Today’s Brief Distraction is one from Pistol Pete! It features the new line they just released and the incredible model Eric Tuner! We have a few more of these to share with you! Enjoy the pics
I have recently had the chance to wear Clever’s Cheeky Boxer. This is the first time that I have worn a pair of underwear made by Clever and upon opening the boxer which I received, I was very encouraged by what I found. My pair is black with red accents in size small. Along with this color combination, Clever also offers the boxer in either blue and white or yellow and green.
I have recently injured my right leg and as a result I have been bound to crutches. Because of this, the day I reviewed this boxer was spent primarily relaxing and lounging while elevating my leg, although I did do quite a bit of crutching to and from locations. Normally when I review a pair I try to do everything from running with other at home exercises to lounge and do everyday activities, but this time it simply wasn’t an option. Having said this, if I were to put this pair through the normal review test, I think it would have held up quite well. My reasoning behind this statement will be proved in the following paragraphs.
The boxer from Clever which I reviewed is a size small and this is certainly true. I am a rather skinny guy and normally there is still plenty of room to breathe in the average pair of underwear which is sized small. I really enjoy the way this pair conforms to my body. Personally, I enjoy that fits snugly or slightly snug to my body and this boxer, which I would honestly term as a trunk, certainly offers that to me. Each person is built differently though and as a result sizing can be tricky for most. Clever is a Colombian brand and as a result their sizes deviate slightly from American sizing. My advice to you if you are someone which is between sizes based on a given underwear brand, you should buy the larger size if you are to purchase this boxer.
Overall, I have many great things to say about this Cheeky boxer. First off, I love the name. It’s great and very true. This boxer sits square on the hips and is relatively square cut along the bottom in the front and progressively morphs into a brief along the sides and into the rear. It essentially is a brief from behind, hence the adjective cheeky. Even though the rear is slightly “cheeky”, this boxer never rode up during the day and retained it’s shape remarkably well. This boxer is constructed using a fabric blend consisting of 94% cotton and 6% spandex, making it not only breathable but also flexible. Enhancing both breathability and flexibility are the legs which are constructed with a mesh material.The colors and aesthetics of this boxer match it’s feel. While being mostly black, this boxer features a red waistband sporting the Clever name in white along with red mesh patches along the legs accented with grey piping. This color layout gives the boxer a very sporty look. It doesn’t have too many flaws, but moving forward I would like to see Clever make this boxer tagless and also take a bit more time at the factory making sure that all the excess thread along the seams are clipped. Both issues are minor and do not dampen my opinion of the boxer. Somewhere between a tight and tiny running short in appearance and minimal cut trunk/brief in function, this boxer is very masculine while also sexy and I really dig it.
It really is a shame that I did not have a chance to put this boxer through my favorite test, a long run. It is through this test where I learn most about a given pair of underwear. I am an avid runner and because of this I need my undies to perform at a very high level. Even though I didn’t get a chance to put this boxer through a full test, I don’t think it would have a problem passing with very high marks. This boxer has a really sporty look which should suit the tastes of a wide range of men, regardless of underwear consciousness. Having the opportunity to test drive this boxer was a privilege and I hope you have found it informative.
Pros:
- Great fabric blend with a great use of mesh on the legs.
- Retains shape throughout an entire day.
- “Cheeky” fit in the rear.
Cons:
- Abrasive underwear tag.
- Some stray unclipped stitching.
Ratings
- Daily Fit: 10
- Sizing: 8
- Construction/Materials: 9
- Styling: 9
- Daily Performance: 9
- Overall: 9.0 (A)
Clever furnished this boxer for review and can be found at their website.

If you are following us on Twitter you may have known we were talking about this pair. The pair we chose for underwear of the wee is the Quater Homme Bodywear Hipster. This is a very “back to basic” pair they have just released in a two pack.
Underwear of the week is a celebration of underwear. We think at times simplicity is a good thing. This pair is very simple in design, and available in white, grey and black. The waist and leg bands are in either red, grey or black which contrasts the body color nicely.
Reasons this pair is our Underwear of the week
- Has a Back to Basics design
- Simplify of the pair makes it super comfy
- Made out of staple colors white, black and grey
- Available in a 2 pack, so you get tow pairs rather then one.
You can find this at the Quater Homme site for around $26.50. You have a choice of two different color combinations; white/grey & Grey/red, and white/black and black/red.

PULSE SHEER WRESTLING SINGLETS ARE BACK (FOR NOW)
As most of you know, we launched these wrestling singlets back in April 2012 and completely sold out in 12 hours. It took another 4 months to get more in and in larger quantiles, and they sold out in just 3 hours. We reordered right away and were promised delivery in a few weeks. Well, six months later, just when we had finally given up on them, they arrived. Wrestling is pretty damn hot at it is, with all those hunky guys in skin tight singlets with their prominent bulges rolling around the ground with other wrestlers grabbing them “accidentally” in all the right spots. Well, Pulse has upped the ante making singlets in their signature soft 4-way stretch and totally see-through mesh showing off not only the bulge but what’s causing it. Oh, and don’t worry about that huge boner that’s sure to pop up from wearing this hot gear – Pulse’s 4 way stretch mesh can handle it. These wrestlers now come in six patriotic versions: USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany and Japan. Collect them all and invite your friends to your very own wrestling event, just be sure to send us the video! As mentioned above, these wrestlers are in high demand and based on previous sales they will be gone again within a day (or even hours). If you do want one but can’t get to the website fast enough, we will certainly reorder them but getting them again is not guaranteed so will will not be taking pre-orders. It’s first come first serve, it’s the best we can do. Be sure to check out Jockstrap Central for all the sizzling hot photos of our favorite porn star model Ryan Russell putting these wrestlers through their paces.

Today’s Brief Distraction is another great picture from Pistol Pete. They had one of our favorite models Eric Turner model for their new line. Both Pistol Pete and Eric are both fun and it’s a great match! We hope you enjoy
Pistol Pete has always had their own unique style. I have met with them the last few years and it’s always good to catch up with them and find out whats going on. This year they have a lot planned and kicked off the new collection with pics featuring model Eric Turner. What can you expect from them this year? Well here are the things you should look out for:
- Trying to do a variety of things to let someone express themselves, this will be done through the embellishment, colors and art work.
- They will be making own fabrics and prints for this collection.
- Create an expression of ones personality from the swim or underwear
- The nations jock will have multiple colors of the nation and a shield with the nation
- More erotic with rings and snaps as part of the embellishment
- Staying away form simple blacks and white, going with color pop and color blocking
- Some erotic fun stuff such as pattern meshes so when it lays it creates a pattern rather then mesh
- Incorporating sublimation printing and get creative. Also get creative in artwork and create paper that is printed on the fabric, it’s Unique and that pattern will be the same on every pair of underwear.
- There will a patriotic feel with the Nautical inspired pairs
- Big part is having a retro look to previous Pistol Pete
- Retro will include belts and buckles on the swim. Unique embellishments
- The new line will have tease factor with open windows on legs, butt, or front, revealing just enough skin to make it sexy and not vulgar
We hope you enjoy this preview and we will bring you more as the line is released completely! Find these and more at the Pistol Pete Website

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Clever. The new Clever collection is out and we brought it to you a few weeks ago. Check out some of the newts on the market now!
Going to Magic every year allows me to find new underwear brands. They are always great to talk to and find out how they got into business. One of those brands is Ken Wroy. They are based out of New York and have been in business this last year. They emailed me before the show and I got a chance to sit down and find out about the new collection. I was told this collection is done in the spirit of New York City.
The collection will feature:
- A reverse NYC print that looks great
- Jersey colors in grey/orange/blue
- Jazz man print that’s really fun
- Hounds tooth print
- Giraffe which is one of my favorite that they say women have picked for their men
- Orange pin wheel print that men pick for themselves
- Carnival print that is another great print
The goal of Ken Wroy is to make underwear a fashion accessory and be fashionable all the way, not just on the outside! They went on to say “Socks and Underwear are an outlet of expression” We couldn’t agree more. We love it when we see this level of passion from a new company.
Their new line will be out soon and they told us they are working on their very own app. Find them online at http://www.kenwroy.com . Lastly did you notice their name is an anagram of New York?
The mission here at UNB is to show that everyone should love and feel great in their underwear. No matter what sexual orientation, size, ethnicity or anything. Underwear should be fun and make you feel good. I know that kind of sounds silly to some but those of us who love underwear, and read this blog, just get that and really understand it.
A while back I was approached by FreshPair to write about how when I was laid off underwear was one thing I didn’t cut back on and it was one of the luxuries I allowed myself. I’m hoping they run it if not, it looks like they have taken the concept in a really cool new direction.
The Confidence Project is “Bare-all stories from people everywhere about life below the surface. Because, there’s nothing ordinary about underwear. “ They have up posts from both men and women and their stories about underwear. It’s one of the most creative ideas I have seen to bring underwear into the mainstream. I def will interview them about this soon. But I wanted to bring this to your attention.
Go check it out! You can also submit your own story. It’s just cool to see people not afraid to share their stories about underwear. You can find it at http://confidenceproject.freshpair.com/.
Note We didn’t post anything from the blog because you need to go visit the site and read the stories
Today’s Brief Distraction is a UNB Original from Magic. there is a new brand called Fit-IN2. They are based out of Columbia but the owner lives here in Atlanta. I met with them in Vegas and here in Atlanta. They are definitely a brand to watch. They are finalizing everything as we speak and we will let you know when they are available. The best pair they have is the denim pair that looks like denim but feels amazing!
