Garçon Model sent us some amazing pics. These are shot by photographer Martijn Smouter featuring the blue trunk from our Bamboo Elite collection.
We get a real guy to try some Baskit Body Art Briefs. Matt is back with another video. He has his friend Dash try the Baskit briefs. Did he like them? Will he wear some more? Find out by watching the video. Underwear furnished by Baskit.
It’s Time to dive into Summer. This is a quick preview of the UNB Swimwear Guide. This is Drew wearing the Modus Vivendi Neon Boxer S1621 fuschia. Matt is wearing them as well but you can’t tell this in the picture! The guide will be out tomorrow !
Well not exactly but their new collection is called Poseidon. It brings a mesh pair into the line up. But don’t worry, it’s a mesh pouch not fully mesh. Jason at 2EROS just creates amazing color combinations and styles. Every line builds from what he’s learned in previous ones. And I really love this line.
Here is what 2EROS says about the new new collection.
Poseidon features 2EROS CURV Technology which offers unrivalled comfort and an enhanced but natural lift. This collection has fishnet like mesh, exposing parts of your V line and a single layer front pouch. Poseidon’s bold colour palette combined with its daring and revealing design is alluring and seductive and not for the faint hearted.
What is the 2EROS CURV Technology? More brands are starting to pay attention to the pouch. This is partly, I feel, the brands want great underwear and customers are wanting a great pouch. The official definition is “is designed with a single layered scoop which lifts, contours and shapes everything in a natural way. The CURVed shape of the bodywear pouch is designed to not only give you a natural lift but to create a ‘contact-less’ support to reduce chaffing and sweating. Every pair of 2EROS is ergonomically designed to give you the right amount of room and support in all the right places.” This is an initiative we fully agree.
The new collection comes in brief, jock and trunk. These are pretty standard styles for 2EROS. Each pair has a mesh panel. The brief has a panel that goes around the back. It shows off just enough at the top. This design element they have used in some of their swimwear. It’s a signature of the brand. The trunk has mesh sides that go around the back but leaves a lot more to the imagination. Lastly is the jock. It just has two mesh panels on the side.
This is a super fun line. It will be released in the next week! Stay tuned for more!
The Billy line from aussieBum has become a staple of the brand. Since the release of the first pair, the Billy has been known for really fun prints. Now the range comes in Eternity and Skulls. These definitely live up to the past pairs of the style. Remember the 80’s inspired prints?
The Billy is for the guy who wants a minimal waistband. I know we have plenty of readers who are not big fans of a waistband. It also has one of the best examples of a modern bikini. The cut has no fly, in a brief cut and the minimal waistband makes it complete. The hipster was released shortly after the brief. It has the same minimal waistband as the brief.
The Eternity line is a bandana print. Meaning it looks like a classic bandana. At least that’s the way I see it. You could say it is sort of a paisley print as well. It’s one type of print that is rarely used in underwear. We see it pop up every now and then. aussieBum really put their spin on it and it came out great! Colors are Black, Navy, Ice and red.
If you aren’t a fan of the Eternity maybe the Skulls is for you. It’s not as morbid as you might think. Skulls in underwear can be very hit or miss for me. The ones I tend to like are the Day of the Dead inspired ones. These are more traditional but not too creepy. I would say it takes a certain kind of guy to pull these off! Colors are Blue, Black, Aqua and Red
The pairs retail $13.50 for the brief and $14.25 for the hipster. Also you can find the Billy in other colors and prints on the aussieBum site. Now go shop for some awesome undies from down under! Also be sure to check out the new swim ranges!
One of our Twitter followers, Citylad78, posted this pic on Twitter. He’s a suit lover and is wearing a jock under his suit. We think suits are made for fun undies, like a jock. Citylad78, gave us his permission to post his pic. We hope you enjoy seeing a real guy in undies. We hope to post many more!
Just when you thought N2N Bodywear wouldn’t have a swim thong. They go ahead and spring the new Fire Island G-string on us! It’s part of the new Fire Island collection. The last thong was part of the Pride collection that has been discontinued. As we said before, when we talked to N2N they told us they would be releasing new collections through out the year. This gives us lots of excitement here. We will have some new reviews very soon.
We have more readers who are braving to wear swim thongs. They have worn swim briefs or are skipping over the brief and going straight to the thong. N2N has been a big supporter of the swim thong. It’s a company you can count on to have one. When the new collection was released back in March/April, it was strange to me that there wasn’t one at launch.
The biggest thing you will notice on the Fire Island collection buckle. This buckle is fully functional. Meaning it comes completely unclipped and will show off everything. This could be good in certain situations. N2N always adds a sexy twist onto their styles. It could be a pouch, a cut or in this case the buckle.
The pair comes in bright colors. Mango, Green, Fuchsia and Turquoise. A swim thong will definitely get you noticed, but these colors will make sure you get noticed. But, isn’t the point of a swim thong is just that? I will say I have worn swim thongs in the past to go swimming. Where I wore them were a private pool and not in public. Would I wear one in public, right now nope! But we have plenty of you out there who would!
The pair retails for $30. N2N is known for having great styles at affordable prices. If you want to brave a swim thong in private or public, this maybe the pair for you!
D.Hedral is a brand after our own heart. They thing guys need to wear swim briefs. We full stand behind this! Here is what they wrote to go along with this video!
Let’s go back to a time when men were more confident… wearing less.
And more… European! about skin, on show, on the beach.
Where girls don’t prefer their guy to wear board-shorts. (Cos no one likes a farmer’s tan!)
Where there isn’t this need to cover up so much down there.
This is the way to our kind of beach,
Where you show off your skin this summer.
The beach brief is back!
And for guys… that are bolder than the rest.

Todd Sanfield has created an awesome new collection. It’s classic but still has an amazing sexy look to the collection. This is Todd in one of his new jocks!
The pair of the week is the Baskit Ribbed Brief. Here is what Baskit has to say about the pair:
Our Ribbed collection provides great style. With our wide-ribbed fabric design and superior support, you’re left feeling free and less constricted due to the elasticity of the ribbed fabric construction. Our Briefs are known for their amazing pouch fit and a great low profile on your waist, drawing attention to your best assets without sacrificing comfort.
Colors:
Pewter Gray
Victoria Blue
Lemon Chrome Yellow
When we mention Candyman what comes to mind? Is it bright colors, lace, sexy costume and over the top designs? If you said any of those we couldn’t agree more. The brand has a wilder design than other brands out there. They are often known for using lace fabrics and skimpy thong cuts.
What would happen if they released a swimwear line? Well they just did. This is the first time that I recall them doing swimwear. So what would you expect from the line? If you said lace, sorry not in the swimwear. If you said bright colors, YES of course those are included, If you said sexy cuts, that’s another yes. But sadly no thongs fro swim!
We group them in traditional, wild cuts and fun prints. In total there are 14 pairs of swimwear released from them. Let’s start out on the traditional cuts.
Candyman Summer Swim Briefs 99207 – Show your patriotism in this pair. It’s flag inspired but without the literal interpretation of the flag. The right side is red/white stripes and the left and back are solid blue. The waistband is red and the stitching in the leg is also red.
Candyman 99212 Swim Brief – Looking for something classic with a bit of a spin? This pair is available in three colors: blue, green and pink. It has a belt in the front that gives it a 1950’s feel to me. Something that more classic. The colors are anything but classic. The green and pink will draw attention.
Candyman Mix Color block Swim Trunk 99220 – If you’re not a fan of a brief but want a trunk. This is the pair for you. Where the pair above has a more classic feel, this has a model classic feel. Two tone color block in a longer cut.
Sexy Cuts are standard with Candyman. This includes the swimwear.
Candyman 99214 Swim Briefs – This is a pair with a cut out on the right hip with three straps. It reminds me of several pairs they have had over the years in underwear. They featured a similar design. It’s just available in black. It shows skin but not enough to get you in trouble.
Candyman 99216 Swim Briefs Color – Let’s say you want to show off the back more than the front. That is if you have some junk in the trunk. This pair of Candyman has a swoop deign in the pack with a few straps to show off the top of your bum. The ring in the center creates an interesting design that will draw attention.
Prints are not something Candyman has done a lot with, however this collection it has a lot more in underwear and swimwear.
Candyman 99210 Swim Brief – It doesn’t have an official name but it’s a snake print. The pouch is made out of a black snake skin print that isn’t over the top. It also has two snake skin stripes to accent the pouch. Its a black print on black spandex. You won’t be rocking blatant snake print but people close to you will be able to see what it is.
Candyman 99218 Swim Trunks – Looking to go for the gold? this black and gold trunks is for you. They have an interesting design but not sure its snake print. Its definitely different from the rest. This would be perfect for Miami or other tropical destination.
Candyman 99219 Swim Trunks – Bright tropical prints are made for swimwear. This print is if you took a tropical designation at sun set and made it into a print. Its something different than I have seen in swimwear. I’m on the fence with it for me personally but I can see it being a popular suit for them.
Candyman Mix Color block Swim Trunk 99220 – If you like the traditional cut of the trunk mentioned above, but want something a bit bolder? This suit has a floral and flamingo print. Its very “Brady Bunch” to me. This will sell some of you and make others go running off! I think it’s super fun.
Candyman 99223 Swim Briefs – Animal prints have been big in swimwear for a few years. This pair is a solid blue front and a leopard face in the back. It’s something very different and that Candyman put their own spin on it. The colors and print are definitely for a tropical local.
Candyman 99224 Swim Trunks – If like the pair above but want the cat print in a trunk. Candyman has you covered. This trunk has cat faces on both sides and a solid black background. Its’ a really fun print for the summer.
Candyman 99225 Swim Briefs Swim Briefs – Looking for something to let your inner wolf out? This pair is it. It has an almost string bikini cut with a wolf print on the back. The back looks to be 3/4 back. Meaning it won’t offer full coverage like the other briefs.
Looking for super fun swimwear make sure you take a look at Candyman for the Summer.
Cellblock 13 is one of the go to pairs for fetish wear. Over the years we have seen football pants, harnesses, singlets and more! It’s a brand that is as much fun to wear as it is to see. One of the newest lines is the Dark Room. And what happens in the dark room stays in the dark room!Our friends at Jack Adams sent us some amazing new pictures. These are all part of the newest collection. This is the Triumph 1″ racer. One of the new sexy pairs of swimwear!
It’s Swimwear Sunday. Time for some great swimwear for the summer. The pair we are profiling today is the Garçon Model Graffiti swim brief. But don’t worry it also comes in swim shorts. This is the first time that Garçon Model has released a swim line!
“We’re very excited to announce Garçon Model’s first swimwear collection! Named after its bold print, the “Graffiti Collection” is composed of 5 vibrant colours in an array of swim briefs & shorts. Perfect for this Summer! We’d also like to offer your readers a 15% discount to celebrate this event, using code SUMMER15″
The colors they offer are navy, blue, red, yellow and black. It is available in both the brief and short. Each one has the graffiti print you see above. You could even wear them as a set. Wear the shorts till you get to the beach then remove it and spend the day in the briefs. Not all guys like to walk to the beach in just a pair of swim briefs.
Some of the features of the brief are it has a double lined front. This should prevent everything from showing through (although, we have some who prefer no lining). It is salt & Chlorine resistant. Making it perfect for the ocean or any pool. The pair also has a low rise fit with an internal draw string. This is for those guys who prefer the string not to show. The suit itself is a high definition print on a 82% Polyester / 18% Spandex blend of fabric.
The two styles are available directly from Garçon Model’s site. The brief is retailing for $75 and the shorts are $95. These two styles will definitely catch attention on the beach this summer. For a first collection I think GM did an awesome job at creating something different and fun. I look forward to more swimwear from them.

Three years on from the Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh and the ugly side of fashion hasraised its head again. This time in the form of Beyonce’s new Ivy Park label and accusations of 63 cents an hour sweat shop factory workers.
Labels are happy to spend vast sums of money on celebrity endorsements and social media selfies, but are far less keen to say how and where the clothing is made. Behind the scenes cost savings and aggressive margin targets are regularly applied. This is like building a skyscraper and skimping on the foundations to afford a nicer façade. Unfortunately customers are kept in the dark until the next scandal unfolds.
British label Drake & Hutch believes change is long overdue and plans to save the world one pair of pants at a time!
They have broken away from the traditional closed door retail model and instead offer full transparency in production. A simple idea, from cotton grower to garment maker, every stage of production is advised for each luxury pair of pants they make.
Founder Pete McGuinness spent two years traveling the world looking for suppliers who shared his passion for high quality comfort and it became clear those with the happiest staff, who are treated well and paid fair wages, produced the best quality clothing.
He explains: “once I spent three hours talking with the floor manager of our Italian partner mill and soon realised he was as passionate about the fabrics he was weaving as he was about his beloved AC Milan. It’s enthusiasm like this at every stage of production that gives us pride in telling the story behind how and where we make.”
This is a small step in the right direction and one we hope will become the norm as opposed to the exception. Being open and honest about how and where clothing is made gives power back to the customer and this is where the drive for change must come from. We believe putting on the right pants in the morning is as good a place to start as any!
You can find more information about Drake & Hutch and their transparency policy online at drakeandhutch.com/suppliers.
aussieBum has released a new range called Body Denim. Which are “engineered undies.’ aussieBum says “BodyDenim” is the newest in print innovation by aussieBum. The denim inspired print is featured on the entire garment with both the body and waistband being custom engineered. The first of its kind in bringing outerwear fashion closer to your body, this product is now available in brief, hipster and long-leg hipster styles, in three striking colours.”
The first thing I think is amazing is the waistband. It looks like the entire pair is printed as one print. From what I can tell on the aussieBum site, the waistband is printed separate from the rest. The button and belt looks are super cool to me. Its amazing how they have it look like it’s one material and print.
One other thing they did that I love is the pocket. There is a rear pocket on each pair. This includes the brief. Also, when you look around back there is an aussieBum label, just like the leather label on jeans. Its a detail that a brand like aussieBum doesn’t over look. The last detail that I like is the distress each print has with the denim. It looks like it’s a well worn pair of jeans.
There are three different colors of denim in this range. It’s regular denim, faded denim and black denim. My personal favorite is the faded denim. It’s just sexier to me than the other pairs, but that’s just my opinion. It comes in three different styles as well. They are brief, hipster and L-leg. The first two are staples of many aB lines. The L-leg is the newer boxer brief they have released. The pairs retail for $27.50 for brief, $30.99 for hipster and $34.50 for the L-leg.
Each of these fun pairs is available at the aussieBum site. See the pictures below!
I saw this picture from Go Softwear and loved it. It reminds me of an underwear shoot. It’s not all stand around and look great. Sometimes it can be a lot of sitting around. Make sure you check out the new collection.
Tyler Forsyth for CellBlock13. Tyler is from Atlanta, Georgia and caught Timoteo’s eye at the International Mister Leather event last weekend. They worked together on a quick test shoot. This super sexy guy filled out the CB13 undies and harness in all the right places. He has a great following on insta and we can tell why. He has a great southern boy charm, handsome face, and makes everything look amazing. This is one of his first shoots for Cellblock 13, we are all looking forward to seeing more of him 🙂 Let me know what you think.
