alexander_cobb1It’s official now, the new SS 2016 collection can be purchased online and in all brand’s sales points! Under the thematic name Alter Ego the collection offers many cuts in vivid colors, and unique prints dedicated to Mister Ego, inspired by pop art. What is your alter ego? Take a peek in the collection, take a look at the strong, muscular guys and judge for yourself how the new collection looks on them. We have no objections.

Alexander COBB® stays faithful to its basic cuts (slip, trunk, boxer short and boxer long), with one novelty – jockstrap briefs named Libido, made from the combination of red and black cotton, with black strips and black elastic band. All underwear is made from the excellent combination of cotton (92 percent) and elastin (8 percent) which holds well, and enables unhindered movement, so they feel like your second skin.

This collection can be bought in XXL size which is a novelty, since Alexander COBB® has until now only produced briefs in size ranges from S to XL.

Men’s underwear and swimwear brand Modus Vivendi has just released the new images of it’s Neon underwear line. Bursting with colour, this line comprises tank tops, low cut briefs, briefs, boxers and jockstraps offering sexy and classic looks, made from the highest quality materials. The briefs, boxers and jocks come in three colour combinations, blue, grey and fuchsia perfectly combined with contrasting neon waistbands decorated with a new sporty Modus Vivendi logo label in the middle. The low cut briefs and tank tops are in solid neon fuchsia, aqua or yellow hues.

Photographer and fine artist Gavin Harrison has successfully fulfiled the task to shoot this line in the best way possible. His arousing photos show model Chris Artemiou posing in Modus Vivendi playing with strong colours, lights and neon signs in his studio in Leicester. A job very well done by Harrison and Artemiou who captured the sensual and classy character of this line perfectly!

The last few Swimwear Sunday’s we have shown some skimpy stuff. The pair we chose this week is the WildmanT Chevron Bikini. The Bikini name is a little off, because it’s more of a full brief than a bikini. Also, WildmanT is known for making swimwear and c-rings that show off everything you have!

The Chevron bikini is a bigger cut. One I personally like and think is a hot cut. It shows off enough but still keeps all the good stuff hidden. It reminds me of a classic Speedo cut. The kind I call competition cut. Competition cuts are about three inches on the side and a full back. It would be suits you would see competitive swimmers wear, before the skin suits and jammers. This pair has a bit of that old school flair.

You maybe asking about the pouch. Being WildmanT it has an ample pouch to hold everything. WildmanT makes really great gear designed for men. No matter the pair you can guarantee that its going to fit you amazing.

The Chevron Bikini is available in two colors. They are blue and red. Each one has a chevron design on the hips in white. Hence the name of the pair. The WildmanT logo is on the left hip and it has a drawstring waist that ties in the front. All these factors make this a great pair for summer.

Who should get this pair? Anyone who wants to wear a swimbrief but not show off everything. The pair is available at the WildmanT website for $45.

It’s been a while since we have had a “What’s Hot” in the US! Our posts with Dead Good Undies are a lot of fun. We found a new partner in the US to share some of the hottest pairs around. We have the honor of working with International Jock. A brand that has been around the Men’s Underwear market for years!

Hotel AmericanoTodd Sanfield has a new collection out. It’s classic and pretty awesome. I got a chance to talk to him in Vegas about the line and now we interview him since the collection is out!

First off I have to say I love the new collection. It is classic yet sexy as well. Where did you get the inspiration for the new collection?

I would say my friend, Kevin McDermott, gave me the inspiration for this collection. After knowing him for years, doing numerous photo shoots, two high-end coffee table books, and listening to how he thinks, I have come to learn he has a certain refinement that makes his work unique. He can take something very simple and fancy it up. That is the approach I took with my current collection and where I am taking my brand.

You made a fabric change. What fabric are you using in the collection?  Why did you pick this fabric?

It is 95% Lenzing Modal / 5% Elastane. When you first open the package and feel the fabric, I want you to know you’ve purchased a high-quality piece of clothing. The way it feels at first touch is exactly the same way it feels when worn. I want my customers to know that when they purchase clothing from this brand it will always be of the highest quality.
Lying backward

When in Vegas you said this collection draws from your experience from your modeling days? How did modeling affect your designs?

My entire brand draws from my experience while modeling. When I lived in NYC, I was fortunate enough to work with a reputable agency. They introduced me to different photographers and sent me on a variety of castings to different brands. After learning of the various brands and photographers, I would go home and study their designs and images. Modeling in NYC was a gateway to me being more creative, which is something I am more passionate about.

The new collection is tagless. It is one of the big annoyances our readers have, tags that is, is this why you made this design decision?

Because we are still, what I consider a new brand, my primary focus is to make a high-quality, comfortable pair of underwear. No tag is one less thing the customer has to worry about when purchasing products from a new brand.

Color is big in this collection. How many colors did you go through and what colors did you decide on?

For this new collection, I bought a Pantone book. This was my first experience using the book. In my head, I knew which colors I wanted, so it was easy to pick the colors once the different shades were laid out in front of me. We went with four colors to start, black, white, red, charcoal, teal, and a light purple. The plan is to always add more colors every few months.

Product3

The collection has the classics (Brief, Trunk, Tank and T-shirt ). What made you include a jock?

A jock is a classic similar to the brief and trunk. Being a new brand, we need to have a classic foundation and that starts with these three sexy cuts of underwear. My goal was to make a high-quality jock, brief, and trunk, then build from there. The tank and v-neck were added using the same fabric to give to customer more variety.

What kind of guy wears the new Todd Sanfield Collection?

All guys. Going with an understated design, the Essential Collection was made for everyone. The modern design and choice of premium fabric combine to make a piece of clothing that all men can wear at any place and time.

Where can our readers find your collection?

The best place to shop would be our online store: www.toddsanfield.com

In less than 90 days the world’s eyes will be set on Rio de Janeiro as the Brazilian city holds the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.With more than half a million foreign tourists expected to flock to Rio and thousands likely to hit the sandy beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema it’s important to adhere to the Carioca’s beachwear etiquette… less is more!

The square cut ‘sunga’ style beach brief is the style of choice worn with a pair of flip-flops and a canga (sarong) – the Brazilian version of a beach towel.Whether playing futevolei (foot volleyball) on Copacabana beach or sipping a Caipirinha on Ipanema it’s important to do so in the Carioca way!

D.HEDRAL’s ‘sunga’ style HECTOR beach trunk, made in Italy using two finest quick-dry fabric, is available in five colours from khaki green to samba orange.

To ensure a better fit than traditional swimwear the trunks are engineered with D.HEDRAL’s patented AngleFit Technology to create a visual enhancement of the rear. Something that could come in useful when faced with the perfectly formed physiques of the sports-mad Cariocas!

The Hector sunga is available at the D.HEDRAL site for 96 Euros.
