Bluebuck made for rugged and adventurous men

No Comments

FXP_7914 shorty bleu ciel“Bluebuck is for rugged and adventurous men. For those who are unashamedly masculine and live life to the full.” This is the way Bluebuck described their underwear to us. Its not a new brand. They have been around for a few years but we thought it was time we did a profile on the brand.

An Eco-Frindly Brand

One reason this brand may appeal to guys, outside the masculine design, is how eco-friendly the brand conducts its business.  “Bluebuck is a low carbon footprint product: we use only organic cotton, our factories are powered by renewable energies and are located in Europe.” Here is more detail about their eco-friendly

  • Our cotton is organically grown, so it doesn’t use any of the synthetic fertilisers and pesticides that promote the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The cotton is picked by hand, not with heavy machinery.
  • All the component parts of Bluebuck underwear are produced in Europe. The elastic waistband is made in Austria. The cotton labels come from Italy. The fabric is cut and assembled in Portugal. All components are moved by road, which produces around 75% less CO2 than fuel-guzzling planes
  • Our factories in Austria and Portugal are powered by ‘clean’ energy from sun, wind and water, which allows us to cut our carbon footprint. 40% of the electricity generated in Portugal and 70% of the electricity generated in Austria come from renewable sources.

Now what about the underwear?

They have what they call permanent collections. The pairs that are around and part of their catalogue. They will add pieces to this collection when needed.

Classic Collection

If you are familiar with Bluebuck, we are sure you have seen the classic collection. It’s a basic collection in 7 different colors. They also come in tone on tone and white stitching. The white gives it a bit of pop. The styles in this collection are briefs, trunks, boxers and jockstraps. Each has the standard Bluebuck waistband.

Bluebuck Nautical

The Nautical is a newer line for Bluebuck. You would assume it’s strictly nautical stripes but this has a mix of solids and stripes. The waist band is a bit simpler than the Classic collection. Also in this collection is a pair of pink! The combination of pink and navy go well together. The styles in this are the same at the Classic. It’s a brief, trunk, boxer and jock.

T-Shirts & Vests

We don’t cover too many t-shirts and tanks. You can wear them with both collections, so you are not limited. Also, they are so well made you can wear them with your favorite jeans or shorts. Its great when you have a pair that can be an under shirt or just a t-shirt.

We hope you will look over Bluebuck and if you’re eco-friendly you definitely need to check out the brand. See more at the Bluebuck site.

Jockstrap Central – Activeman Underwear Clearance Sale and Sukrew Jockstrap and Underwear Clearance Sale

No Comments

activeman-underwear-sale-email

The bad news is Activeman has stopped production on their phenomenal ergonomically designed, incredibly comfortable and super affordable range of underwear which include a sports brief and fitted modal trunk. The good news is everything we have left is now on clearance for 25% off. For those of you (and there are lots) who have made these your daily underwear, you’re going to want to stock up because they’re not coming back.

Activeman, a company known for it’s affordable traditional jockstraps, broke into the men’s underwear market big time with their brief and fitted trunk. Underwear that puts a guy’s unique anatomy and his comfort up front. While both the Activeman Sports Brief and Modal Liberty Trunk have contoured pouches and stylish comfort waistbands, the two underwear styles are totally unique:

The Liberty Trunk is constructed of one of the most exciting fabrics out there: Modal. Modal is a processed bio-based textile made from the beech tree. In many ways, a modal acts like cotton but with the advantages of rayon. It’s soft, smooth and breathes well. It is cool to the touch and very absorbent with a resistance to shrinkage. Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction and stays soft through repeated washings. Of course, our favorite feature of modal is simply it’s stretchability and it’s nature to expand adapting to anything that may pop up!

The Activeman Sports Brief is constructed of a sturdy but stretchy cotton with a touch of Elastane for the ultimate fit. The fully formed and roomy ergonomic 3d pouch ensures the utmost in comfort for a guy.

This quality of underwear at this price is unheard of: The Liberty Trunk is now on sale for $11.21 and comes in both white and black. The Sports Brief is now on sale for only $9.71 and comes in black, white and grey. At this price our remaining stock will be gone in no time.

SUKREW JOCKSTRAP AND UNDERWEAR CLEARANCE SALE – 20% OFF THE WORKS

Out with the old and in with the new so they say. We’re getting ready to launch a whole slew of new Sukrew designs so to make room we’ve discontinued all our existing ones and put them on clearance for 20% off until they’re gone. We’ve had a great run with our four existing lines of full-frontal and full-packaged jockstraps and underwear but it’s time to freshen it all up.

In case you’re just tuning in, Sukrew is a UK company who became a sensation when they launched their first U-Trunks and U-Briefs. This high quality, super stylish underwear had a dirty (not so) secret – a front flat panel with a hole to stick your entire package to put it all out on display. They quickly followed with their “conservative” styles, if you can call underwear with a super-sized 3D pouch for maximum bulging and comfort allowing you to hang naturally and comfortably and is especially popular with the big boys! Also of note is their stunning mash-up of a brief and jockstrap that come in both full-frontal or full-package versions.

We have four lines that all include trunks, briefs and jocks that range from the showy Britannia collection using Union Jack or Tartan fabric, to the stylish white and blue or black and red collections right down to a serious all-black collection.

Like the Activeman undies above, all these lines have been discontinued and with the sale our remaining stock will be snapped up very quickly we’re sure so you’ve been warned.

Swimwear Sunday – Be a Beast in Estevez

No Comments

varsity_beast_frente_grande

Welcome to the first Swimwear Sunday! This is a feature we’ll have in spring and summer to showcase some awesome swimwear. Specifically swim briefs, although we will have a few trunks and shorts. Swimwear should match your personality. Unlike underwear, this is something everyone will see. So bring out the fun side of your personality!

The first Swimwear Sunday, I really wanted something fun and to stand out. I have seen Estevez swimwear and the Beast suit really stood out. Hence, be a beast in Estevez! They also have Bear, Daddy and a few more fun suits. I highly suggest you give them a look over when choosing a new swimsuit for the summer.

One of the main reasons I chose the suit is the color scheme. It’s orange, blue and white. These colors just POP when you see them. The body is the orange and the writing and trim is blue and white. These combinations will get you noticed on the beach or pool!

The cut of the Beast is similar to a sunga. Which is a bit bigger than the traditional swim brief in the states. It’s made in Columbia, so it may have a bit of the sunga design built in. Made out of highest quality Polyester/Spandex Body and Lining. Lastly the pair has an exposed draw string on the outside. This is a feature I think really works with this pair.

Sizing of Estevez is as follows, S (30-32) / M (32-34) / L (34-36) / XL (36-38). It’s almost standard sizing for US. If you are smaller than a 30 you may find the suit is too big for you. One thing also to beware of is beware of is Velcro and other abrasive surfaces to prevent peeling. This is a good thing in general. I have had other suits get caught in velcro and ruined from the hooks of the Velcro.

If you like the Beast suit. It retails for $50 on the Estevez site. It just was released on April 1, 2016. It’s part of the 2016 swimwear collection. Don’t miss out on a great pair! Enjoy the summer i something fun!

See more great swimwear suggestions next Sunday!

American Eagle’s Big Joke….Body Image

No Comments

20160323_aelp_aerieman_lgWe ran a post on the American Eagle’s new campaign. It was written by our very on Beau Briefs. It was refreshing to see a company take on having positive body images for men. I, like most of you reading this, are in no way a male model. We don’t have six packs, our body fat isn’t in single digits and have round bubble butts. As a guy who’s considered bigger, I am having a mixed feeling about this revelation from American Eagle.

Why am I having an issue. First I have had a really bad week and don’t want my own issues to cloud this one. While it’s good they brought the conversation forward, April Fools is not the time to do this. Personally, I think the April Fools cheapens the sentiment. Its like “Psyche” we wanted to talk about it but not! Sort of a “I made you look.” Before I go forward here is the official press release from PR News Wire from American Eagle. (Note this is the entire press release and we haven’t edited down any).

NEW YORK, April 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — American Eagle Outfitters proves once again they’re not afraid to take a risk and have a laugh in support of a good cause. Following the successes of the Skinny Skinny Jean in 2013 and American Beagle Outfitters in 2014, the brand reveals today its #AerieMAN campaign, featuring a mix of quirky characters of different sizes and personalities sharing “real life” stories in their skivvies, was all in good fun to parody the #AerieReal campaign by Aerie, a leader in body-positive marketing. This announcement marks the brand’s pledge to forego retouching its male models in its underwear and swim images beginning Holiday 2016. American Eagle Outfitters maximized the brand’s visibility in mid-March due to its history with April Fools hoaxes in order to raise awareness around body diversity.

The #AerieMAN campaign, which sparked immediate online chatter and debate, challenged how brands market to the male customer, and portrayed a lighthearted, creative interpretation of the #AerieReal message, a body-acceptance movement launched in 2014 where Aerie, the lingerie and apparel brand from American Eagle Outfitters, stopped retouching its models. In addition to making the pledge to eliminate retouching its male models in its underwear and swim images, American Eagle Outfitters has donated $25,000 to the National Eating Disorders Association, a non-profit that supports those affected by eating disorders and an ongoing partner with Aerie. For more information on NEDA, please visit www.nationaleatingdisorders.com.

“We aren’t afraid of being bold in how we engage our customers, whether through a video that makes you think twice, or challenging the norm in how a brand markets to men,” comments Chad Kessler, American Eagle Outfitters Global Brand President. “We are an all-inclusive brand and we know our male customers respond to humor. We look forward to continuing to innovate and evolve the American Eagle Outfitters product offerings.”

American Eagle Outfitters offers a wide variety of undies for all guys to move, groove and bend in, spanning our classic boxers, briefs and trunks as well as our Flex athletic underwear. Show a little or a lot with key styles from the underwear collection worn throughout the campaign, including the Leaves 6″ Classic Trunk, Southwestern Print 6″ Classic Trunk and the Solid 6″ Classic Trunk. The full collection of men’s underwear is available now at American Eagle Outfitters stores nationwide and online at ae.com®.

About American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE: AEO) is a leading global specialty retailer offering high-quality, on-trend clothing, accessories and personal care products at affordable prices under its American Eagle Outfitters® and Aerie® brands.

American Eagle Outfitters and Aerie merchandise also is available at 141 international stores operated by licensees in 22 countries. For more information, please visit www.ae.com.

SOURCE American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.

It just leases a bad taste in my mouth that it was done on April Fools. I think it’s a total disservice to regular and bigger guys. We definitely need to talk about it. I think companies like BearSkn have done much more to raise awareness than American Eagle. They specifically make underwear for all guys. From size xs/small to 4XL. Their latest shoot has been been bear men not models. One thing that made me laugh is that when BearSkn posted one of our pics from our holiday shoot, they wanted a bigger guy. They said he was too thin.

Other brands are embracing the bigger guy. Junk UnderJeans has branched out the size to XXL. I think this is a conversation we need to have on UNB and it not be an April Fools Joke. Look forward to this soon on UNB.

Go Crimson with SupaWear

No Comments

SUPAWEAR_VL3280These new pairs from SupaWear will have you seeing red! And not in the way you think. SupaWear released the new Crimson line. The start of SupaWear was solid colors. In the last year they have branched out to color panels and lastly a print with the Frutoipia line. The brand is really maturing and growing.

The latest collection builds on new designs. The collection is called Crimson. “Crimson by SW takes urban architecture in a new direction,” said SupaWear about the new line. We agree with this statement. The new collection is red with white stripes. These aren’t solid stripes, as they  said above its a very “architecture” designed. The official description is: “Like the urban jungle, Crimson is designed with form and structure in mind. This is achieved from the panelled styling, the embellished waistband with an industrial finish and the strong bold lines.”

I believe that the new collection will come in a jock, brief and trunk. Which have become pretty much standard for SupaWear.

Features:

  • Panelled design with double stitch finish
  • Vinyl prints
  • Single front lining for natural lift
  • Form fitting
  • Embellished waistband

I love this direction am seeing from SupaWear. They have a great sense of experimentation and fun in the collections. What started as a basic line is now becoming a line about pushing the envelope and seeing what they come up with. One of my favorite pairs I own has been the Fruitopia line. It’s whimsical and fun. Really who would believe that you’re wearing underwear that looks like slice of Watermelon?

This line will be around April 1st! So be on the look out at the SupaWear site and your favorite retailer!

New Model Sebastian Salvino For Timoteo

No Comments

IMG_2846WebTimoteo has done some amazing pictures lately. New model Sebastian Salvino is no exception. Enjoy this series.

This is what Timoteo shared with us about the shoot:

“I have some new pics from a test shoot Timoteo did in San Francisco a few weeks back. New model Sebastian Salvino wanted to give modeling a shot for the first time. He asked around about who to shoot with and Timoteo’s name kept coming up as the best person to ask for an honest opinion about possibly modeling. “Sebastian has great energy and a smoken hot worked out body. I could not say no to such a nice guy looking to break into the modeling world.” -Timoteo. So Sebastian was invited for a quick test shoot in SF. “I was really nervous to shoot for such a big brand, but everyone had told me Timoteo was amazing to work with. Once I got there I relaxed a bit once I saw Timoteo and his team was there to make sure I looked great and we got the best images possible. I had a great shoot and looking forward working with them again”- Sebastian”

Brief Distraction from Jockstrap Central

No Comments

jsc-cellblock-13-commando-27

Cellblock 13 has headed back to the trenches with their all new Commando Jockstrap and Commando Slingback Jockstrap (Jock Brief) and they did it with all guns blazing taking the always masculine camouflage motif and adding that hit of edgy style we all expect from CB13 sending this new gear over the top. If the new gear wasn’t hot enough, wait until you see Jockstrap Central’s latest model (and porn star) Caleb King and their handsome standby Brandon in all the jocks over at their website.

Here’s the details on the new gear: The camo fabric is made with a polyester and spandex blend that’s durable yet incredibly soft to the touch with just the right amount of stretch. The stretch and the contoured design ensure you always bulge to perfection. The camouflage is traditional in army green, black, desert sand and brown. Where the style kicks in is in the details; with contrasting piping and the signature two inch wide Cellblock 13 waistband we all love in a matching color scheme, sports stripes and iconic Cellblock 13 logo front and center. The waistband provides the perfect balance between comfort and support.

The Commando Jock is striking in it’s simplicity with all the above and two masculine one inch wide leg straps to finish it all off. The Commando Slingback Jock is a bit more complex with a brief underwear style front with vertical piping to define the pouch and more piping that edges the leg openings, but where things really get interesting is in the treatment of the straps; the brief-like front fabric narrows as it heads around back where it finally meets the one inch wide leg straps. It’s a stunning bit of design which also provides some butt lifting action.

Both styles come in three color variations, each with a consistent camo fabric with contrasting piping in either black, royal-blue or red. Words can only describe so much so be sure to head to Jockstrap Central to see it all for yourself.

Sure it’s camouflage but don’t think you’re going to blend in; head back to the barracks, drop your fatigues and all eyes will be on the prize with Cellblock 13’s latest creations.

Underwear and the Stressful Day by UNB Tim

No Comments

IMG_8455Yesterday I spent 12 hours working on my computer. To some this may sound like a lot of fun but I’m sure to the most of us it’s sheer hell. Especially when things kept going wrong several times. I won’t bore you with the details but after about 10 hours I was done and wanted to throw it through the window and then stomp on it. I had to remember that if I stopped it I would have no computer for editing video and my business.

The one thing that really was great today was my undies. I wore my N2N Bodywear Mohave bikini from a few collections ago. While a bit skimpy, it felt great on me. During a break today it got me thinking how underwear can make a stressful day better. You may be going, are you insane? Well think about it, when you have a bad day and then wear bad underwear. It’s a loose-loose situation. You already feel miserable and then just down right uncomfortable with ill fitting undies.

On stressful days that I know are coming I purposefully put on a great pair of undies. I want at least one thing to go right and at the end of the day strip down and put on the TV/Netflix and relax. It’s like my secret weapon to combat a stressful day. It may sound a little simple. But, it’s one less thing I have to worry about going wrong. Plus if it’s a favorite pair through the day I realize what I am wearing and it gives me a little smile to go on.

If you have a day that is unexpected and stressful, you can’t always put on your favorite undies. Wear good undies every day. Don’t save them for special occasions. This is true in jobs that are stressful. Jobs such as a lawyer, accountant, consultant, and exec. I can picture many of you guys who are lawyers sporting something from Gregg Homme or Timoteo’s Cellblock 13 under your suit. No one would know, not your judge, client or jury!

Underwear is about making us feel better. Its not always about being sexy all the time. Did I just say that? Great underwear is a lifestyle not something you wear on occasion or a date. You embrace who you are and express it in your undies! How do you guys deal with stress with undies?
