2(X)IST just has a fun time designing undies. You can tell that with their new collections. The latest is the Graphic Cotton collection. Prints have been huge in the world of men’s underwear and continue to be strong this year. I think they are here to stay actually!
The new collection maybe a bit different when you see it. Last August when I got to sit down with 2(X)ist at Magic. They showed me this collection. Right away I loved the bold prints they produced for the collection. I wanted them right then! However, but what happens when you are not a big print fan? Are you left out of the line?
Nope! The collection has the prints you see above and ones where it’s a solid and the print is on the waistband. I thought this was genius. Some times you feel like a print and sometimes you don’t, or something like that. This allows the line to reach a broader audience. Believe it or not we have some readers who are not fans of prints. They like more classic colors and cuts. To them putting on something above is a big NO! However, if its the waistband some will definitely go for that!
The collection is available in two cuts. Those cuts are the No-Show brief and trunk. Again both classic cuts for 2(X)ist. And I would dare to say two of their best! Both pairs are made out of a 95% Cotton / 5% Spandex blend. This will give you the breathability of cotton and some stretch from the spandex. The brief retails for $24 and Trunk is $28.
What are the colors: Saffron Zigzag, Safron, Flame Scarlett Zigzag, Dress Blue, Black Fractal Chevron, Bittersweet, Dazzling Fractal Chevron and Dazzling Blue (pictures are in this order below). Each print correlates with a solid color. This is pretty genius by 2(X)ist. See the pictures of both styles below.
Find this at the 2(X)IST site or your favorite retailer!
Timoteo worked with Model Elvis Rivera on shot some of the new Timoteo swimwear collection landing in retails stores this week. All the new swim looks great on Elvis, especially the Rio green and black zigzag. Also included in these shots are the very popular Timoteo Daytona shorts in green and blood orange, these are super comfortable and a favorite of the model.

We are big fans of Obviously here at UNB. Myself and Salvatore both love the ergonomic pouch of the line! Obviously released the AnatoMAX Colours – Downtown Collection. This collection will be a most welcome addition to any ergonomic pouch lover!
If you’re not familiar with the brand we think you should be and not for the pouch! They pay attention to the fabric as well. All the pairs I have ever owned have been amazing. The fit and comfort is top notch! Here is a blurb from their site and it sums up everything nicely about the band.
“Our meticulously engineered anatomical pouch design is what places our brand at the forefront of the underwear market. In order to provide you with the ultimate in superior quality of underwear we have chosen to use nothing but the finest natural fabrics – Bamboo Rayon and Licensed Lenzing Modal. These fabrics allow us to create underwear that is perfect to convey the feeling of softness, durability and support. Our fabrics have significant health benefits over regular cotton and synthetic underwear fabrics, they are highly UV resistant, non Genetically Modified (GM), sustainable and environmentally friendly”
If you aren’t familiar with the AnatoMAX line, below is the official description.
“AnatoMAX is the most recent pouch release and it is the largest pouch design available from Obviously. It provides a naturally shaped, anatomical pouch with MAXimum size, MAXimum space and MAXimum comfort.

When I think of Sukrew, I picture amazing pouch and some great smaller styles. So imagine when I was looking through their Twitter and noticed a longer boxer brief. It made me do a double take. The pictures made them look super sexy. They do a few things I love in a boxer brief. It’s a longer cut and has the Sukrew pouch!
You maybe going “you are not a boxer brief fan.” This is true but the above mentioned things make me really like a pair of Boxer Briefs. I really enjoyed the Sukrew brief pouch. Its one of the best ones on the market. Definitely in my top 10. These look to have that same pouch!
The Boxer Briefs are part of the Sprint style. It comes with the pouch and the U style. The U Style is the pair without a pouch and gives you the feeling of hanging free. This has been in all their designs since the start. I have tried the U style but prefer the full pouch. However, there are many of you out there who love the mix of full undies but letting it all hang out. I would be lying if I didn’t say the Sprint U style has me interested. Something about having that much coverage but being that free.
Sukrew does an awesome job with fabric. The Main Fabric: 95% Polyamide 5% Elastane and Small Panels: 85% Polyamide 15% Elastane for the Jake. The briefs I have feel amazing when I wear them! I would expect nothing less with these
There are three different colors of the the Sprint. It’s available in both styles.
White – Joey – White body with Sukrew blue print fabric
Red/Black – Jake – Red body with black mesh sides and pouch
Sapphire – Topaz – Blue body with a slightly see through Sukrew white print
We just received pictures from Marcuse. They have such amazing pictures. This is their Summer Collection16, featuring model Jai Lee by photographer Russell Fleming. We will have more about the collection for you very soon!
I was going through a lot of old pics from over the years. I am finally going back to create an archive of pictures UNB has received over the years. The first batch was from 2008-2011. I put them all in an iPhoto library. This was one of the pictures I wanted to share! It was shot by Tom Cullis and features the Timoteo Rugby line. It’s a few years old but still an amazing picture!
Spring is here. Ok it’s nearly here and first off the mark with another new release for this year is that quirky little British Brand Bum-Chums again. This time they’re releasing another new design but in a completely new cut for them. Calling it the Bermuda Cup, this long leg trunk piece is a lot of pants for the pennies. Bum-Chums is launching this new design in a re-vamp of some past favourites as a limited run ahead of new styles coming in for the Spring/Summer 2016 collections.
We caught up with Craig from Bum-Chums who said “we were asked if we’d ever bring back some of the more popular old prints we had and that’s just what we’ve done. As well as adding some stock to the specials, we’ve decided to merge the old with the new. Giving a new style entirely at the same time as spring cleaning the fabric store to make room for the new fabrics!”
Craig added, “We really try to listen hard to our customers and hear what they have to say and learn what they want from our brand too. There are still new designs to make such as a more structured bum-boxer, it’s still on our list, but we did hear you!”
The Bermuda Cup design seems to do what it says on the tin, with a trunk style design the length of the 90’s Bermuda Shorts, combined with a cupped and sculpted front pouch, lifting the manly assets then sculpting the rear with their signature bum-chums curved back seam. From memory, Bum-Chums held a vote on their social media channels asking their followers for input for this design before it was made… Not often would you see a brand brave enough to actually do this and hats off to them for having the balls to get their customers involved.
The long legs are finished a hand-span above the knee and edged with a 1cm finished binding and a 1cm on the top binding surrounding the cup, for that extra lift. The pouch itself has a decorative cover stitching down the front, single panel thickness to allow extra stretch and sexiness and is sculpted to be filled in all the right places.
We wonder if this new design will give rise to more cupped designs, maybe in a much shorter, more-skimpy cut just for contrast… Watch this space… Or better still, as they’re listening, why not get involved and make it your brand too.
Bum Chums Snake Bite
Bum Chums Tropics

I was going to profile a nice calm pair of swim briefs. Ones that are more low key and relaxed. I was thinking a simple black brief, which is classic! However, as my week went on I wanted something with a little more pop in them. So it got me thinking who has some great new swimwear? Then I remembered that JOR just released a brand new line!
There are so many great pairs from JOR. It will grace Swimwear Sunday more than once. The pair I chose this week is the Ibiza Swim Briefs. The Ibiza is a print with a blue background. The image features the great island of Ibiza! Match that with the blue sky and it’s a conversation starter for sure! Made out of Polyester 13% Spandex blend with a hidden draw cord waist.
Swimwear should be a bit different than our underwear. You have to admit it’s flattering when someone comes up and asks about your swimwear. “Who made that suit?” “Where did you get that amazing swim suit?” We are sure if you wear this pair you will be asked those questions. That is because prints are big in swimwear. They have been carried over from underwear I believe. Guys just want to express themselves in different way.
One more thing about the pair. We have to turn you around. The back has the print and says “Welcome Summer.” I love this touch! It just adds to the conversation factor! JOR is all about fun!
How is sizing? The sizing chart states that a Small is 28-30, Medium 30-32, Large 32-34 and XL 34-36. Its not a traditional underwear size but it’s comparable to most undies. I wished it came in more sizes on the larger end.
If you are interested in this pair you can find it at your favorite store or online at Candyman Fashion for $45.48

The second new line of Modus Vivendi Spring-Summer 2016 collection has just been released. The line is called Earth Line and comprises underwear and t-shirts in two earthy colours: grey and brown. The underwear of this line comes in three distinctive cuts: briefs, boxers and jockstraps. The two colours are natural dyes and are combined perfectly with metallic silver or gold elasticated waistbands and lighter colour design accents.
The new line’s inspiration is expressed through the brand’s new campaign. The concept is spring’s symbolism of renewal and rebirth. The brand’s optimistic attitude goes one step further with the inclusion of their best selling, and restocked, shiny Metallic underwear in this shoot. Model Alexios Charistos was not afraid to get dirty for the needs of this campaign photographed by P2Photography! The photos, we think, are amazing!

Bite the bullet and get yourself in Cellblock 13’s latest fetish jockstrap with credentials: The Cellblock 13 Bullet Jockstrap has the look and attitude of leather but it’s actually a high-quality coated polyester/spandex fabric that’s durable yet soft and pliable – exactly what you want cradling your boys. But best feature is, unlike leather, this jock is machine washable.
The front is like a streamlined brief with a contouring so you fit in it just right with a contrasting one and one quarter inch vertical sports stripe down the center. Where things get really interesting: the whole front is the leather-look pouch (i.e no elastic waistband). The sturdy Cellblock 13 elastic waistband attaches to each side and runs around to the back ensuring this jock fits like a glove and it looks freakn’ awesome. The full two inch wide waistband consists of three alternating stripes with the iconic Cellblock 13 written dead center across the back and just above the crack of your ass. Finally two black one inch comfort leg straps finish it all off.
Bullet is unique and definitely masculine and comes in your favorite fetish color combinations like black with white, black with red and black with blue, but our very favorite is the military version with it’s army-green pouch and gunpowder-black stripe. Jockstrap Central model Caleb King will show you what Bullet is all about just head over to the JC website for your lesson.”
We should have posted this one yesterday! Sukrew has some great new style. This is their thong. Which I was unaware they put out! It’s just like their other underwear, super sexy!
What would underwear be without great support? Well…. boxers! And I’m sure just about everyone reading this blog is not a big boxers fan. Like underwear we definitely need support. That can some in emotional and financial. This is like pledge week so let’s get the financial out of the way!
As I have said it takes money to run UNB. Over the years we have grown to a certain size that we have to rely on certain things. First is the hosting. We are too big and have our own dedicated server. This helps in traffic and growth. I hear you and you mention the problems we had a few weeks ago. That was an issue with an out dated server and we have since upgraded. Since we have completed the migration we have had no issues. HUZZAH!
Things such as moving servers, new designs to the site, and shoots all take money. We are getting by and cutting costs as we can. We def could use more support to grow and upgrade. If we had just 1/4 of your guys donate $1 a month we would be set! I would offer us more than enough money to do a lot of the things we to venture into! It’s easy to do just go to the UNB Patreon page and donate. You can remain anonymous!
We have redone our reward levels and have created a Slack where people donating over $5 a month get to be in a small focus group with other underwear fans and help us shape the future and get to know your other underwear lovers who support us!
Now, what if you can’t afford to give. We still love you guys too. Trust me I get it being on a super tight budget. If you are in this boat. Join in on our conversations and share our content. Share them on social media and with friend you think would enjoy the site. It’s just as important to share us and read us every day.
We hope you will take some time to support us either way!
It’s time for swimwear. We had to profile this pair from JOR Fiji Swim Brief. Which is bright and fun! It has a bigger cut than a traditional swim brief. We hope you enjoy. The Fiji brief is $45.48 at Candyman Fashion
