LET’S GET PHYSICAL WITH AMERICAN JOCK! CLOTHES FOR THE FIT MINDED! We know a lot of you like singlets and work out wear. So check out some of the new fun designs from American Jock by Go Softwear
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.

Have you ever wanted to help an underwear company come up with new pairs? Then you need to check out Garcon Model new Kickstarter campaign. Right now they are allowing people to vote for their favorite designs and then the most popular will be made into underwear. I can’t remember any brand putting up and letting their customers pick what should be included in their next collection. I think this is an amazing thing for them to do. How many times do we wish we could get our favorite brand to listen to our opinion?
I know there are many times when I want to say, hey do this. Luckily having the blog I have done this occasionally. Brands listen but I’d like to think I have more power in the industry, but there are still pairs I want to see made! But, Garcon Model is giving you that power, make sure you vote and give money to make this happen. They have some amazing rewards.
Here is part of the write up on Kickstarter:
Why Do We Need Your Help?
Your support (and yes by support we mean your money in exchange for sheer awesomeness), will allow us to keep moving forward. The more money we collect, the more styles we can manufacture and the more choices we can offer YOU!
Please support at whatever level you’re comfortable with. We’ll pay you back with some really fantastic underwear, crafted for comfort with super-high quality materials you’re going to love.
We’ve priced our REWARDS to make sure we bring you great value. Our goal is to get our product in the most hands and also to bring you the underwear you really want.
As a start up, we’re not able to compete with $2-3 underwear the big brands get. BUT what we loose in competitive pricing, we earn in quality control and ensuring we deliver you the best product we’ve encountered in men’s underwear. And, believe us, we’ve tried them all!
Here is the breakdown of what Kickstarter money will be used for:
Our goal is to reach $10,000 to bring 20 new styles to life. So help us out by pre-ordering your underwear today. And share with your friends to help us reach our goal.
The important thing to remember with Kickstarter is that we need to reach our full funding goal or we get nothing.

We bring you one more shot from our UNB Holiday Guide! This is another shot of Mundo Unico. Featuring our incredible models. We hope you enjoy and picture shot by Ignacio Rivera Jr.
I have been talking to a few of our straight readers lately. Which I will say is pretty fun to do and I get a different perspective on underwear. I have found that gay or straight we both want to wear super comfy underwear and pairs that make us feel sexy. Wearing great underwear makes us more confident and it puts me in a way better mood. I slide on my favorite pair of Cocksox, Gregg Homme or N2N and I just feel better through out the day!
Being gay guys having our friends see us in our undies is not something that is out of the realm of possibilities. It happens and no matter what we wear we really don’t get much slack for wearing what we want. Because many of our friends wear underwear on the same level as we are, so it’s commonplace to see colors, smaller cuts and such.
On the flip side many of the guys that are straight I have talked too all say they don’t show their friends their underwear. Which I will say shocked me. They always respond if they see me in a thong, bikini or something skimpy I will get labeled as gay. I went WTF? Guys still do that crap? Underwear doesn’t make you gay, wearing comfortable underwear should be something all guys do.
We have one guy on the site, Jon, who is a college student and straight. To sum up his story (which he’s shared here on UNB), he basically said fuck it I’m going to wear what I want. Guys in the locker room commented but after a while he saw the sporting better underwear. This is what we need guys willing to take a stand and show other guys yeah I can wear amazing underwear and still be masculine.
It’s my opinion that the majority of guys think if you wear something outside of boxer you are somewhat less masculine. When I think it’s the total opposite. I think wearing what you feel best in and feeling confident is the most masculine thing you can do.
Just curious about straight guys out there do this or has experienced this? Even gay guys, have you had guys give you grief on your undies. I think UNB needs to lead the way to show all guys that underwear is not about orientation is about comfort. A straight guy can wear a thong, bikini or even a speedo!
Today’s Brief Distraction features Xtremen and Pikante underwear. This is Scott and Matt in a behind the scenes picture. We hope you have enjoyed the guide
BoiSkin Bodywear is the little company that could. I really love it when someone takes their passion and turns it into a business. Robert the owner/designer took his love of swimwear and underwear and started his own brand. As you have been on the blog they came on to the scene with swimwear and now have released their first pair of Underwear
The new pair they released is the Boiskin Bodywear JockBoi Boxer Brief – They say: The JOCKBOI™ boxer brief was designed with sporty style and extreme comfort in mind. Combining exacting cuts with a high quality light weight cotton fabric allows for maximum comfort and a “barely their” feel. Our elastic-less leg won’t dig into your thigh and the wide seamed pouch allows for a roomier fit with less compression. Our exclusive JOCKPOCKET™ is the perfect size for your phone, cash, cards, or condoms, when you’re on the go. 95% Cotton / 5% Lycra
They say it will be the best pair of underwear you ever wear! I think Robert knows underwear and this will be a great pair to get. Imagine if you had a true underwear lover who takes their passion and turns it into their own brand. How many times have we all thought of making our own line? Robert did that and is creating a great new line!
I say this every time I write about them, but I think we’ll see them around for a while. Check out the new boxer briefs . Find this and more at the BoiSkin Bodywear site

I haven’t bought much counterfeit underwear. However, this seems to be going among brands. Obviously is taking steps to fight counterfeiting. Here is how they are planning to do it
Obviously Apparel has always had a strong culture of innovation – always striving to bring you highly engineered products – it’s no surprise that our designs are some of the most copied in the industry.
But now Obviously is taking on a new challenge, and we invite every underwear lover, every store and every underwear brand to join us in the fight to stamp out cheap counterfeiting of genuine underwear products.
Counterfeit products use cheap imitation fabrics and elastics to bring a sub-standard product that does not meet any of Obviously’s stringent environmental, social and design criteria – a product you still pay top dollar for but receive a cheap imitation instead.
So how are we going to do it?
Starting early next year, every single Obviously product made in our factory that you buy will come with a unique anti-counterfeit code on it.
Our encryption technology will utilize advanced military grade encryption and has a guaranteed zero percent chance of duplication of codes between products.
To check if your product is original you simply visit www.obviously.com.au, punch in the code and your product will be verified as a genuine original within seconds.
It’s that easy. Perfect peace of mind.
If your product is identified as counterfeit you will be notified and you can ask your supplier why they are selling fake goods.
We encourage every underwear brand to follow our lead and stamp out counterfeiting for good, for the sake of our customers and the entire industry.
Whether you are a store, a customer or another brand, please feel free to contact Obviously for more information about this new system. Once implemented these anti-counterfeiting measures will be available for all others brands and stores to license from Obviously.
It’s official! The slang term “selfie” has officially become recognized by the Oxford English dictionary as a real word. Being that they are literally everywhere, it’s probably long overdue. Seriously, who hasn’t taken a selfie? Whether it’s a face shot sent to friends via Snapchat or striking a pose in your underwear, it may not be possible to go a day without seeing at least one selfie. If you were to visit Tumblr and simply randomly browse for two minutes, you would easily see at least 5 selfies. The internet lets anyone express him/herself instantly. It’s a beautiful thing.
Admission time: I love taking selfies, especially in my underwear. Some may ask why. Why would you want to share what many would consider to be a man’s most private article of clothing? The reason is two fold. First, I love underwear. I take pride in my undies and I am picky about what I wear under my pants. I don’t mind showing my undies to others as in the end, we are a community of underwear fans. I see nothing wrong with showing off and showing what I’m wearing on a given day.
The other reason I love taking selfies? There is an unexplainable thrill in striking a pose and showing off what you got covering your junk. The internet has the planet connected more than it has even been and we as a planet become closer each day. As a result, anyone can play model at any time in the comfort of their own homes. Each photo is a blank canvass and by simply pressing “submit” on a social media site, you can show the world what you got. I will personally use my selfies as self motivation within the gym as over time I can gauge my fitness results verses my goals.
I don’t actively seek praise from others that see my self pics. I see them as expression and each person is entitled to their own viewpoints. Now that you have heard my views regarding selfies, I encourage you to give underwear selfies a chance. We at UNB also have the Fan of the Month campaign to encourage all men to show their undies. Give it a shot. You really have nothing to lose.
Today’s Brief Distraction features Martin in Wood Underwear. This was taken at the UNB Holiday Shoot. Wood is a great company I have come to know over the last year. They have classic looks in great colors. The shirts are AMAZING. So check them out@
This past week we had some issues with Facebook not liking one of our posts. This wasn’t fun for me personally. So we have changed the rules of our up coming Fan of the Month. We are moving the voting off Facebook on to the blog. That means we can do a little more risque pics, we’re not going to show everything you have but we can have a bit more fun. We are going to take entries this week and then vote early next week to pick a fan of the Month!
Here are the updated rules:
