We brought you those super HOT mermen swim briefs last week from Mertailor. But that’s not all they have up their sleeve! When I was talking to them over the weekend they showed me the new Merman Armor Jock. I didn’t have the details but saw the pic and it looked HOT. Now that it’s on their site I see that I wasn’t let down at all. This pair is not cheap but it’s sexy AF!

I would consider this on the fetish side of the spectrum. The jock has a detachable codpiece that is molded to look like scales. It’s a unique 3-dimensional sculpted codpieceYes, it does look like Merman armor! This is a different twist on the Jock! The pouch is made out of silicone rubber made to keep its shape and fell great! The shading of gold and black make the scales look realistic. As we mentioned this codpiece is detachable and has snaps that keep it in place.

There will be 4 colors. But currently, the two colors available are black and red. Both are amazing colors. I hope that they release a blue in the line. The waistband on both pairs is a black soft and silky spandex covered elastic. this band works really well with the jock.

I’m glad to see some creativity in the world of underwear like this pair. I think Mertailor is one of the most creative new brands on the market. They have amazing prints in swimwear and are branching out to more jocks, thongs, and briefs. Now the price for this pair is $175.00. Yes, you heard us right. It’s expensive but to me, it’s a work of art! It’s available in Xtra-Small through Xtra-Large! Go check out this jock and also the swimwear, workout wear and more. And if you have a gf, check out their women’s line!

Mertailor is fast becoming one of my favorite swimwear brands. His designs that are inspired by mermaids and mermen are just amazing. It’s one of the most creative swim brands I have ever seen. The last collection was so much fun but they teased the new mermen pairs on Instagram. The print was AMAZING and I want this pair! Actually it’s two pairs.

The new collection features two Mermen swim briefs. It’s called TWO MERMEN ONE ANCHOR RIDER. Now don’t worry there is nothing you need to worry about. The front features a blue background and fish. The back features an illustration of two mermen on an anchor! It’s super hot to me. I don’t know if this is for everyone but it’s definitely for me. I find it super hot and the size of the brief is sexy to me. It’s not too small!

The other pair is the MERMAN WARRIOR RIDER. The front is a darker blue with swordfish and the back features a merman on a seahorse holding a spear. Looking like a warrior of the deep. I was super happy for the Two Mermen but having the Warrior rider makes this collection so much freaking fun!

Both of these designs were hand designed. You can tell that in the detail of both prints. One big bonus is the price. They really have decent priced swimwear. Both pairs are $45, which isn’t bad. Swimwear can cost upwards of $150 or more with some brands. Mertailor is really well made and I think you guys would really love to try them out. I don’t think you will be disappointed. There are more pairs in the collection and we will cover them all!

A brand I discovered on social media is Mertailor. He is a designer doing not only men’s and women’s swimwear. He also designs mermaid and mermen tails. The entire line he creates is super fun. I got a chance to talk to the Mertailor, Eric, for a talk about his brand.

I first saw your brand thanks to DW Chase, he posted a picture in one of your swim bikinis. For those of our readers who don’t know about you, tell us about your brand, how did you get started making swimwear?

A: Well, true story! I love Tail! Lol – Actually, when I was a young boy, I love mermaids, Mermen, and the underwater world. So much that I started a company that made functional, mermaid tails that you can swim in. In the process of this, growing up, discovering myself, I always wanted to take my talents and knowledge to the next level. I knew that I had to take my concepts and turn them into everyday attire. I figure the best was to do this was fashion. Why no swimwear, right? It’s fitting! Suits and tails for swimming! So, I created my first line of men’s swimwear, Mertailor Men. It’s been a fun adventure and it’s been far from easy. But, if it were easy, everyone could do it, right?

You initially started making mermaid tails, which are pretty cool! How did that transition into swimwear? 

A: My grandparents actually were the original source to thank for my ambitions today. My family and friends support it now. When I was a kid, they brought me to Weeki Wachee Springs to see the mermaid show. It was all glitz, glamour, and a total dream fantasy come true. At that point, I knew I had to do something so unique and unusual to fulfill my fancy. I chose to start making tails for myself, eventually, I was contracted at Weeki Wachee Springs to make my tails, then I started my company making tails, and it just grew from there. From working with spandex fabrics, making patterns, the ability to design and execute, it was an amazing transition.

You make swimwear for men, women, and kids. Did you start with one category or start with them all at once? 

I started with the men’s line. As a gay male, I initially wanted my own swimwear for myself and my male clients. Believe it or not, there’s a ton of men who wear tails! It’s amazing! Talk about self-expression. I realized that I had to have matching sets for women and kids. So, we started doing it all. However, my passion for swimwear is directed towards the men’s line. Without a doubt, we are a company that produces items for all genders.

The men’s swimwear is awesome. I love the bikinis and the sea themed prints. It’s like you turned the tails into swimwear! Why did you do the cuts (bikini, trunk, and compression)? 

Honestly, they are sexy and popular. But, I wanted to put a twist on the normal. I wanted to show my art to the world and bring awareness of the ocean in a different way than most designers would do.

Which style do your customers tend to buy the most? 

From what we have seen, our bikini briefs have been our top sellers.

One thing I thought of is, we have a good mix of readers gay and straight. It would be awesome for men and women to get matching print swimwear. Have you had customers comment that they are doing this? 

Oh yes! We have both genders purchase multiple matching items!

My personal favorite print is the Octopus Rock Gold Bomber Trunk! Super fun. How do you find your awesome prints? Do you design them or find them?

Well, I’m extremely artistic and we have a team of artists who share my crazy directions.

Your bio said you used to be a Merman, do you still swim? 

Oh yes, as much as I can. Lately not as much as I would appreciate. We act had an underwater studio put in to photograph our products underwater and poolside! This is my grotto 😉
