15.MV - Earth Line  - Conseptual With LogoThe 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!

cellblock-13-bullet-jockstrapsBite 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.”

IMG_9032What 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!

Today we feature the Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Jock w/Show-it. “Stun any crowd with our package enhancing pouch, and bright straps that support and showcase that booty. Our Show-It Technology is a hidden “comfy cup” that gently lifts and provides excellent frontal support and enhancement. This horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement and provides the biggest natural enhancement of any underwear in our line. This new style features our signature Trophy Boy waistband that let’s everyone know what you’re working with.”

The Trophy Boy Jock is $27.50 on the Andrew Christian Site.

FXP_7914  shorty bleu cielBluebuck 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.

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.

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!

The idea of Egick Swimwear come from a need to find unique underwear and swimwear. With the market of today you can find everything so cheap and everything repeated itself nothing new.

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®.

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.
