5283_grape_1Love Clever and don’t want to wait till February for a new collection? You are in luck they just dropped a new mini-collection this past week. They were sneaky in the release, I wasn’t aware it was in the works. The new collection features one thong, new boxer briefs and briefs. As you would expect they have the bright colors and prints you would expect from Clever Moda.

For a small collection, they did a good job in mixing solids, stripes, and prints. It’s more of an addition to the current collection than a totally new collection. One thing I really love about Clever is they create the same pairs in briefs and boxer briefs. Nothing worse than seeing a pair you wish they made in the other style.

All of these styles can be found at Clevermoda.us Clever Collection 2016-3 Page.

Here is the new collection:

modus-vivendi-underwear-fisherman-02Modus Vivendi has always had a really interesting design sense. They have always said they were influenced by their Greek Heritage. We wanted to ask them some questions about some of the more iconic lines they have released over the years.

Interview with Christos Bibitsos

Tell me something about how your Greek heritage has influenced your designs over the last few years?

The truth is that we are very much in touch with our ancient culture, as Greeks. That has been true since the company began. Ancient Greek culture prized the male body highly. You can see it in sculpture, ancient athleticism and Greek art. It’s one of the main guides in every project we do.

modus-vivendi-underwear-fisherman-03

Which of the many Modus Vivendi lines has been most memorable for you, most creative. ‘The Fisherman’, maybe?

There are many interesting designs, really. The most special, the most idiosyncratic? In our Original Collection, I think. But all our projects are all unique. That is what distinguishes us from other brands.

The photographic work seems styled to each collection. Is that a result of collaboration with the photographer on each individual campaign? Or do you allow the photographers freedom to achieve their own creative vision?

First of all, I think it’s wonderful that photographers across the globe have been inspired by our intentions and have given so much of their talent, taking each shoot in a definite direction, while still respecting the basic idea, the basic feel that inspired the design of the line. Every photographer needs his freedom, and this adds to the diversity of our campaigns to date.

mv-retro-greece-innkeeper-01

Of all the photoshoots, which has been your favourite?

Ah, every one is special, for its own reasons. One particular campaign that represented Modus Vivendi’s style especially well was the retrospective of traditional Greek occupations, ‘Retro Greece’. Winegrower, woodcutter, innkeeper, stable hand, those gave us some great images.

Which are some of the most memorable pieces of underwear from your collections. The leather jock with the chains for example… any others?

I’ve said it many times, but each item in a collection has its own story, an inspiration a moment. But if I had to mention one, the Sumo Brief, or maybe the Converter Boxer. They are so unique. They can be transformed, changed, and this is perhaps a unique aspect of Modus Vivendi.

mv-retro-greece-harvester

Some of the latest collections have a more mainstream design aesthetic. Are we going to see more designs that could be considered more ‘fashion’, like The Fisherman? 

Your favourite Fisherman is one of my favourites too. Sometimes a look like that can be the basis of an entire collection, as it was for the Leather Look collection. Modus Vivendi is a fashion forward brand and probably always will be. It’s about diversity, and its addressed to people who appreciate that, whether or not they’re on the same wavelength. Over time, our customers have become more insistent about our adding some more mainstream lines to our collections. This way we can address men’s everyday needs in quality underwear. First and foremost, we are a Greek brand. We manufacture exclusively in Greece, using predominantly Greek raw materials. We have some of the best cotton in the world here. If we use it well, we can create some of the best classic cotton underwear there is.

 

 

mv-transparent-line-conseptual-photos-withlogo-1With a new, super sexy line of dark mesh underwear, Modus Vivendi continues with its presentation of the many new lines for its fall/winter 2016-17 collection. The Transparent Line is a combination of strength and sensuality. Self-possessed and subtly erotic, the new briefs, boxers, tanks and tees come in three colourways of black, dark red or blue with black mesh panels. Jocks are presented in uniform colour with matching mesh waistbands. The designs sculpt the hips, buttocks and shoulders, carving strong lines that meet with concealing linings and pouches, an exercise in revelation and the balance of power.

The campaign for the line was created in Leicester, England. Talented photographer and fine artist Gavin Harrison was inspired by the moody impact of the line to build a Dark Circus themed photo shoot, with the ultra-masculine Matthew Blades and Perrie Hooper as his male protagonists. The studio was transformed into an eerie circus of mystery and atmosphere. Seductive and very masculine, the images showcase the daring new designs from Modus Vivendi at their best.

1423-affair

The new collection is out for Gregg Homme! This collection is pretty awesome. But, then again I think most of their collections are amazing. Over the next week or so our guys will be giving you our take on the Fall/Winter collection! The line I will be talking about is the Affair collection.

What is the Affair collection? Well according to Gregg Homme its “our newest retro look with contrast color binding at waist and leg opening to add more personality to your brief.” The contrasting waist and leg trim is a really cool touch.

The fabric is their famous six-way stretch fabric. Meaning, it will conform to you like a second skin. This is the most amazing fabric in underwear today. As you can tell by the pictures of the different pairs. It leaves little to the imagination but the fit is second to none.

The line comes in four different styles. The G-String, Boxer Briefs, Thong and Brief. The brief I would call a bikini. In fact all styles are super skimpy, which is a good thing. Each pair comes in Khaki, blue and black. Each with the matching and alternating trim.

I love this line. First, because it’s a skimpy line. The brief is my favorite in the entire collection. The cut and look is just what I want in a brief. Next, the fabric can’t be beat. It’s used in other lines and just fits and feels amazing. No matter the size in the front or back you the fabric will stretch to fit you. I can attest to the pouch looking small but being able to hold a lot!

Take some time and check out the Affair line. Also, all the other lines at the Gregg Homme Site.

img_4147Hey guys! You’ve seen these posts before. We definitely want to get your help to support UNB! Unlike previous posts, this is to help me directly. Over the last week, I had not one but two computers give up the ghost. What are the odds?

I had a MacBook Pro from 2012 that had been the main computer I used for the site. It has major issues with the video card and the logic board. To get it fixed will be as much as a new computer. No worries, I had a 2011 MacBook Air as a backup. It wasn’t an ideal solution but hey it worked well. That was until it turned off and couldn’t be turned back on. WTH, is what I said but it was more like WTF.

You may not have known it but for several days the site was run off an older iPad. It was a Tim Gunn “Make it work moment.” I have been making it work with an iPad and a Chromebook but its not an ideal situation for running a blog and doing videos.

To read the entire story go to the Tech Meltdown page. If you can give one time or on going, we would love that, and personally would be thankful!  To donate once, click the Donate button for PayPal below or to give monthly use the Patreon button! Thanks guys!

1423-affairWho’s ready for some awesome undies? Ok, I know most of you answer yes to that, but what about super sexy undies? If you said yes, you’re in luck. The Fall collection from Gregg Homme was just released! I LOVE them so much. They have such great creativity for designing underwear. They also use the most amazing fabric on the planet.

This is going to be a brief overview of the collection. Over the next week or so, we will be breaking down each collection into it’s own post. We feel that they deserve that. I mean, you can’t  cover a collection this diverse in one post. So what’s in the new collection?

  • The Affair
  • Black_Kilt
  • Camo
  • Diablo
  • Player
  • Push_Up_2.0
  • Rococo
  • Suspender
  • Wanted
  • Wild_West

It is a large collection for them. They have brought back some leather and give their take on lace as well. Gregg Homme operates in their own creative world. This collection seems to be released a little later than other collections.

Who should buy Gregg Homme? I think everyone. I know they are pricey. But, the price is reflected in the quality of the underwear. This underwear will last you for wears. You can feel super sexy for years to come, rather than just a few months. I still have pairs that I got when UNB first started 8 years ago. They are still wearable and as they were when I bought them.

We aren’t going to run the posts in alphabetical order. They will run every other day. We can’t wait to share our take on these awesome lines with you!

 

hawai-4997-4boxerWe haven’t forgotten about boxer brief fans! I know we have quite a few out there. One of the brands that have created a third collection from this year is Hawai. They are known for their fun prints, bright colors, and classic designs.  I can’t ever recall when they have released a third collection. It’s usually spring and fall.

Hawai is all about longer boxer briefs. Most come mid thigh. The fabrics vary from a cotton to nylon and more. They have embraced the prints trend in men’s underwear. I really love the prints they chose. Lately I can’t get enough prints. Hawai also pics some of the brightest colors in underwear. You will make a statement in these

is_feather_brf_grey_161020134921aussieBum is really putting out a lot of different lines right now, or as they call them ranges. The one of the newest is the FeatherLite range. This is their version of the seamless underwear. If you’re a fan of seamless, this is made to aussieBum’s standards!

The official description is:

As light as a feather and much softer on the skin, aussieBum’s new FeatherLite undies take comfort to a whole new level. With aussieBum’s seamless technology FeatherLite has no internal stitching meaning zero irritation. Available now in brief and hipster with limited edition waistband in three essential colours. Get them now!

The FeatherLite line consists of a brief and hipster. Both classic cuts for aussieBum. Each one has a gray branded aussieBum waistband. The colors are black, white and gray. These are core colors. Which I think really work in this line. Most seamless underwear collections tend to stick to the classic color palate.

The line is made out of a 95% Nylon/ 5% Spandex blend. Making it the perfect fabric for a seamless collection. It will give the support you need. Note, they mention that if you want the logo centered in the front, the logo placement may vary from pair to pair.

If you’re a fan of seamless underwear, definitely give the aussieBum FeatherLite collection a once over!

tt-joe-snyder-pride-frameI don’t consider myself a thong guy. Well, not to the extent of many of you guys out there. It’s not my go to style or even second style. This past weekend I set out to look into the thongs I have loved and still do. Many of my first favorites are no longer being made. But, there are many more pairs that are still being made. One of them is the Joe Snyder Pride Frame Thong.

I loved the Pride Frame bikini and of course the next step was the thong. Back, when the line came out I got to review most of the line. From the Trunk, bikini and thong. The Thong has become one of my favorite thongs in my underwear drawer. The reason is the pouch. The Pride Frame pouch, is made to be a big bigger than the traditional Joe Snyder thong. The way it is made it is, as the name suggests, frames your pride. The trim goes around the pouch. This thong is the perfect mix to me of a great pouch plus an amazing back. Sometimes you have one or the other but when you can find both it’s gold!

Another thing that it scores points for is colors. It’s in really bright fun colors. White, Yellow, Turquoise, Pink, Purple, Red, and newsprint. My favorite is purple but any color in this bunch would be amazing. I may have to get a pink one shortly to match the purple and white one I have currently in my drawer. They also have a neon line that is black and the trim is a neon color. It still frames your pride nicely.

If you have tried Joe Snyder in the past and the pouch is too small. Definitely give the Pride Frame a chance, I was pleasantly surprised in the bigger pouch! It’s available from the Joe Snyder site.  Also, it can be worn as swimwear!

BRAND: Joe Snyder
PAIR: Pride Frame Thong
COLORS: White, Yellow, Turquoise, Pink, Purple, Red, and newsprint
FABRIC: 80% nylon 20% lycra material
SIZES: Small – X-Large
COST: $25.00

jorI have said it before and every new collection proves this, Bikinis are making a come back! One of the latest brand to make a “true bikini” is JOR. The pair is the Tayrona Bikini. A quick overview of what is a true bikini. It’s got a small waistband, minimal sides and sometimes a pouch or not. It can include a full or smaller back. This pair meets all those but with a pouch and full back.

If you have never tried a bikini, this would be a great starter pair. If, you’re a fan of bikinis, we urge you to check this pair out. It’s made out of a 96% Polyester 4% Spandex blend.  The fabric is soft and resilient, and retains shape.

The sizing is something you may need to watch on this pair. It’s made out of Columbia. Typically, these can run smaller than most US sizing. We would suggest reviewing the sizing chart before you buy. If in doubt always go a size up. If you are familiar with the brand you may know what size you are in JOR.

Available in 3 different fun colors. They are Pink, Orange and White. My favorite of the group is Pink. JOR is not afraid of making amazing colors in their underwear. This has been shown collection over collection. It’s one of the reasons I really like them. Color is an important factor in picking underwear for myself. The one thing I hope is in future collections they bring in some prints. However, these colors will be perfect for any guy out there.

If you love bikinis and bright colors. This is  a win-win for you. It’s great to see the style making a comeback! Give them a try!

to-bulge-orEarlier this month we talked about is there such a thing as “bulging too much?”  I said what I thought and I know a few of our guy may weigh in on the topic as well. In the mean time, we want to report on the survey we asked you guys in the previous post.

We asked you guys two questions. The first, when do you bulge and the second was to comment on when and why you show a bulge. Like most things on the site, our readers are a microcosm of the larger world. We had over 60 of you weigh in. And here are the results

screen-shot-2016-10-25-at-6-04-44-pm

A lot of you guys do like I do. You bulge outside of work in more social situations. Roughly 42% of you guys do this. However, we have a bunch guys, 35% who say you bulge all the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s work or social times. It doesn’t matter. 12% of you guys just bulge for your partner or significant other. 6% of you guys don’t bulge at all. Lastly, 2% chose other, not sure what “other is”.

Here is what some of you said:

  • If you’ve got it (or got it enhanced) then flaunt it.
  • Anytime you want to catch a mate’s eye.
  • To each their own.
  • They’re awesome.
  • It is fine when appropriate i.e. with your partner or spouse or even friends. Showing a bulge is almost like trying to prove your manhood in an in your face way. All men have them but I don’t think it is necessary to flaunt your endowment. Maybe I am old.
  • there is nothing wrong with it. it’s completely natural.
  • it is no different that women and their breasts.
  • Can be fun, but not in certain venues.
  • Don’t be shy
  • Being on the smaller side, it gives confidence and that makes me feel good
  • provocative
  • DO IT! Men’s anatomy shouldn’t be shameful.
  • Do it! All the time! I’m not well-endowed, and I love it when guys bulge and show off. I enjoy it. I would do it if I were bigger.
  • I like it, in me and in others! Good for the imagination!
  • It has its place, but it’s not appropriate in a work environment.
  • LOVE IT! Think it is way god invented sweatpants!
  • You got it, flaunt it.
  • It is more about attitude and how much you flaunt your bulge that just having it there
  • It’s okay. if you have it, flaunt. But its a bit weird when it looks like a huge boner, rather than having a nice natural package.
  • I love seeing bulges!

I love the diversity of guys who read UNB. We range from show it off to only be in certain venues. Most were encouraging guys to show off. To me its your comfort level and endowment. Speaking from the guys who pack a pouch full, it can be a little much for me at times. But, if you love it, do it and be proud doing it!

Jocks aren’t made just for working out any more. They are now can be worn every day. One company making “every day” jocks is Jack Adams. They have taken a work out classic and turned it into a modern day designer pair. The one we chose to profile this week is the Cross Train jock.

The Cross Train Jock reminds me of a cross between a jock and a brief. I say that because the pouch has trim that reminds me of a fly on a brief. Granted, it’s not a fly but the design says brief to me. The Jock is one of the ones I like best from Jack Adams. As I said above its a designer pair and not a pair of underwear.

The Jock comes in two different colors. They are Black/Yellow and Light Blue/White. I prefer the Light Blue in the colors, but both are pretty great. Made out of 95% Cotton and 5% Elastane blend. Making it perfect for all day wear. It will move and stretch with you.

Where could you wear this pair? It can be worn in casual wear. Such as jeans and shorts hanging out. It can be worn to work as well. Meaning suits, uniforms and more. It can also be worn to work out in. The original purpose of a jockstrap!
