Today’s Brief Distraction is from 2wink. It’s their latest range called Walkabout modelled by Lee Stram.  Walkabout’s design was influenced by popular Aboriginal artist Peter Mulchay and it’s an Australian first whereby a Aboriginal artwork and an Australian manufacturer have come together to make men’s underwear.

Gregg Homme

Becoming the most outrageous and provocative underwear brand did not happen overnight and GREGG HOMME ‘s newest collection is another great chapter of their  ingenuity and creativity.  Forget about standards and norms: GREGG HOMME has rewritten the books all together.  “It is now time to give back to men the sexy underwear they have been craving for…” explains Eric Boisvert, president of GREGG HOMME.  “The men of today have stronger needs to seduce and they have the guts to express it: they are ready to move up one notch and it’s exactly where we are taking them.” continues Mr. Boisvert.

With collection names like SCANDAL, TEASE, STEAM and KINK (to name a few), it is no secrets that GREGG HOMME will succeed in a field that they master quite well: making men’s blood pressure go up (or it is their partner’s?).   The “piece de resistance” is irrefutably the XCESS collection: an astonishing ultra fine gauge microfiber (goodbye fabric, hello second skin!) with a brilliantly designed low cut front pouch enhanced with three light metal alloy X’s (yes, “XXX”). Making a statement was never made that easy.  And for the most impudent, the XCESS collection already gave birth to a bolder family member: the PIMP collection recreates a parallel “XXX” world where mesh and transparency work together to create a feast for the eyes.

Trims and details complete this most unique new collection: innovative zippers, straps, buckles and strategically placed transparencies bring the styling and design to unparalleled zeniths. GREGG HOMME surely delivers: it is now up to the men to take their fantasies up a notch and redefine pleasure within XCESS.

And for for fans,  this latest campaign introduces a Montreal rising star: the very masculine and sexy model Nick Gross.  By clicking on the pictures below, you can appreciate the collection (or Nick!) from closer.

BodyArt is just that.  It’s art for a man’s body, inspired by an intricate and colorful Japanese street gang tattoo that Baskit’s head designer spotted on an inked, head to toe gym-goer. After the two built a friendship, they co-designed a new take on the actual tattoo, ultimately creating a colorful artistic pattern that became a range of underwear  combining a personal story with the comfort, quality, and fit that Baskit is known for.  Made of 100% cotton and available as a jock, brief, sawed off brief (no waistband), a low-rise trunk or boxer brief.

 Low Profile With Maximum Frontal Support

 

This low-rise brief features Show-It Technology with a hidden “comfy cup” that gently lifts and provides excellent frontal support. This horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement. Show-It Technology provides the biggest natural enhancement of any underwear on the market. The underwear also features our proprietary super soft Ultra Slimming Elastic with extra stretch to reduce cinching and squeezing of your waist which reduces the appearance of love handles.

I’m all for trying new things—be it food, activities or in this case underwear—so I was extremely excited to hear that I was getting a g-string to review—something I have very little experience with (being that it’s outside my boxers and jocks world).  David and I opened our packages at the same time and we were less than enthused at the looks of our new arrivals. Both just seemed very bland.  Mine admittedly had a better shape to it than David’s and at least some semblance of style.  Maybe they’d be comfortable though?

I wasn’t so lucky.  The pouch is made from an 82% nylon 12% elastane blend which is normally a fantastic feeling fabric—very silky.  Unfortunately, it bunches and feels like it pinches the skin.  I wore it out to dinner and after returning home, found that the shape of the pouch had changed so that the sides were completely vertical and not covering everything that they should have been.  I’ve worn thongs before, and can quite enjoy the feeling of it riding up the crack, but this elastic band was very harsh and chafed, rather than feeling gentle up the back.

Available in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) at $9.95 from ABCunderwear.com it’s not a bad price, and the variety of colors is great but the comfort of the g-string and the lack of shape leave much to be desired.

Now at Jockstrap Central: While the fly of this jockstrap is fully functional, it’s really about the stunning lines the fly creates. With a solid cotton pouch edged with black and an exaggerated fly opening that exposes the underlying grey mesh material, this is one of the nicest looking jocks we’ve seen in a long time.

 

At only $15.00, you may think this jock may be lacking in the quality department, well you couldn’t be further off – this jock is superbly crafted with a soft cotton pouch and includes one of the plushest waistband elastics out there.

 

The Kyle Athletic Fly Front Jock not only makes a statement but is comfortable enough to be included in your everyday underwear drawer. Jockstrap Central has got the new jocks in three delicious flavors – red, white and blue.”

 

We are super excited to share this New Collection. Making its debut is the New Soccer Jock. Looks like a boxer brief in front and is a perfect fitting jock in the back.  Also available in the collection is the ClubHouse Super Low and the ClubHouse Athlete Jock. Timoteo worked with Models Joe Pace and Steven Dehler and produced some hot locker room images. Let me know what you think.

I also have a few more images of Steven Delher is Classic undies and some of the new Necklaces if you are interested let me know and I can try to pull them for you.
