Timoteo has always designed fun and excellent swimwear/underwear. This year he has released several pairs of swim from the Vaux line. I knew once I saw the Vaux Playa Swim Brief. First, it was because of the design, and second is the print pictured above!

To me, this design is a classic swim brief design. It’s a little smaller, but that’s part of the fun. The print, on the other hand, is one of my favorites this year. I love bright, bold colors, and this one will stand out on the beach or pool. I am sure if you go to a pool party this year and wear this pair, you will get multiple guys asking where you got this pair.

All NEW Vaux Playa Crossover Swim Brief is made of high quality nylon/spandex fabric for a great fit in and out of the water. This crossover brief features a covered elastic drawstring waist with a Vaux logo heat transfer on left hip. Wear it as an underwear or as a swimwear

Timoteo brings sexy back! Timoteo’s Classic Reload men’s underwear features top-selling colors and a plush black and white 1 5/8-inch-wide waistband with stylish “Timoteo” lettering centered in front in an Old English font.

It includes a single ply, contoured front pouch with no fly and a solid color body.

Are you a fan of neoprene gear? One brand that makes some of the hottest neoprene is Cellblock 13. Timoteo’s fetish line has been doing some amazing things with this fabric. The lastest is the Gunner collection. There are a few new pairs in this collection but we are focusing on the Gunner Lace Up Jock Trunk.

Unleash your inner kink in these Gunner lace-up backless trunk.

When most brands outside of underwear make the claim “most comfortable” or “best ever” I always view it with skepticism. I”m not always sure they are the best. However, when Timoteo says this is the best you can believe it. 

One of the newest pairs to be released is the Hydro line. It comes in a brief, jock and boxer brief. Today we are just focusing on the brief.  The new line is made out of a high-quality athletic mesh fabric. This fabric is perfect for working out and being active. The pair is designed to provide a relaxed but close fit. Meaning it will fit you amazingin. 

The Hydro line comes in three colors. Blue, White and Red. They each one has a matching waistband and black sides/back. This design makes it totally pop. Mix in a little bit of while, that adds the finishing touch.

This brief sits low on the hips and is made from a light, soft and body-hugging blend of 95% Modal cotton and 5% spandex for a super comfortable fit.

It’s been a new year it’s time to get new underwear to work out in. If you made it past your New Years Resolution to work out and you’re still at it, congrats! You deserve to treat yourself. One great thing to treat yourself with is the Timoteo Areo Tech underwear line. It’s designed for working out and being active.

The Areo Tech line is made out of cooling mesh mixed with compression technology. Meaning you can have a serious workout and still stay cool. This could be at the gym, running, cross fit or anything else you can think of doing. You will also look amazing while doing it.

The line comes in a brief, jock brief, jock, legging and short. All of these are perfect to work out in. These are leggings that you could wear by themselves to the gym. I am seeing more and more guys wear what was once considered an undergarment as their work out gear. The same could be said for the short.

Work out in style with the three colors, Army, Blue or Red. Mix that with the color block design. Timoteo has done a great job with the new Areo Tech line! Like I said you need to check out this line for working out!

Are you looking for a great pair of underwear to work out in or wear at an active job? The updated Ultra Sports Brief from Timoteo is the pair for you. This pair is designed to give you the things you want out of a sports brief. Those properties are great stretch & recovery, quick dry and wicking properties. All much needed

The line is updated in colors. The current colors are sky blue, royal blue, and Army (green). The contrast colors Timoteo used really makes a great looking pair of underwear. The fabric is 90% Polyamide 10% Elastane making it perfect to accomplish all the properties above. It was made, as I said for working out. Nothing worse than underwear that doesn’t wick moisture during a workout. Top that with a waistband and it’s almost perfect.

Speaking of the waistband, it’s one of the more simple ones Timoteo has created. It has the Timoteo name on the front and a line that goes around the back and attaches to the other side of the name. It’s more of a classic band. I don’t think many will mind this band.

The design of the pair is where Timoteo shines. He really does a great job at creating a contrast. In each pair, the stitching is in a different contrasting color. My personal favorite is the sky blue with an orange contrasting stitching. It makes it pop. The Navy has a more subtle, with a baby blue color. All are great combinations!  Definitely worth checking out.

Lastly, is the pouch. The pouch is a contoured pouch with a center seam. This is a very functional pouch. It won’t have “enhancing” properties. It’s designed for sports and working out. So keep that in mind when shopping.

It’s Swimwear Sunday! These are winding down the closer we get to Labor Day. But till then we will profile some of the best swim on the market. The pair this Sunday is the Timoteo Lakeshore Geometric Brief.  The reason we chose this is the amazing print. Prints are huge in men’s underwear and swimwear. They bring something extra to the world of swimwear! Why do just solids when you can rock a print.

Timoteo is known for making amazing swimwear! This is the first pair we have profiled this season from Timoteo. Some of the features of Lakeshore brief:

  • Cool and refreshing new prints
  • Bikini cut, low rise
  • Drawstring waistband for adjustment and fit
  • Interior is fully lined with super soft and comfy material.
  • Seams on the sides and on the pouch for fit and comfort.
  • Timoteo flaglet logo on the left hip.

This pair is for the guy who wants to wear a bikini cut swim suit! Swim briefs come in many different sizes. While this is not super skimpy it’s def a smaller low rise cut. You will get some great exposure and tan lines with this pair. Also, you may get people come up asking you where you got this suit. It’s always a compliment to have someone ask where you got your gear!

Why should you wear the Lakeshore line? Well, it’s a lot of fun. The line has all prints and stripes. If you are a fan of solids this line isn’t for you. They are all the same cut but other super fun prints. Note too that you will need to review the size chart before you order. Timoteo sizes go to 36-inch waist.

Find this pair at the Timoteo website for $38.00. WHichi s not bad for a pair of swim. This would be great for a late summer pair or for a winter get away!

Are you a jockstrap fan? If you are Wednesday’s are all about you! Its the day social media and we here at UNB celebrate the jockstrap. One of the newest is the Timoteo Speedway jock. This jock is based on the best-selling Trainer Jock. Now it comes in the different colors and stripes of the Speedway collection.

The first thing you notice is the waistband. This band is new and with a 2 inch design. The colors in the band match the colors in the pair. It’s a really great touch. It shows the thought going into the design that there would be five different waistband colors.

The pouch has five stripes down the center. A dark solid center stripe. Followed by the shade lighter color on each side followed by another shade lighter outside of all three stripes. The trim matches the lightest color on the pouch. It’s a fun sporty design.

Made in 4 vibrant new color combinations. The colors are Blue, Green, Red and Orange. The red is the only one with a black pouch. The rest have white pouches. Made out of a high quality 72% Cotton 23% Polyester 5% Spandex blend. Making it perfect for any activity you have in mind! Meaning you can wear them to the gym, work or lounging around home.

The Speedway line also comes in a brief and slingshot jock. Each of them have the same colors and design. If you like one you may want to check out the entire line. To get this pair go to the Timoteo site. We will have more from Timoteo and Cellblock 13 very soon! They have some great pairs coming in the next few weeks!

We got the chance to interview photog Tom Cullis! You may know his work from Timoteo, DNA Magazine and more. He’s done a lot of great work in the world of men’s underwear so we were thrilled that he agreed to the interview!

I have seen your work for the last few years, how did you get into Photography?

I got into photography like most people, you take a few lucky shots, you get excited, you get addicted you discover that it has become your lifestyle. I had the good fortune to assist and co shoot with a number of remarkable professional photographers over the years as well as training in college. Aside from learning a great deal from school and assisting there is no substitute for shooting every day and making mistakes to become proficient and a skilled professional.

What is your inspiration for your photography?

My career as a private practice Physical Therapist working on professional level athletes and stage performing artists was my inspiration. The aesthetic beauty of the athlete and the theatrical excitement of a stage actor was all the inspiration I needed. Watching hours of rehearsals backstage and how the theater creates emotion with stage lighting inspired much of the creative lighting I use on my shoots. All of my best teachers in photography had the same common thread of advice. He who controls the light controls the image.

You have your own style in photography (very clean and bright), did it progress naturally or did you develop it over the years?

I think that all photographers progress and adapt with time and practice. For my personal work I prefer fantasy, themes and dramatic lighting to create a story within an image. My peers have frequently said that I am more of a storyteller than a photographer and I take that as a great compliment. When a client is requesting a product shoot I try to put a story into the shoot if possible to make it more interesting to the viewer. In the case of shooting underwear, there is a significant amount of money and time involved in launching a new line and it is critical the photographer puts the product in the spotlight. I know that some ads will go for a very artistic feel or heavy shadows or props but if you cant see the label, contrast stitching, shape of the pouch, unique waist band or correct color or texture of the fabric you have not provided vital information. Over the years I have photographed so many remarkable models for underwear and swim product shots. Fans of my work have the impression that an underwear shoot with a sexy model is an erotic adventure. In reality these poor guys are sweating it to keep things pulled together (breathing, flexing, relaxing the face, balancing on an uneven surface, keeping the junk in place and making it all look fun and effortless). The photographer is looking at exposure, wrinkles in the garment and the model, angles, light, expression, waist band placement, body language, hair, background, contrast). When it is all perfect you take the shot, change and do it all over again. I have much better suggestions for my fans if they want a job with an erotic experience for sure.

Over the last few years you have shot some really great pics for Timoteo, how did that relationship come about?

I have known Timoteo for many many years. He is first a dear friend and secondly a brilliant designer. As a secret that I
might share, Timoteo can whip out an outstanding wedding gown for his niece, or prom dress for his cousin with amazing skill. That in my opinion is true talent. Timoteo was my major influence and teacher in learning what a client needs when your are doing a product shot. I have enjoyed years of really fun projects with Timoteo as well as his journey through so many designs and colors. You can’t get that experience in a classroom.

It is also important for designers to use a variety of photographers to keep the line looking fresh, different and interesting. Too much of any one model or photographer is boring. I am a firm believer in variety and taking chances. As discussed earlier, a designer like Timoteo has to make sure that every new model and photographer he works with understands his style and produces a shot that sells and is not below the high standard he has established.

Are we going to see more pictures from this relationship soon?

I always get excited when Timoteo sneaks me a new sample (underwear, swim, fitness, jeans, shirts). I never know what color shape, size or concept is next. I place a high value in his trust in me to produce an image that he feels proud to post for his advertising campaigns. Remember designers frequently work insane hours to make this clothing line happen. A bad photo shoot is a big disappointment.

Do you have any favorite models you enjoy working with?

I have my favorite model list, which wild horses could not drag out of me for this interview. It would take a whole new interview to discuss the unusual, unexpected, didn’t see that coming, hilarious things that have happened on an underwear product shoot. I was personally responsible for many of the unexpected experiences due to my bad habit of flirting with the unknown, slippery wet things, public places and lack of respect for waves, wind and sun. Aside from that it was all good most of the time. I let my fans pick the favorite model for me.

What has been your favorite shoot you have done?

If I had to single out my favorite shoot it would be with one of a series of experiences with the never boring Ben Godfre and things always got worse if Timoteo was present because we are a very dangerous combination to put in one location. Ben attended college here in Newport and was available to shoot in between work and homework for test concepts. Water, wind, mud, sand, desert, ocean, domestic, international. Ben is not afraid of anything. Timoteo is just as bad and I can’t resist that opportunity. I will be releasing that not fit for prime time work in an upcoming book. I don’t know if it was our best commercial work but it was really fun! I regret we did not videotape those escapades.

Do you have any advice for up and coming photographers?

My advice for up coming photographers? Make sure you are passionate about doing this kind of work. You have to be willing to shoot the not fun stuff sometimes to pay for the fun times. Don’t get into a comfortable rut and shoot the same thing you have perfected, go places that will push you to grow. Be realistic about how to be a good businessman. It is fun to take pictures for a hobby but if you are going to do it as a business you need a plan for success. Research photographers in your spare time. Use to cell phone to record concepts in your day-to-day travels so they are already in your mind when you find that perfect model. Stay humble, appreciative and positive and you will never lack for work.
