Thom-Evans_D.HEDRAL-SS13_01

Today’s Brief Distraction is from D.HEDRAL. This is part of their new swimwear line.

“The model is Ruby star Thom Evans. D.HEDRAL is a luxury men’s underwear brand that will also be launching beachwear (as pictured) in the Spring.

This is Thom’s first major campaign since he started modelling last year and comes almost exactly three years after his life changing injury playing rugby for Scotland.

We think he definitely gives David Beckham a run for his money!”

I first saw this a year ago in Vegas at the show and have been anxiously awaiting the release of this line.

Reasons the America Jock is our Underwear of the week:

  • Made in America

  • Multi color pattern that is available in 3 comibnations
  • Really nice waistband with the Baskit logo centered
  • Baskit Logo at the top of the leg straps.

Joe-Snyder-Underwear-01

Joe Snyder has been around for over 30 years. They are still going strong and we got to ask them a few questions about the history of the company, best seller and whats in store for the future! We hope you enjoy!

How did Joe Snyder get started in the men’s underwear industry? 

In 1958, Mr. Jesús Vargas Abín established in México “De Vargas”, a store where he sold shirts, trousers, suits, ties, underwear, accessories, etc. In 1977 Mr. José Vargas Snyder started working with his father. He continued offering the same products until his father died in 1977.
In those days men underwear covered men’s virility, failing the objective to support men’s virility. 
The customers were looking for sensual underwear; Mr. Vargas Snyder noticed people’s needs due his vast experience in men’s clothing. He produced the exclusive Exclhom (Exclusivo para hombre – Exclusive for men) design, a garment made of Polyamide Elastane, which perfectly fitted men’s anatomy. He manufactured and sold the product in his own store. The customers bought the underwear since the first day. Proving he was right.

Joe Snyder is known for their bright colors, how do you choose the colors? Is there a color you would like to do?

The colors are chosen because at Joe Snyder we like to make things differently and in an original way. Starting with the fabric used (80% polyamide – 20% Elastane) and by choosing bright and original colors that cannot be found in other brands. Our idea is to keep a fresh, modern, fun and versatile image.

We’ll certainly be bringing some exciting new colors and have already some in mind but we’d like to keep the mystery! We never want to stop surprising our customers

What has been your most popular style over the years? Also what has been the best selling color? joe_snyder_pride_frame_blue2

The best selling item is the Bikini 01, the first style ever made. The best selling color of that Bikini is in black.

Lace in men’s underwear has been popular; Joe Snyder was one of the first to include it, what made you use lace? 

Like previously mentioned, in Joe Snyder we like to do things differently and provide new options to our customers. To be honest with you, Mr Snyder had the idea to release a lace collection since about 15 years ago but thought that the market was not ready for that at that moment..untill recently.

The last release was the Pride Frame. I Love this line, how did the design come about? 

As we are always trying to make a difference, many samples and ideas where developed and shared amongst the Joe Snyder’s design team.

Also, we listened to our customers and after combining our ideas and the customer’s opinion; the result was the Pride Frame. The idea behind the name is literal… to put a frame around what a guy is most proud of!

Are there any plans to add more lines or colors soon? 

We are constantly in search of new ideas to create original designs and colors. In the 2nd trimester of 2013 we’ll bring a new collection that will be where classic meets sexy and functionality.

This week’s Underwear of the week, we decided to so something that is a classic. The 2(x)ist Essential Thong is one that has been a staple in the 2(x)ist catalog. This is one of the first thongs I ever bought. It also is a thong I will always have in my collection.

Several things make it the classic it is. The first is the Y back, which made it the first thong with the back. Second it was one of the first thongs made by a main stream company. In the late 80’s/early 90’s there were boxers, bikinis and briefs and the beginnings of Boxer Briefs. Then thongs for men came onto the market, and for a big company like 2(x)ist it was a big deal at the time. Before that to get a men’s thong you would have to order them out of the back of a magazine or catalog (No there was no real internet at the time).

Here are our reasons for making it underwear of the week

  • A classic in the world of men’s underwear
  • Has the Y-Back design that makes it disappear under clothes
  • Made out of 100% cotton
  • Available in black and white

You can get this thong on the 2(x)ist website for $14.00

male-power-cobra-schoolFirst, the discount code. Between now and Wednesday, January 23rd, use discount code “jockingit” for 10% off your order at Jockstrap Central.

Secondly, just arrived: Male Power is showing their two sides with this latest launch. You’ve got the serious and sexy Black Cobra Jock but on the flip side, you’ve got the mesh plaid School Boy Jocks for a bit of sexy fun. Here’s the details:

BLACK COBRA JOCK

On a hot date? Be sure you’re wearing something seriously sexy like the Black Cobra Jock so when you’re ready to shed your skin, you’re sure to impress.

Leave it to Male Power to find a lush soft fabric that resembles black snake skin on the outside yet is even softer on the inside. Typical for Male Power, the pouch is not only stretchy but with ample room for those who need a little bit more.

SCHOOL BOY JOCK

Another sharp jockstrap from Male Power with a subtle but sexy twist. It’s a pouch with a sexy plaid fabric, a throwback to your private school days. Of course this is Male Power, so the plaid fabric is actually see-through but because of the pattern, it’s subtly sheer but will certainly inspire a closer inspection – always a good thing.

Unlike the Cobra Jock above, this pouch doesn’t have a lot of stretch, but as with most Male Power pouches, this one is contoured and roomy so can handle most guy’s goods.

Be sure to check out Jockstrap Central‘s models Adam Stray and newcomer Amon in the new Male Power gear and use the discount code above to pick up a few jocks for yourself
