Ilde is a swimwear company I discovered on Tumblr. There are a few underwear/swimwar Tumblrs that i love checking out. One of my favorite’s had a few pictures of Ilde. I had to find them and looked them up. They have some amazing prints as well as solids. It’s a very cool line and I am reaching out to them to get more information on them! Enjoy the pic for the time being. Find them at the Ilde Swimwear page
2EROS has an amazing style! How Jason designs a lot of what he puts out just boggles my mind! He has a feel on what looks amazing on a guy. The cuts, designs and colors just accent a man’s body so freaking well. The new Beach swimwear fits the bill on that as well.
As you can see the new Beach swimwear is kind of a throwback to the logo deign they have used in the past on the Icon series. The 2EROS logo is center on the back and accents your assets! This pair however has a nautical theme so in each part of the logo is a sailboat and anchor. It’s an evolution of the design that is just super fun.
The Beach is a low rise swim brief. So don’t expect a competition cut swim brief, it will have smaller coverage and for many of you out there this is a bonus. The colors they have available are Navy and Gold. There is one small detail that 2EROS does that I really love. That is the drawstring. They put aglets on the end of the string that are 2eros branded.
The Beach is available now at the 2EROS site for $54.95 AUD. It’s super fun and hope to see many of you out there wearing it this year.
As many of you know, a year ago, Bike Europe made the brilliant decision to do a limited edition run of the Bike #10 jockstrap. They called it the Vintage Throwback Edition, and it was awesome in every aspect. As expected, they sold out in no time. Well, by popular demand (and constant begging) Bike Europe has done a second run of only 6000 and Jockstrap Central has them – and at an special 10% off relaunch pricing.
This Vintage Edition is styled after the original made first in 1874 and with a special throwback insert for the clamshell packaging, this is truly a collector’s item. They’re sure to sell out fast.
It’s everything you expect of your #10 – with a woven moisture wicking pouch that’s soft out of the box and with this Throwback Edition, Bike didn’t go crazy on the bleach so it already looks like a vintage jock you’ve been wearing for years with it’s antique white coloring.
This #10 Jockstrap also has the tough and snug full 3 inch wide white waistband you expect necessary to give you all the support you need. Finally, it wouldn’t be a number 10 without the centered outside label and signature black and red striping.
With a limited run and Jockstrap Central’s special relaunch pricing we probably don’t have to tell you to snap these up quickly before they’re gone again.”

New Pikante is out. We brought you a brief overview of the new line this week! But if you want to see the entire line go to the GDD World Site!
The first is a new line we have introduced last week called “Leather Line“. The name refers to the Leather Flag the colours of which sparked the inspiration to Christos Bibitsos to create this line. The line comprises underwear (briefs, boxers and jocks) and athletic wear (sweat shorts, tank top and henley shirt). The colours: blue, black and a touch of red! The underwear are a natural continuation of the already best selling Bear line with the Boost Briefs, boxers and jocks in new colours. The Athletic wear matched the underwear and are items that you can wear at the gym as well as pretty much everywhere. I have attached some product shots from this line (all images starting with 135) for you.
Second, something that happens not very often at Modus Vivendi is that we have items on sale! There is a special section on our website with items up to 70% off! All these items are discontinued which means once they are gone they are gone. I have attached the promo artwork for the sales. In this section you can find underwear, swimwear, athletic wear, loungewear and accessories. There are more than 150 (!) items there to choose from.
Adrian C. Martin sent us some pics he did of St33le. These feature Christopher García who is 28 yo and he’s a professional Jui-Jitsu fighter. These were shot in Tenerife.
Not every $12 Tuesday is underwear. Sometimes like today it’s a Tee! We all need some Tee’s every now and then. This week’s special is the Light Yoga Tee. Check out the other sales on the Specials page including underwear and swimwear! Find this and more on the Baskit site
This post is a week later than normal. There are two reasons for the delay. The fist is we had our UNB Awards this past week and the second is I came down with Bronchitis in Vegas. Let me tell you there is nothing worse than being out of town and being sick. The good part is I didn’t get full on bronchitis till after the shows were over! So Thursday night it hit me.
Magic Week is always a blast for me. I LOVE catching up with everyone and seeing what is new. In attendance this year was Baskit, 2EROS, Freedom Reigns, Radical Element (new company), Mundo Uncio, Gregg Homme, Cocksox, Bwet, Tribe, Go Softwear, Fit-in-1, Wood Underwear, Timoteo, Jack Adams, Baskit, Mossman Underwear, Andrew Christian, Papi, 2(X)ist, N2N Bodywear, Pistol Pete, Junk UnderJeans and more!
There was one big change this year that didn’t sit well with the brands. Magic moved everyone together in Project (part oft he magic show) where its more trendy and whats hot in the world of fashion. This was good for me because I didn’t have to walk from one side of the convention center and back. But, they told everyone they shouldn’t have models. Which is one of the reasons for going. So we have just one video this year from magic that will be out in Mid March. It was from the one brand not at Magic but showing in a suite. Many of the brands were told they could have models and already hired them. Then the first day of the show, show officials came around and told brand they couldn’t have shirtless models. We will see what happens next year but many were not happy.
Another big change is the partnership between Curve/Magic. On the last day of the show I received an email that Curve had teamed up with Magic. So the Curve show will be a “strategic partnership” with Magic and become an part of Magic in August. That means it will move from the Sands Convention Center/Venetian to the Las Vegas Convention center. It will remain a separate show but be part of Magic. I am still wondering how they are going to do this. It also fueled speculation that the mens’ underwear brands maybe moved to Curve again.
Some of the high lights for me this week and there were many:
So what is coming in the world of underwear and Swimwear? Well I can’t tell everything I saw. But underwear has some great colors and prints coming this year. Some of the new styles I saw just blew me away. Some are amazingly sexy while others are classic. A hint, about the new N2N Bodywear, they have some amazing pairs in the Erotic collection coming. Speaking of Erotic, the new Gregg Homme as always blows me away. How Eric does it is beyond me.
As for swim. There is one company using some unconventional swimwear materials in styles I haven’t see before. You have to wait till summer for more info. I”m dying to tell you guys! 2eros and Teamm8 both have amazing prints out right now. The colors 2EROS uses together amazes me how Jason does it. Teamm8 has made some super amazing prints.
As for new brands there is one that really impressed me. They are Radical Element out of Los Angeles. They are a swimwear company that embraces LA. They have created their own prints and have amazing style. If i had a new best brand they would win it for Magic. The owner impressed me and I will have more on them soon.
This is just a quick overview. I am following up this week with companies and firming up release dates. Mid March will be our video and hopefully have a lot more for you!
Today’s Brief Distraction features two of our favorites Modus Vivendi and photog Tom Culls. This he did back in November for the Military line.
Are you a fan of really fun and interesting underwear? If you are then you need to check out some of the new Pikante! The brand has always had super fun pairs. Remember the solider/camo inspired from a few years ago? This year is no different. The collection has a lot of “Dare to wear”
What is “dare to wear”? Its a collection made up of a lot of minimal coverage, mesh, cut outs, thong and pairs that show off your business. I mean nothing is left to the imagination with some of the pairs. To some of our readers you are going to love this collection. We have a ton of guys who read who love these undies. If you aren’t one guy who loves it well just enjoy some pics.

Pink is one of my all time favorite colors of underwear. Since as far as I can remember I have loved it. After I found my first pair I sought out other pairs. At times it has been super hard to find but in the last 5 years it has been a big color in men’s underwear. Like it or hate the trend it’s not going anywhere.
ErgoWear has released a new limited edition series in just pink. The limited edition is limited to just the thong, brief and boxer. So it’s not a super huge pink collection but is in three of their favorite styles. Each of these styles has the amazing Ergowear pouch that has to be one one of the pairs I will always recommend. The pink is now just an added bonus!
If you are looking to try Ergowear and love pink, there is no better time to try them. You can get an amazing color and a pair of underwear with an awesome pouch! You can find these on the Ergowear website.
2wink has created some super fun swimwear and underwear over the last year! When I was in Vegas last week they sent me an email about the Pit Crew line. This line definitely fits in with the rest of the underwear they have in their collection. They have their own style and creativity that shows in everything they do.
The Pit Crew briefs have a distinct pattern made for the Pit Crew line. It’s a black background with a white and blue print on the fabric. It’s different and pretty cool to me. Patterns and prints is one of the hottest trends in men’s underwear. 2wink is doing their thing that really shines through.
The material of the Pit Crew line is one of my favorites. They have chosen a modal material that will feel amazing on your skin! That paired with the 2wink black waistband and black leg trim make it an amazing pair.
The Pit Crew line is just in the black print and is available for $21.95 AUD from the 2wink site.
Don’t forget you have 2 Day’s left to vote in the UNB Reader Awards! You can vote for the nominations or write in your own favorite. The winners will be named on Wednesday next wee. Vote at out UNB Awards page!
Underwear can be full cut or minimal. Some of our readers really love the latter. Thongs, jocks and smaller briefs are the name of the game for them.

There are not straps, attachment or anything. Your business fits in the cup and hangs!
“aussieBums ‘Seamless Sports Cup’, is the latest in underwear innovation. The full garment, including waistband, is made from a seamless premium micro-fibre with stretch and is tag-free for absolute comfort, making it ideal for both general and active wear”
The Sports Cup is available in 3 colors. Those colors are blue, navy and red. It retails for just $10.24 at the aussieBum site. If you are a fan check it out at the aussieBum site.
PetitQ is one of those companies that has a fun way of looking at underwear. This year they did a run way show featuring the 2015 collection!

The wet and miserable winter the UK havs suffered is showing no signs of disappearing any time soon. Luckily shoppers don’t need to brave the elements to enjoy the new season delights arriving at men’s underwear specialist website Deadgoodundies.com. Here are some highlights from this month’s newcomers.
A picture can’t really do justice to this metallic marvel. The glittering pattern is created with clouds of gold, silver and copper for a super shiny look.
Mundo Unico Manaos Brief GBP19.00
The spring Mundo Unico underwear and swimwear has breezed onto the DGU site and UK gents seem keen to grab pastel coloured underpants like this colourful cotton slip.
Bruno Banani Colour Code Hip Short GBP23.50
Can’t choose your ideal colour this season? This designer brand is here to help with this paint chart inspired print!
Manstore M455 Grope Pants GBP36.00
This European collection is proving hot property this month with a host of stunning releases including this petrol blue boxer brief. The naughty shorty grants access to the pouch through open pockets at the side.
HOM Strawberry Boxer Brief GBP33.00
When these trunks are warm or are rubbed they emit a tasty fruity fragrance. All this wrapped up in a neat microfibre shorty from those fine designers at HOM. The men of the UK are really whetting their appetites with this one!
This great value animal print string is proving hugely popular with male shoppers this side of the pond. Luckily DGU have restocked fast to avoid disappointing undies fans.
Male Power’s two best selling designs are by far their Moonshine Jockstrap and their Zipper Short (still in production!). They’re undeniably sexy and both fly off the Jockstrap Central shelves as fast as they arrive. But now, Male Power is back with new versions: It’s the Radical Sport Zipper Moonshine Jockstrap and the Radical Sport Zipper Short which adds a front zipper to the Moonshine and making them both in a soft, slinky and stunning striped fabric in either slate-blue and black or wine and black. We love them.
The Male Power Radical Sport Moonshine Jockstrap has a low-rise brief front but gets its “moonshine” name from the back – the best way to describe it is a brief back with a big hole cut out for your “moon” to shine. As mentioned, the fabric is striped and the stripes help to accentuate the contours of your package and because it’s nylon and spandex, it’s super soft feeling almost like silk against your boys (they’ll love you for it!). And new to the Moonshine design is the zipper in the front pouch so now your front can be as exposed as your rear.
The Male Power Radical Sport Zipper Short, just like the original, has a low rise trunk cut and a very noticeable front zipper pouch for easy access. The spandex nylon combo not only feels great against your boys but it stretches in all the right places making this one hot go go short that’s sure to draw attention. And speaking of drawing attention, like the jock, the striped fabric although subtle does its job of highlighting every contour of your package.
Both designs includes a welcome extra fabric backing behind the zipper to help prevent things getting caught, but please still be careful!
Jockstrap Central’s big hunky model and fitness trainer Tristian is back to put the new Male Gear through their paces so be sure to head on over and enjoy the view.”
