WE HAVE AUTHENTIC BIKE JOCKSTRAPS – LIMITED SIZES

If you thought the only way to get authentic Bike Jockstraps these days is to buy them used on Ebay you’d be wrong. We managed to get our hands on a a few that were kicking around the warehouse of Meyer, the distributor for Bike in Europe before Bike stopped producing their jockstraps.

Unfortunately, sizes and quantities are very limited. Here’s what we have: Bike #10 Jockstraps (Throwback Edition) in size small only. Bike #10 Performance Jockstrap in black but only in sizes xlarge and xxlarge. Bike #10 Performance Jockstrap in white but only in size xlarge.

If any of those happen to be your size, snag them now as they’re collectors items and they’re on sale.

Of course, if you’re not stuck on the name, we also have the next best thing to a Bike jock. We have Meyer Original Bike Jockstraps available as well. They’re the exact same Bike jocks you love just with the Meyer logo instead of Bike. They’re made in the same Bike factory with the same specs and using the same fabrics as the originals. They’re available in both #10 Jockstraps in white, black, scarlet, royal-blue and gold and also in the modern Performance Jocks in all the traditional colors.

JOCK NIGHT IN TORONTO AT FLASH ON CHURCH

Every Thursday is Jock Night in Toronto at Flash on Church Street – always the hottest night of the week. It’s sponsored by Jockstrap Central and hosted by drag queen extraordinaire Morgan James who keep the night flowing. You can also win jockstraps you can take right off the strippers.

Although Flash is a strip club and the performers do (eventually) get totally naked, the performers will be dressed up (or down depending how you view it) in our jockstraps and gear to begin with. In case you don’t know, we’ve discovered a lot of our models at Flash and some of them are still working there.

Great news for Toronto customers: If you’re from Toronto and you place an order with us you’ll get an option to pick up your order at Flash on Thursday evenings to avoid shipping charges. All Toronto orders will also receive a free pass to get into Flash during Thursday Jock Night (normally a $5 cover).

As mentioned, Flash is on Church Street, right in the heart of Toronto’s Gay Village. The address is: 463 Church Street, Toronto.

If you’re going to be there, be sure to say hi to Adrian and myself – we’re always at the table right across from the stage just below the DJ booth! Hope to see you there!


One of the most famous prints Teamm8 has created is back! The flamingos! They are back and on new undies. If you remember, they had this on swimwear a year or two ago, it was awesome then and even more awesome now!

The new Flamingo prints come in a brief and a Trunk (pictured above). This is what they say about the new flamingo prints:

Our infamous Flamingo is back! This time our ever popular iconic print adorns our brand new Flamingo Underwear. The colours you love, our best selling navy backdrop to the vibrant pink plus the sublime mint green will have you strutting and soaring.

My personal favorite is the sublime mint green over the navy. But that’s just my personal preference, to me it’s more tropical! Both styles have:

  • Quick dry 4-way stretch
  • Super soft hand feel
  • Low rise cut
  • Ample front pouch
  • Metallic waistband

Get both of these awesome pairs at the Teamm8 site!!

What made you jump from the office cube to make a men’s underwear line?

For many years I worked a typical corporate job where every minute was watched, and days were filled with seemingly endless meetings (why were there so many meetings?!). Although I loved a few of my coworkers, I was frustrated that I spent every waking minute working to achieve someone else’s dream whilst mine sat on the backburner. Those frustrations, mixed with a 2.5-hour commute (each way!), made me constantly daydream about starting my own company.

I had always been interested in underwear, and after a late-night chat with some friends about underwear, I made a joke about how my last name, Hunt, would look cool on a waistband. That conversation stayed in the back of my mind for over a year before I casually did some research to see if it was possible. That research made me even more excited about the possibility of creating an underwear company. So I set out to see if I could make a high-quality undergarment that could be offered to the consumer at an affordable price. Once I had a framework somewhat figured out, I decided to take the leap, quit my job, and start Hunt Underwear.

Before you started to make underwear, what did you look for in your underwear?

Before I started my brand, my underwear purchases revolved around the price, color, and fabric. Out of all of those, price usually took precedence. I always needed to stay within my budget, so basically, I wanted the best possible underwear at the lowest possible price — kind of the “champagne taste on a beer budget” mentality.

What inspired you to create this current collection?

This collection is what I’ve dubbed The Classic Collection. I wanted to make something classically sexy and sophisticated that wasn’t part of the fast fashion, super trendy world. It includes timeless pieces that buck trends and won’t go out of style. Think of it as a collection of elevated, luxurious basics.

What are the three important qualities your underwear line has?

Hunt Underwear focuses on comfortable/luxurious materials, affordability, and customer service. Materials are so important for an undergarment, and I handpicked everything for their softness, comfort level, and because they are high quality. This includes the elastic. I always hated when a rough elastic would rub my waist uncomfortably, so I made sure the elastic I use is incredibly comfortable.

I’ve also worked hard to offer this level of quality at a price people can actually afford. So many companies have a huge markup on inferior products, and I easily could be charging more for the high-quality underwear I’m producing. However, my customers deserve the best at an affordable price, so that’s what I aim to give them.

Since this business is currently a business of one (just me!), I give each customer extra attention and a personal connection to my brand. It’s important for me to spend time answering every email, comment on social media, or inquiry about my brand. I really strive to offer the best possible customer service. Think about it; when you contact any other brands, would you be able to talk directly to the owner? Most likely not.

We are always curious, but who is the HUNT underwear guy? Who do you see as your ideal customer?

My customers are guys who are starting to upgrade their underwear wardrobe because they take pride in what they put on their bodies. They’ve moved away from fast fashion and multipacks with rough, inferior fabrics. They value quality, comfort, and underwear that moves with them and retains its shape throughout the day. They know that they deserve to look and feel good no matter how much (or little) they are wearing.

You currently have navy and blue, which is smart to start your line with a few colors, but do you plan to introduce new colors in your next collection?

Absolutely. I purposefully started off with a limited product line because I didn’t want to bite off more than I could chew while I got my feet wet. However, I have plans to expand the current collection with additional colors and one or two additional styles. After those additions are added to The Classic Collection, I have a few other collections ready to go. These future collections pull inspiration from different decades and artistic viewpoints, all while staying true to the high level of comfort my customers deserve and expect.

Where can our readers find your store and on social media?

For anyone who is interested, my brand’s main social media is Instagram (@huntunderwear), although I also occasionally post on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. The awesome Hunt Underwear store can be found at https://www.huntunderwear.com/.


It’s Jockstrap Wednesday!! The day you are supposed to rock a jock and enjoy the day. If you don’t have a jock or are looking for a new jock, you are in luck. Sukrew just released two new jocks, the Picadilly (pictured above) & Richmond (Pictured below).

Here is what Sukrew says about the new jock:

With striking teal straps to match the vibrant branded waistband, the Piccadilly Jockstrap is a powerful addition to any underwear collection. 2cm elastic straps frame the open back while the low-rise front balances exposure with just enough coverage. Sensually soft and silky, while breathable, the polyamide-elastane fabric pouch fits perfectly around your package, shaping and lifting for a dramatically enhanced bulge and supportive feel.

Main Fabric: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane
Waistband & Straps: 22% Polyester, 63% Polyamide, 15% Elastane


You can get each jock for $18.84 or get both for $31.04 on the Sukrew site.

This year we have seen several big name singers pose in their undies. Shawn Mendes dropped trou for Calvin Klien. Now former boy band Liam Payne (of One Direction fame) did a shoot for Hugo Boss.

I think it’s great we are seeing entertainers doing underwear shoots for brands. It’s showing men’s underwear isn’t something we should shuffle off to the back pages of magazines. Although, Cosmopolitan’s headline was “Liam Payne just took part in a raunchy photo shoot.” WTF? How are these pics raunchy? The editor who came up with this needs to get out more and check out their own magazine.

What do you guys think of celebrities becoming underwear models?
