Finding underwear for the guy in our life can be a challenge. Each guy is different but having to find a great pouch for them can make it even harder. Speaking from experience there are a few brands I think you should look at that would make great gifts. I have come up with a list and one of our great readers added to this, Andy. It’s great to hear what undies guys love

Several of these are my personal favorites. Just the pouches in each one gives you amazing support. Nothing worse then having no support and having things not stay in place! Read below for our choices:

Jocks have been huge the last few years and they aren’t going anywhere! Each year more and more guys discover the joys of wearing a jock under a suit! If you haven’t tried it I highly suggest you do it. Nothing makes a suit more fun then a jock! I remember Bakit telling us that their Pink Jock, guys wrote in saying they loved wearing it under their suit.

Back in 2009/2010 was the biggest years for jocks. I wondered if it was going to be a fad but each year more and more brand do jocks. Not just ones for sports but for fashion now. We have pulled together a great mix of Jocks for you to get your guy to try for the first time or grow his collection. Read our selections below:

When it rains it pours! We have another Kickstarter for you guys. I think it’s super cool to pass along an opportunity for you guys to get involved. here is the press release for The Quaterly Underwear Club

The Quarterly Underwear Club has transformed mens underwear. Men choose their style, size, fabric and colour and then have their new underwear sent every three months- the NikeID of underwear delivered quarterly.

Mens underwear has seen little innovation in decades- dominated by designer brands and high street stores churning out the same old cotton underwear in tacky plastic packaging. Hamish Lawson, founder of DaDa Underwear believes that something worn more than any other item of clothing for the majority of a mans life, deserves some innovation.

“Compared to the innovation you see in sportswear and the variety of women’s lingerie, we felt that men’s underwear has just been left behind. The Quarterly Underwear Club turns an often forgotten chore into something fun allowing men to select the underwear that suits their lifestyle and receive it quarterly.”

Men can select the style, fabric, size and colours most suited to their lifestyle and have a pair delivered direct to their door every three months for $95 per year.

DaDa has spent over three years creating the most comfortable underwear available. After speaking with hundreds of men, they realised men needed more choice and more variety so started by working with various fabric manufacturers to develop the softest yet most functional fabrics available.

The Bamboo fabric is anti-bacterial, moisture wicking and temperature regulating with natural UV protection. The Seaweed fabric is also quick drying and also fights ‘free radicals’ on the skin as well as activating cell regeneration with remineralisation of the skin. The Coconut fabric uses coconut uses activated carbon from coconut shells to create a fabric that dries very quickly and helps maintain the body’s ideal core temperature of 37.5 degrees.

DaDa have developed nine different styles so men can choose what suits their lifestyle and taste- from a boxer for relaxing in the summer to a long-john for winter sports, the Quarterly Underwear Club has every man covered.

Each subscriber receives this card with their ‘unique code’ in December, which also makes it the ideal gift for any man. The card explains the Quarterly Underwear Club and allows them to choose their ideal underwear for the year ahead. What a great way to start the year.

Find more about them at the Quaterly Underwear Club Kickstarter and Quaterly Underwear Club site

We got a chance to interview Rufskin owner Douglas about the brand. We are really excited to bring you this interview. We know they are a favorite of many of you guys. Here’s more about Rufskin that you may or may not know. See some of the new collection pics below

Can you tell our readers about how you founded Rufskin? The company started in January of 2002 moonlighting with our full times jobs at the time and about a year later became our main focus. The name Rufskin was thought up from a popular childhood denim brand that I have fond memories of mixed with Hubert’s thoughts on the juijitz Brazilian term “casca grossa” or “rough skin” all tied together with the ram head logo that represents his horoscope sign, Aries.

How did you come up with the “vintage, sexy, masculine, athletic and futuristic” design principle? LOL…we realized that the words vintage and futuristic are sort of an oxy moron so let’s just say that we created the RUFSKIN brand to provide a range of clothing that didn’t exist at the time. Our objective was to bring some unique, yet comfortable styles to express a culture and a lifestyle. We often get inspired by a film or a destination we travel to or a sexy person and then incorporate them into our designs.

You create so many great styles hot and sexy styles, what is your inspiration for each collection? It really does depend on where we have visited or what passed through our lives at the time be it a particular movie, cinematic hero or the rugged American West, it really just depends.

Rufskin does Denim, Swimwear, Underwear and Active wear, which is most fun to design and which is the most challenging? Hubert Pouches being the head designer and my partner would most likely say that he puts the same amount of energy into a small bikini brief that he does a pair of denim jeans. It is all about the correct fit with us so technical design details are important. Getting a pair of denim pants to fit perfectly can be a challenge but in the end we make sure your rear looks perfect!

I have heard good things about the new swimwear line, when will it be out and what can we expect? The Rufskin 2014 Swimwear collection is slated to launch early in the New Year. The line is titled “Kaleidoscope”, and incorporates a mélange of styles from classic to daring, that will surely offer something for any style-minded, modern man. All the essential cuts, from bikini to board short are covered, while a multiplicity of colors, from elegant basics to flashy brights and bold prints keep the options wide open.

Your photography is always creative, with styling, models and props, where do the ideas come from for the shoot? People often ask us about our models and how we chose them? We have a very particular image that we try to capture with our models but they have to look approachable and reflect the focus of our concept. The same goes for our locations. We have concentrated recently in the State of California for locations, and much like our models there is a lot of diversity here that allows for lot of inspiration.

Retail stores have been in LA and NYC (I think that’s right), but saw you are opening a Miami store, what made you branch out to Miami? You forgot Amsterdam too. They opened their doors about a month after the NYC boutique in the spring of 2012. Miami is scheduled to open in early January 2014 and we feel that it meshes the best of beach culture and sculpted bodies in one colorful city. Rufskin is about looking and feeling good so we believe that it will reflect our clothing nicely.

What is in the future for Rufskin? The future? We are busy trying to get through 2013!! We don’t have any firm plans other than continuing to create well-designed sexy clothing for men.

Rufskin continues to manufacture their entire collection in California.

Welcome to a new feature here at UNB! We have teamed up with some of your favorite brands to give you an insight into their creative process. If you have ever asked “How did they create that line” or “what was the inspiration?” Well these posts will hopefully answer those questions! Today we have Jason Scarlatti, the Vice President of Design at 2(X)ist tells us about how they created the  Pro Collection:

The creative direction for the PRO collection by 2(X)IST started by completely reversing our design process. 2(X)IST is known first for its superb fit and contoured pouches, coupled with quality fabrics and high fashion design details. Over the past few seasons, we were completely focused on creating a dynamic waistband design. This season, we tried something new and focused on streamlining the design of the overall garment instead, and in turn, we minimized the waistband completely by covering it and moving it to the interior of the garment.

Our core focus was all about fit, fabric and simplicity, which is what we’ve achieved with the PRO brief and PRO trunk that were engineered in design to be sleek and ergonomic. The collection’s design helped to focus on the fabric itself – a micro-fiber nylon and spandex blend that wick’s away sweat and keeps you cool and dry. The fabric also provides a superior hold to color, allowing us to design the collection in an array of colors and prints. My favorite is the neon color – it is completely bold and dynamic but simple at the same time.  I also love having the waistband on the inside, in pop-colors that complement the exterior.

I loved designing the collection but when I actually received the wear test samples, I really fell in love. It felt like nothing else we had created in the past.  It feels cool, smooth and light weight.  You will see an evolution of the PRO collection in the coming seasons with some really extraordinary colors and prints – so stay tuned.  In the meantime, you can purchase the PRO collection at www.2xist.com   and I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as we did creating it.

Envy Menswear is proud to announce the increased appeal of the luxury menswear’s “enhancement pocket,” available in select designs in the line. Created for the modern man who wants to accentuate his assets, Envy intimate wear comes with a contoured pouch in front to enhance and support the male anatomy.

“Enhancement pouches accentuate the male form, as well as provide a less constrictive feel,” says Envy Menswear Director of Global Sales & Operations Christian Savoie. “Our retail partners, and our customers specifically, are extremely pleased with how Envy fits. With the Enhancement Pocket, modern men everywhere can now look their very best, while feeling comfortable and confident.”

Male underwear with an enhancement pouch differs from traditional men’s underwear, in that it provides both room and structure for the male anatomy, rather than a flat front, which could interfere with the natural contours of the body. The ergonomic design supports the male anatomy in a natural way, while separating the package from the rest of the body. Though the initial appeal is visual, this separation also prevents sweating and sticking, which can also assist in boosting men’s confidence.

Envy styles featuring the enhancement pouch include the Logo Elastic, Low-Rise Thong; Logo Elastic, Low-Rise Trunk; and Low-Rise Thong; as well as many more.

Envy recently celebrated its first anniversary in the luxury men’s intimate wear market. Envy’s 204 SKUs are currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Scandinavia, Malta, and Russia, with new international partners finalizing their Envy partnership deals.

Envy encompasses most male styles and fits of underwear, including basic foundation pieces, everyday wear, sexy styles, and dancewear. Featuring hot, trendy clothes for the fashion-forward man, the Envy Menswear catalog includes logo elastic, mesh, fishnet, wet look, microfiber, sport, bling, core basics, and liquid metal fabrics. Envy fashions include thongs, bikinis, briefs, tanks, and trunks, as well as bareback athletic jocks and briefs.

In addition to basic colors – white, black, red – Envy also features edgy gunmetal and camo, as well as new colors like neon pink, neon blue, and neon green in time for summer. Many Envy items are also available with sequin embellishments.
