IS_LFHR_Billy_maze-red_01_150209150630aussieBum just refreshed the Billy Boy range. If your’e not familiar the Billy Boy line is a series of bikinis. They released them last year and has retro prints from the 80’s. This made the line super fun. Then they released some solids, but I”m glad the awesome prints are back. They really fit this line very well.

The new prints are Maze and Polaris. The maze prints are pretty straight forward. It’s a maze design with bright colors and either a white or black background. I”m not sure you’ll be able to find the end of the maze in this design! The Polaris is more of a kaleidoscope design. Its funky, fun and different. The back grounds in this one are green and white.

This line really makes me happy. aussieBum always makes undies that fit a guys personality. If you want basic, they have it and if you want something wilder you now have these amazing prints. Its also good to see a true bikini on the market. This reminds me of the great bikinis during the 80’s. They are slowly making a come back and I am glad to se it. These are on my list to get!

They retail for almost $13 on the aussieBum site. Get one or get them all!

Nukleus-Underwear-01

This week while I am at magic we are bringing you 9 brands we think you should know and Nukleus is the first. These brands, some of you may have heard of but others may not. A few we have mentioned on the blog but never gone into much detail. So we hope you enjoy this segment and maybe find a new brand to try.

Nukleus is a brand I am familiar with only because BikiniboiATL on Twitter has posted pics in the line and loves them. Other than that I am not very familiar with them. Who is Nukleus? They are a brand out of Penang, Malaysia. They make both environmentally but socially responsible products. How do that do this? “Using innovative and sustainable production methods, we make innerwear and basics from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, Lenzing Tencel and organic bamboo.”

Nukleus-Underwear-02

This is really great an underwear company is not only in the business to make great underwear. They want give back to the environment and people who supply their raw materials. But how does this transform into great undies? Well they have a few collections right now including the Rebirth Collection (feat. Earth, Tree and See series), Fruit Series (feat. Blueberry, Honeydew, Mangosteen, Watermelon, The Quintet (Metal, Plant, Water, Fireand Earth series).

  • The Rebirth Collection – The Rebirth Collection is for the man who never goes out of style. Classic and time-honoured, this collection is designed for the eternal Nukleus man: age defying and unaffected by mortal limitations.
  • The Fruit Series – Enjoy the fruits that are grown near you. They’re fresher, tastier, better. That’s because they’re closer to you in space and time. Which in turn means less environmental impact. Local fruits: good for you, good for Earth. Just like Nukleus.
  • The Quintet – In The Quintet, Nukleus takes an unconventional look at this critical issue. Covering five facets of our planet, the collection alludes to Asian stories about how we can restore balance or prevent the unbalance from worsening. All in all, these stories offer grounds for hope and optimism – that it isn’t too late to act, that we can still make a difference.

 

Each of these is fashionable and good for the environment. Where can you find the brand? Well it is available on Ebay (where BikiniboiATL gets his). Which is the easiest way to get them in the US. Search Ebay but you can go to the Nukleus website to find out more about each line.

Pink Underwear is one of my favorite colors to wear. Its not because it’s bucking the masculine color or its wild. But, because I look great in pink. Guys have been wearing pink since the 80’s and men’s underwear has incorporated the color in their line up in the last 10 years.
So if you want to wear pink, what are some choices right now? I have a few favorites that you should check out that feature a variety of styles. So there is one in here for everyone.

I am curious to know what pink pairs you guys love. Leave a comment and let me know

tof-catMany of our readers are familiar with Tom of Finland. If you’re not he’s an erotic artist who became well known in the 70’s and 80’s. His hyper masculine men became a icon in the gay world. The leather jacket and cut off shorts became trade marks of his art work. The artist who drew Tom of Finland, Touko Laaksonen, died in 1991. But the Tom of Finland legacy lives on.

Rufskin has a new limited edition collection based on Tom of Finland. The designs incorporate some of the artwork and others are just inspired by the brand. Ruskin is a perfect fit for a Tom of Finland collaboration. The brand has often reminded me of Tom of Finland. Its sexy but always masculine. There is a range from shirts to underwear in this collection. Ruskin used their own style to mesh with the iconic Tom of Finland. The new collection is limited edition so it won’t be around long. If you are a fan of the line then shop early.

I think this is great for Ruskin and is a super sexy collection. Check it out at the Tom of Finland page on the Ruskin site. Pics are the entire collection.

GMACxCAZ-Trio-uncroppedThis week we got the chance to talk to Cazwell, the hip hop artist/dj, behind the hit “Ice Cream Truck.” The music video has over 9 million views on YouTube. So how do you go from being artist to starting your own underwear line? We had to chance to talk to Cazwell this week and here is what we found out.

We asked him how did you decide to come up with an underwear line? He said he wasn’t an underwear connoisseur . He never spent $30 for underwear in the past and he was one of the few guys who bought underwear in three packs. When approached by Geoffrey Mac about a line, they originally talked about doing basketball shorts and a shirt line. But, instead he told Geoffrey Mac he always wanted to do an underwear line. He brought an idea to the table about a line based on his name but nothing stuck. Then they decided to go with the Ice Cream Truck idea. Once the idea as hatched Caswell went to work on the brand.

I asked him what the most difficult thing was about starting a brand. He spoke of the waistband was hardest things to get right. Being a small brand on a limited budget they couldn’t do some of their ideas. Big brands have the ability to embroider underwear waistbands but they did a creative approach. They made it reminds you of the old ice cream shops, including stripes and sprinkles. Cazwell said the bands will look great because they took the time finding right elastic band that would take the colors. They also look good when stretched but not deteriorate the color. The goal was to have it to look good and feel good.

Then I asked him what the best thing about starting a brand. He said the possibilities are endless like music. He likes to work with themes in writing music, designing clothing or party planning. When it was determined that Ice cream truck it was going to be a theme. The underwear is super cute without being over the top. Has a retro 50’s ice cream truck. Cazwell pointed out that he likes it when you see the underwear pop out under jeans or basket ball short. This leads into the future plans. He said they hope to expand colors and maybe go into swimwear!

I really enjoyed talking to Cazwell. He’s very grounded and I can tell is having fun with the underwear line. The original colors are a lot of fun. The line will hopefully grow and we will see the swimwear! Because swimwear inspired by ice cream I can see some amazing things happen! You can check out the Ice Cream Truck underwear line and order now!

IMG_7814Sukrew is a brand I have seen for a while on Twitter. They were first known for crotchless briefs and trunks These styles are called the U Brief or Trunk. But over the last year they have added some full briefs and trunks. The colors and patterns (tartan and Union Jack) have always caught my eye. So I was dying to try them.

Last week I got to talk to the owner and designer about the brand. We talked about his brand and how he got started. They have some good things planned for 2015. So he sent me two pairs. The Tartan Brief and Neon Pink UV Brief. Yes I decided to take one for the team and try the UV brief. There has been some requests on Twitter for us to try them out.

The two pairs came and I was super excited. Especially when I got the Tartan Brief. Have you ever slid a pair on and before they were all the way on you knew the pair would be awesome. This is what I felt with the Sukrew briefs. Then when I got them on they felt so amazing. The pouch, which was my biggest point of concern, fit me amazing. The way it held me was more ergonomically designed and was deciding on how well it stretched and conformed to me. The nylon material was one that I wasn’t sure how well it would fit.

Another area I had concern was the waistband. The band is a bit larger than most brands on underwear. So my biggest concern was that it would roll or bind through the day. I loved the design of the band the blew with the off set Sukrew name is pretty awesome. As the day went on I totally forgot what I was wearing. Which is how great underwear should be. You shouldn’t have a second thought about what you are wearing.

The Tartan print is awesome and fun. Its one of my favorite fabrics of far of 2015! The pouch is a matching red so it will draw attention to what you are packing. Which in certain situations is not a bad thing. The back is a full cut and never rode up during the day. The bikini cut just fit me very well. I will say I was impressed how well it fit.

The sizing pretty spot on. Just note the lowest they go is a 30 waist. So if you are smaller you maybe out of luck. I wore an XL and have about a 38-40 waist right now. Being tall it it me pretty well. I don’t think you will have many issues with sizing. It looks smaller when you take it out, than it actually is.

Pros:
  • Amazing Tartan print
  • Great Fabric
  • Superb pouch
  • Amazing performance
Cons:
  • Some may not like the pattern
  • Waistband maybe bigger than some guys may like
Ratings:
  • Daily Fit – 10
  • Sizing – 10
  • Construction – 10
  • Daily Performance – 10
  • Overall – 10

This pair gets a perfect 10. I am getting more of Sukrew and will have the UV Brief review for you soon. This pair was furnished for review by Sukrew and is available for £19.99 at their site.

We are a big fan of guys in swim briefs. This was brought to our attention this week. The 2015 USF Kappa Sigma Bachelor Auction created a video for their event. They put some production behind the video and the brothers of Kappa Sigma were rocking the Swim Briefs. I say good job guys and they raised over $2,000 in profits. Next year I say you do a video like this and raise money online too! You would make a killing!

PiseJock-Arthus

Yesterday the boys at PetitQ showed us some great pics of their underwear on some amazing acrobats! Today we bring you the new line that was just released. PetitQ is a brand that is not afraid to show more skin than just about any other line. They are creative, erotic and super sexy.

My definition of the brand is “ultra skimpy”. They have a very unique take on underwear. Arthus and Nico have made underwear that seems to defy the laws of physics! Pouches that seem to float and pairs you go “how does that stay on?” It is some of the most creative I have seen on the market. They always seem to amaze me with all their designs.

The new collection builds on the previous ones. There are about a dozen new pairs in the collection. I am going to focus on few pairs that stick out for me.

The picture above features the Jockstrap Pise. The pair has a pouch and just one strap that attaches in the back. The front is just a bit off center, here it attaches and that gives it a wrap around effect. So it’s sort of a hybrid of a jock and thong.

We profiled this picture yesterday but it called the Bikini Bondage (on right). It’s a brief with straps that come off the waistband and go down the leg. Its fun and is not something you may wear to work but a fun night or maybe one where you stay in!

Anthony-ArthusNico

Maybe you want a pair that you could wear to work. The Brief Anthony is a pair that has a solid base but a pouch of a different color. So those who you want to see it, their eyes will be drawn to the important areas, without showing it all off!

Where can you see the full collection? Check out the page on GDD World PetitQ page!

 

nasty-pig-imprintNasty Pig is back with Imprint, their first collection for 2015 and Jockstrap Central has their fan favorite model Trent taking them for a test drive. Imprint is a stripped down back to basics collection of low rise jockstraps and briefs. This is pure Nasty Pig and is sure to become a classic. As Nasty Pig says, black and white never goes out of style, it’s a timeless look that always feels modern and it goes with everything you own. A bold and sexy design guaranteed to leave a high impact impression.

It’s pretty obvious that this is some hot looking gear but beyond style, in both the jock and brief you’ll find a snug fitting contoured pouch, double walled for extra durability and made with Nasty Pig’s signature ribbed cotton with a hint of spandex for comfort, fit and stretch. Edged with black piping for pouch structure and visual impact.

And speaking of visual impact, don’t worry, with the big bold Nasty Pig logos at the front and sides of Imprint’s super plushed comfort waistband, it will be hard not to get noticed.

Finally, timed perfectly with the launch of Imprint, Nasty Pig has released new black or white versions of their best selling Baller Socks so you can mix and match between jocks, briefs and socks for a total Nasty Pig look.

To sum it up: Sexy fitness instructor and model Trent in some of Nasty Pig’s hottest creations yet photographed by Jockstrap Central. This is something not to be missed so be sure to check it out.

005

There is a new brand on the market called Mandies. The name maybe a little odd but the undies are a lot of fun. The new line has a lot of interesting skimpy designs with some bright bold colors. The line has as a bit of an Asian feel to me. I say this because of the colors are a bit more on the pastel side and the design has a lot of cut outs. Its not designs we see on the US market that often.

The designs have different cuts from what we see. Sure it has some cut outs but the way it’s put together creates interesting designs with the way they construct the garment. The use of colors, prints and accents play a big role in this brand. I really love the design of this brand and think is very innovative. Instead of talking about the line I am going to show you some of the pairs I love!

The main picture here features the Candy Apple Thong. Which is appropriate since he’s eating a candy apple! The pouch is suspended below the waistband with two straps and a traditional thong strap in the back.

012 (3)Vertigo Boxer Thong – This is something interesting. I have seen boxer jocks but a Boxer Thong is a new category. The colors in the Black are awesome with the pink waistband and the minimal back with the string running down the middle. Its super fun.

024 (2)Octopus Jockstrap – You think it’s a thong but the back has a very interesting design. The minimal pouch in the front goes around back with a jock look but has an additional strap across the top with two cut outs.

This line is super creative and fun. If you want to check it out go to the GDD World site to see all the pairs in the initial collection. Go under Brands then Mandies!
