Next up on my 15 new brands in 2015 was to review Jor. Up until joining UNB I had never heard of Jor. Over the past year I had seen many pictures and write ups for Jor and decided it was time to try this brand. I was given the Fractal brief in orange to review. The first thing I noticed about this pair was the color scheme and design. There are some great geometric shapes covering this pair while they use an amazing color palette that is unlike anything I already own. The orange and purple combinations are so eye popping this pair will definitely stand out. A great way to add color to your underwear drawer. The waistband features a bold JOR logo with a star on it. Simple, yet fun and classy look to it.
As I felt the pair I could tell the material was a little different than I had felt on other pairs I owned as well. It’s a mesh pair and a nylon/spandex combination. I was curious how that would feel all day as it wasn’t much cotton like as my other pairs typically are. As I am discovering, Jor thrives on being different. When I slipped them on, I was surprised at how nice the material felt against the body. Impressed actually. I wear a medium and the fit was great. I have seen other reviews mention that the pair seems to fit large. I can see where people may think this so I would suggest going lower if you are on the cusp of sizes. I am a 32″ waist and the medium fit me great. I would not go down to a small. That being said, the pair held up great during my basic busy work day. One of the things I always look for in a great pair of underwear is how often I have to adjust myself, whether in the front or in the back. With this pair, I maybe only had to adjust myself twice. It never rode up and I never felt like my packages was smashed. So this pair had enough room in the front pouch to allow everything to be comfortable and sit where it needs to sit without any fancy gimmicks of enhanced pouches. The
back covers the butt nicely and the material keeps great coverage throughout the day. Anytime you can wear a pair of underwear and not spend your day adjusting it is a winner in my book!
For my first Jor, I was quite pleased and impressed. I think the pair holds up great to everyday wear, offers a comfortable feel, and does a unique design to offer some variety to the classic underwear drawer.
