en_tucansIt’s fast approaching summer and swimwear season. One of the companies you think of when you mention swimwear should be aussieBum. They always create great swim that will get you noticed on the beach. The Paradiso is a range that is bright, colorful and fun. Wearing this suit to the beach will command attention!

The Paradiso comes in two different patterns. The first is the Parrot and the second is the Toucans.

IS_SWMaB15005_Paradiso_Parot_01_150409085953

IS_SWMaBxxx_Paradiso_Tucan_01_150409090000

As you can tell each pattern has one of the birds mentioned on each hip. Granted its not for everyone but I think its amazingly fun. Its for the guy who wants to call attention to himself. The print is not one I have seen in swim. It has a tropical feel and when I saw it just made me smile. I thought aussieBum has done it with this pair!

If that’s not all the print on the back is just as big as the front:

IS_SWMaB15005_Paradiso_Parot_02_150409085953 IS_SWMaBxxx_Paradiso_Tucan_02_150409090000

That’s because you have the aussieBum name written across your bum in a super fun font and a continuation of the print on the front. I love these. You maybe asking would I wear them… well I need to put my money where my mouth is and say yes I would.

These are super fun in the true aussieBum tag line “Live without doubt!” These both retail for $34.87 at the aussieBum site 

OLYMPUS-SPLASH-1One of the underwear companies I feel it going to be HUGE is 2EROS. They are on their way to being one of the big boys in the men’s underwear market. Jason has a unique style and design aesthetic that sets them apart from everyone else. Each year they keep growing and growing. This year I know they have some big things planned (some I can’t say) but the Olympus is a new line that just reaffirms my opinions.

So where does the name come from? “2EROS’ EROS is named after the Greek God of lust and love, Eros. The Olympus Series Underwear is inspired by the meeting area of  Greek Gods – Olympus. It uses Gold and Silver color themes to do so.

Another thing that 2EROS has is their use of great fabrics. One of my favorites is the Black Label. The Olympus series is made with Tactile and Nylon, and uses wicking on stretched mesh fabric to allow faster drying.

The Olympus range is available in Briefs, Trunks, Jockstraps, and 2EROS’ first ever, Singlet! Before you go and get all excited about the Singlet. They are talking Tank top and not a wrestling singlet. The colors available are Black and Gold with a waistband that matches the body and trim colors.

Check out the complete Olympus line at the 2EROS Site. It was released yesterday so should be at your favorite online stores!

WT58_White-Red_4

I continue my reviews of WildmanT and the pair I am reviewing is the WT58 Apollow Short brief. The reason I picked it was its a great design. It is similar to the Moon Brief I reviewed earlier in the week. It’s clean and classic with a hint of color on the side.

This pair I got to try in Vegas but it got misplaced in my suitcase. Also, it didn’t help that I came down with bronchitis while there. So I was cleaning out the suitcase and low and behold there was a brand new pair of WildmanT still in the package! I was wondering where they went! So this past week I decided to put them to the test.

I decided to wear them on a lazy day. The Moon Briefs I wore on one of my busiest days in Vegas. These were going to be just a lounging around the house. You may say, “This isn’t a way to review a pair!” But I disagree. There is nothing better than having a day just hanging in your undies all day. A great pair is one you have for these kinds of days. So I decided to do a day of Netflix.

The first thing you have to know about the pair it comes with an elastic c-ring included. Do you have to wear it? Nope you sure don’t but its there just in case! I am not a fan of them so I didn’t put it on under the pair. Which I give WildmanT props for having this as an extra and not built in to the pair. Its great for guys like me who don’t care for them.

The material like the Moon briefs is a little thicker than most pairs of underwear. Its not totally uncomfortable. But some may not like the stiffer material. The design doesn’t have a built in pouch either. Which is usually a detraction for me but these fit me pretty well. They didn’t bind or constrict me. But note if you’re not a fan of thicker material you may stay away.

The sizing again is pretty standard. If you follow the chart I don’t think you will have many problems. I am on the upper end of the scale and they were a little snug but not too snug. They have consistent sizing across their collections.

Pros:

  • Great Design
  • Detachable C-Ring
  • comfy for a lazy day

Cons:

  • Stiffer material
  • No defined pouch

modusvivendi_navy_line_conseptual_hr_logo (4) copyModus Vivendi has just released the next part of its 2015 round-the-world campaign. You may remember that Modus Vivendi selected a number of outstandingly talented photographers and assigned them the task of interpreting and presenting the lines from the Greek brand’s 2015 collection. It’s a challenging, unique project, and one which has so far taken us to UK, USA, France, Greece and Spain.

This time we travel to Cuba, the second home of Kevin Slack, the charismatic Canadian photographer who was called on to shoot Modus Vivendi’s Navy Line. For Slack, a vacation in Cuba in 2000 turned into a photographic project that has continued for some 15 years. About the magical Caribbean island, Kevin says, “Cuba is a song in my head. My photography is a means to transmit the tempo, the rhythm, the chorus of that song. If my work transmits the smallest part of the charm, the sensuality and serenity and, yes, seduction that I feel when I am creating it, then I can be satisfied.” Slack chose the emblematic Mi Cayito beach, east of the capital Havana, and four models (Ricardo, Luis Angel, Omar and Jean) to create some outstanding photographic artwork that matches perfectly the spirit of the new Navy Line.

This new line from Modus Vivendi is all about summer. With a clear reference to the sea, the line features aqua blue and turquoise combined perfectly with white, in a range of unique underwear and loungewear. In the Navy Line you will also find some of the best-loved Modus Vivendi underwear designs, such as the Sumo brief, the Archaic brief and the Langot, in summer colour combinations. Fresh, sensual and classy, this line offers underwear and loungewear of supreme quality and comfort. Yours to discover!

9696-9712 _3_We talk a lot about boys who need extra room in the pouch. But what about those who have junk in the trunk and need extra room in the back. I wasn’t blessed with this problem but we have many readers who have this issue. They butt doesn’t fit in undies or they have to buy a size up. Andrew Christian has released his Twerk underwear line for Spring 2015. The Twerk line is specially designed for guys “with a fine ass.” That is the AC website words not mine!

The new Twerk line has three styles. The brief, boxer and C-ring Air Jock. The first two really need no explanation. The last probably does. The C-Ring Air Jock is a jock brief with a hole in the front for your junk to hang out. It’s The pair is designed not only to show off your assets but the front!

Andrew Christian has brought this collection back in three colors. They are black, white and neon yellow.

10996981_1016763891686253_1155223877635859617_oMore underwear/swimwear brands need to do runway shows. There are only a handful of them right now. I talked to Ca-Rio-Ca after the show and they told me they were a last minute fill in for LA Fashion Week. They basically had 48 hours to put together a runway show. It take brands weeks to get everything in order but Ca-Rio-Ca took the bull by the horns and embraced this as a challenge. It was a challenge they rocked!

I suggest you watch the video. The show looked like they had been working on it for weeks. It was very well done and a lot of fun. Gil, the owner, told me they did a casting at Wilhelmina Models Los Angeles. Casting is complete and they move to the show. It opened with Carnival dancers. Then the they showcased the amazing swim they have for this year.

10699811_10153317822761501_8376572145384599607_o

There are two highlights that stand out with the models. The first is the model who did the back flips down the runway and then a little break dancing. The second was the two models walking the young boy down the catwalk. We posted that picture on the blog a few weeks ago.

I hope we get to see them in another show soon! Watch the video it’s a little over 7 minutes and a lot of fun! The Ca-Rio-Ca store is open in LA, so if you’re in the area stop by!

WT71_Fuchsia_1It’s been a long time since I have tried a pair of WildmanT. I can’t remember what the last pair I had was, but the new collection that was released at the end of last year I really loved. It was a mix of swim and underwear. This time I got to give the underwear a spin and the pair I got to try is the WT71 Moon Short Brief.

I choose the Fuchsia color. Why you may ask? Well I love pink undies and this was pretty close to pint. Also, I love the design with the white band going from the side to across the back. It just looks great. When we go shop for underwear isn’t this what we want, undies that catch our eye and look awesome?WT71_Fuchsia_3

The pair like I said came in an amazing color. The black waistband and trim just makes this pair look perfect. If they had done a white I don’t think it would have the effect. Its sleek and fun to me. The pair is made out of a 94% cotton 6% spandex blend. When you first feel this fabric it seems a little thick. It makes you wonder if it will have the give of the spandex. If is kind of like a denim shirt feel, if you’ve had one. Its thick but still pliable.

So I ware this when I was in Vegas. So it was going to get a work out. In Vegas I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps if not more. Lucky this year they moved everyone together or I would have had much more walking. The weather in Vegas was 70 degrees so it wasn’t too hot. Wearing these running around the Mandalay Bay Convention center. They held up fine. The thick material wasn’t as restricting as thought it maybe. Granted it didn’t have a lot of give. So if you’re after a stretchy pair this may not be the pair for you.

Sizing was a little snug. I would say I’m right around a 40 waist right now and the upper limit sizing is 39. So that’s about right. I don’t think you will have too many issues with sizing. Over the years they have been consistent and never heard many issues with sizing. I hope to be back to a 36 by summer. Fingers crossed!

The design still is one of my favorites. This entire collection I love. I don’t know how Tim at WildmanT did it but he pulled off one of the collections I LOVE! The description says its a retro design, it maybe but I just see an amazing design all around!

Pros:

  • Fun Design
  • Amazing Color
  • Great use of Trim

Cons:

  • Was a bit snug
  • Some may not like the fabric

Most Comfortable Fit Ever
It’s New Underwear season! Over the next few weeks we’ll see a ton of new pairs released. One that has just been released is the new Medal collection from Teamm8! Teamm8 has created some fun pairs in the last year. The Touchdown was one that I loved the colors. They did a great job! Now they have a fun new collection called Medal.

Teamm8 bills this as the most comfortable fit yet. They say this because this is their first Microfiber collection. Meaning it’s made out of a 88% Nylon and 12% Lycra blend. The Medal collection is in a trunk and brief in 4 color combinations. The combinations are almost reverse of each other. Gunmetal and Coral are almost inverses of grey/white/coral and White and Brilliant Blue are color combinations of Black/White/Blue.

The waistband is a wide metallic band. The two bands are in gray and black. Each has the Teamm8 name in it with a matching color. It’s a great band and super stylish. One thing they note about the band is due to the firm waistband they recommend you go up a size. It’s great seeing a brand tell you to go up a size. This is great info to have when buying a pair.

You can find these pairs at the Teamm8 site. The brief retails for $33 AUD and $35 AUD for the trunk!

9736 _3_Singlets are one of the hottest things in the world of men’s activewear and eroticwear. Each year we see more and more of these being released. Andrew Christian is no stranger to the world of singlets! He’s released one that is super fun. That is the Glitz Singlet.

We won’t say where to wear this pair. We will leave that up to you to figure out! But this is what AC says about the singlet: “You’re part athlete, part dancing disco diva… and fully sexy. We understand you. That’s why we’ve brought you the all new stunning Glitz Singlet. In shining, shimmering metallic silver, this piece let’s you be everything you want to be, and let’s everyone in the room know that you’ve arrived. Its super-stretchy material leaves you feeling comfortable, and the bright neon contrast leaves you feeling more confident than ever.”

The material will catch the light and it will create a prismatic effect on the fabric. The gold/yellow trim is a perfect match for this singlet. The neon trim will also glow in black light. It is low cut and has a built in pouch that should fit a guy of any size. This is also a limited edition pair, so if you want it get it fast before its gone.

The Glitz singlet retails for $43.96 at the Andrew Christian site.

11108949_494382757379703_12847538714898931_nColby you have been around the world of men’s underwear/swim wear for a while. You have done videos for a few companies and more recently cheapundies.com. What made you team up with your boyfriend, Rocco Ybarra, and start a line? Who’s idea was it and how did the conversation happen?

I have been trying to get a line started for almost a year now. Rocco also had interest in starting a line. We decided to team up and utilize each others strengths and make our dream a reality. We both have similar bold styles and love of prints so it was an easy process.

Your have done something really different from other brands and are using fun prints. I am loving the Hammerhead print, what made you guys go with prints? Why did you choose such fun and whimsical prints? 

I think menswear has been kept in a very bland place for a long time. I think with the LGBT movement and the emergence of metrosexuals, men are finally ready to wear clothes with personality. At least that’s what we want, and we couldn’t find it in the market so we decided to do it ourselves.

soar clothing 1

Do you guys have a favorite print out of the collection? While you are out have you spotted anyone in pubic at the beach/pool in you swearing SOAR yet? 

My favorite is either the hammerheads or the cherries. Roccos favorite is the hammerheads. When we were in Miami we had a couple people come up to us on the beach wanting to know where we got them and asked to purchase some on the spot. Luckily we had some with us!

What has been the biggest challenge you guys have faced and over come producing the initial collection?

The biggest challenge has been putting together all the bits and pieces it takes to launch a collection. There are over a hundred steps to just get the initial run up. You really have to be dedicated and realize that the process takes 6 months or longer before you start seeing any sort of return on your work.

The collection is super fun what feed back are you getting from the industry and from potential customers? 

Everyone has loved it so far! The only request we have gotten is for more!

Soar Clothing 2

In our previous post you said you have shorts and shirts coming and a Onesie. So can you give us a hint at what the onesie will be like? 

I can say that the onesie is technically underwear, but meant to be worn as street wear. You’ll be able to wear it to the grocery store, the club, or Sunday Funday!

Thanks for you time guys. Just in case our readers don’t know where to find your brand SOAR, where can they find you guys online.

anatoly-petitq_02Don’t you hate it when you get some great pictures and you forget to run them? The boys at PetitQ sent me these and I thought I ran them earlier this week. How they keep finding incredible models is a secret I want to know! This features Anatoly Goncharov.

Anatoly Goncharov is a russian hunk taking over internet with his sexy shots. These new photos were taken by photographer Telma Saturday in a fancy appartment in Moscow. They show Anatoly’s gorgeous body and face in some sexy poses wearing the very provocative PetitQ collection.

Showyour sexy sideI will admit one of my favorite things about underwear is you can express your style no matter what you are wearing. You can be in coveralls or a suit but still can wear something skimpy fun and sexy. No one else will know. And there is something fun about wearing underwear no one would expect you to wear.

A few weeks back we brought you some of Cosmos Colors from BangX. The brand is not afraid to show some bright colors and metallics. The cuts range from turns to thongs! The collection is just fun. You can tell they love what they do and bring that passion to the production. It’s also very different from a lot of other brands on the market.

Cosmos Colors is fresh and original. Their style reminds me of Modus Vivendi, I say this because they are taking their own way of designing underwear. Modus Vivendi took their Greek culture and put a fresh spin on the world of underwear. The designs of Cosmos Color can seem out there, but it all meshes into a cohesive collection of underwear. You can tell each pair is distinctly Comos Colors. If you wear Cosmos Colors and people see it, we can almost guarantee that people will ask who the brand is and where they can buy it.

So who is Cosmos Color. They came to life by three women. One was a financier, one a designer and one a manger. Their goal was to color the world of men and make it fun and sexy. The second goal was to not only reach men on their continent but all over the world and the universe.  The collection was designed by Çiğdem ÖZDİNDAR. he is a designer who prefers to use striking colors and new materials in the men’s underwear industry. The fabrics were dyed specially for Cosmos Colors, so that’s why you won’t see similar fabrics in other collection.

Cosmos Colors hopes to continue to surprise you and everyone with new collections. If you want to find them go check out the Cosmos Colors website.

 

cocksox sheer rangeCocksox is known for their super sexy underwear. Just when I thought they couldn’t get any sexier they release the Sheer collection. You maybe asking “Is it 100% sheer?” No, it’s not showing all your business out in the open but a more subtle mesh. From a distance you may not tell it’s mesh but the closer you get the more you will show off!  In fact the tag line for this collection is “for those who like to Tease to Please.”

easter_2015

I saw this collection in Vegas. It looked amazing there but now that I see it on the model  WOW! It’s even hotter. The mesh is available in the CX01 (bikini) CX16 (Bikini), CX68 (trunk) and CX76 (sport brief). Each of these are some of their best selling styles. My personal favorite is the CX01. The fabric is an Italian fabric specially sought for this line. The mesh adds just a bit more sex appeal to the line!

The Sheer range is only available in black and Aqua Splash. Aqua Splash is a lighter blue. This I believe is the cost of the fabric and availability of colors. I would love to see this in a red or dark blue, but that’s my wishful thinking! But regardless the range is awesome and fun!

Cocksox says “get you through the day, the night & the morning after!” We are going to show you each of the pairs and colors. You can also click each image to go to the Cocksox page to purchase each style and color!

JOCK REVIEWLast week His Jock asked me would I be willing to try out their Jock of the Month Club and review it and a new jock every month. Who am I to say no to a new jock every month for free! So I gladly accepted their offer. So many maybe asking what is a Jock of the Month club? It is where you get sent a new pair of underwear every month. So His Jock picks a pair and send them out to all subscribers. Don’t worry if you aren’t a big jock fan they have other styles you can choose from. It’s kind of like a mystery surprise every month (that is if you don’t look at the monthly selection).

The first jock I received was the Garçon Model Watson Jock. Which was great because we have reviewed the brand Watson-2garcon_model_underwear_Jockstraps_grandebut I never tried a pair. I was very happy to give it a try. The Watson jock is part of the South Beach collection. That means it has some bright colors involved. The color that is the accent is Neon Green. It has it in the waistband, the trip around the pouch and the leg straps. I really loved this accent. It’s super fun and will catch anyone’s attention who sees it.

I put the pouch on and it gave me one worry. The pouch seemed a bit snug. I wasn’t sure how well this was going to translate into a full day’s wear. But I has a few errands to run and went out to start my day. The jock pouch actually held up pretty well. What I thought was a little snug didn’t translate into any distraction while wearing them. The pouch felt like any other I had worn. This really impressed me big time!

The sizing was pretty good on this pair. I wear an XL and the sizing said waists 40-42. It was a bit snug but not too tight. So you should be good if you check the size guide. It runs pretty true to the sizes listed.

Would you see this pair at the gym? I honestly would wear as would some of our readers. It wouldn’t go with a pair of white shorts but why should you not wear something fun to the gym. The fabric is 82% nylon, 18% elastane. Which make it amazingly comfy and felt great. I loved the waistband as well. The grey with the bright green just pops to me. Making it super fun!

Pros:

  • Fun color combination
  • Made out of soft material
  • Fit great thought the day

Cons:

  • Some many not like bright colors
  • The pouch may seem small

Ratings:

  • Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction – 9
  • Styling – 9
  • Daily Performance – 9
  • Overall – 8.6

This pair was furnished for review by HisJock. You can find it in the Jock of the Month Club this month. Buy it directly from His Jock for $26.00
