  Traditionally drawstrings outside of some shorts are a bit bulky when tied and can be plain distracting at times.  Secondly, the black seam along the side and bottom of the shorts give them a nice contrasting and finished look.

This particular style of Andrew Christian retro shorts comes in light blue/burgundy, navy/kelly, black/gold, and silver/black.  You’ll find the small Andrew Christian woven red and white signature cross logo located in the front left of the shorts.

When I am in the gym, my workouts are serious, tough, and inventive.  I need active fitness wear that is comfortable, non-restrictive, and endurable.  I put Andrew Christians’ Varsity Laurel training shorts to the challenge.

As shown in the picture above, the fabric is sporty, classy, and the white outside trim is enhanced by creative black stitching.  The PHYS ED + 7 Varsity signature adds a unique style to the overall appearance of the training short.  The fit was loose and very comfortable.  I didn’t feel myself sliding when sitting on the exercise equipment.  The smooth jersey material, along with the cool feeling it creates, makes this training short a must for fitness enthusiasts.

Although I prefer an internal drawstring or none at all, the white external shoe lace look gives it an overall finished fitted appearance.  Likewise, the 2 ½ inch gathered waistband adds additional support around the hips. This particular style of Andrew Christian training short comes in white, silver, black, and navy.

Australian manufacturer, Boys and their Hardwear, continues to deliver on their eclectic and inventive style of briefs with their Pornstar brief.  These definitely are marketed to us guys who enjoy a little shock factor reaction when showing off a sporty brief.  As if the brand name wasn’t enough, they’ve created a brief that includes a stenciled filmstrip of hot, red lips across mid hip with the word, ‘Pornstar’ traveling across the top of the strip.

These meet the standard expectation of any traditional white brief as they are well constructed with a combination of fixed fabrics comprised of 90% organic cotton and 10% spandex.  Likewise, these are extremely comfortable and offer an open fly contour pouch for convenience and support.  I found the elastic waistband to be just the right width to provide the appropriate support and keep these in place.  The red colored trim really offers an extra pop and sizzle to these sexy whitie tighties.

While I’m not a huge fan of the traditional white brief, they do create the appropriate fantasy that we can all attest to in our pursuit of the perfect job.  If you’re looking for something a little different that offers the right balance of style, construction, and a surprised reaction, these are due serious consideration.

Whether wearing them around the house or working out at the gym, the mesh training shorts made by Andrew Christian are a great value.   Based on the quality of their construction, these shorts can be worn casually just about anywhere.   The added value of using mesh material ensures longer durability and a fade resistant look.

I wore the light blue/burgundy shorts and experienced free movement along with a smooth comfortable fit.  I prefer this style’s cut because it fits nicely around the legs and backside and doesn’t look baggy or sloppy.  This longer short is very attractive and masculine.  One specific feature I like about the shorts is the double stitched pockets on the front as opposed to the sides.  This pair will be a definite, regular addition to my workout wardrobe.

The contrast stitching and outlined pocket design adds a fashionable style to the overall appearance of the shorts.   As an additional touch, the Andrew Christian signature cross logo is placed on the lower front, right hand side of the shorts.  The burgundy drawstring waistband and stitching along the bottom compliments the overall color of the shorts.  In addition, a thin white stripe travels horizontally across the middle of the waistband adding symmetry and balance to the esthetic of the shorts.

This particular style of Andrew Christian mesh training short comes in gold/burgundy, light blue/burgundy, black/gold, and silver/black.
