515f1f8a974f83e9ba599e60709fb28aWe all love underwear, or you wouldn’t be reading this blog. There are brands that I know in years of following underwear that I think you guys should definitely know. ErgoWear is one of those brands. I have had several pairs of them even before I started UNB. They were well made and super comfortable. Some of you out there may already know the brand but those who don’t, here is a brief introduction.

The main thing you need to know about them is they have an ergonomically designed pouch. Meaning it’s designed to fit a guy and feel natural. They don’t use straps or anything else in the pouch to “enhance” you. It’s all done in a natural way that will give you the enhance without the hassle. I think the enhance is just a side effect of the underwear. I LOVE a great pouch, and ones that have enough room but give you support are hard to find. ErgoWear has always done this very well.

You maybe asking well what kind of styles do they man. Insert a “I’m a (insert style) kind of guy, and hate (insert style).” Well you are in luck, because they make their amazing pouch in every style. The styles range from long boxer briefs to thongs and everything in between. No pair lacks the amazing pouch.

As a side note they do make swimwear but for this post we are just focusing on the underwear. The very first pair I ever had was the X3D bikini. It’s made out of a nylon spandex blend and is white. For the life of me I don’t recall where I bought it from. I has been in my collection since the mid 2000’s. I always love wearing it and it’s still in rotation in my underwear collection. I am going to get a few new pairs of the brand coming up soon!

So if you want some great underwear check out Ergowear. It has an amazing pouch in every style you could ever want!

cx02-bling-1

Did you miss this pair the first go round? Well the CX02 in Gold. This is a pair that would be perfect for Christmas! Either for yourself or your favorite guy. This is swimwear and not underwear. Granted you could wear it as underwear! But could you imagine wearing this on the beach? First the Cocksox pouch will definitely get attention, but add the gold color and BAM you are instant center of attention.

This will be good news to some of our readers. Because I have seen some selfies on Twitter/Instagram and know some of you want to show it off and be seen showing it off! So if you want this pair ACT FAST, it’s $42 on the Cocksox site, which is the only place you will find it!

Pisol PeteI know we have a ton of jock fans out there. Some of you guys love a traditional jock. A traditional jock is defined by the thick waistband (usually around 3 inches) a pouch and leg straps around 1 inch wide. These days these jocks are getting harder to find in fashion colors. Pistol Pete has created the Devious Jock for the lovers of the traditional jock.

This jock is the traditional cut but updated to put the Pistol Pete spin on it. The waist band has a white, red and black strip with the Pistol Pete name written in the white. It also has a drawstring in the waist band. The jock main color comes in Black or Red. And is available for $26.00

This jock has the Pistol Pete spin on it and is one you could wear to the gym or sporting event. Heck you could even wear your favorite jeans. It’s great to see a traditional jock back in the world of men’s underwear!

Are you a fan of fetishwear? You know really fun underwear/gear that you can wear out to a bar, around the house or even to work. Who said you had to have boring underwear at work! If you are then you already know about Cellblock13. They just released the new Enforcer line.

The first thing you notice with the Enforcer line is the new waistband. The new branded waistband is awesome. Cellblock13 is written across the front and the band is a main color with thin white stripe at the bottom. I really like this band and the font the brand name is written. The other colors available are blue, green, red and orange. They are different colors form the red, yellow that has become a staple of the brand.

This line is 7 different pairs. Which for a new line is HUGE! There is the Enforcer Pant and Jock Pant. The cut is an updated one that has been featured in other lines but updated for the new colors. The Jock Pant has the back side cut out! The other styles are the Trunk, Cruising Jock, Jock Brief, Brief, and Enforcer Jock. You maybe asking whats the difference between the Cruising Jock and the regular jock? The regular jock is a classic cut of a 3 inch waistband that you see in many old school jocks. It has a tag in the front rather than the Cellblock13 name in the band.

Each of these are super fun and a great line. You can find it at retailers or the Cellblock13 site.

frankdandy long johnsIt’s that time of the year where warmth outweighs fashion in just about everything! However, Frank Dandy will change your mind on that after seeing these long johns. They are one of the more creative companies when it comes to patterns an prints. They usually have fun and whimsical prints in their collections each year. This year is no exception.

They have 10 different prints (4 of my favorites posted above) and 3 solids. I think if your’e going to get the long johns you gotta go for the prints. I mean there are a ton of solids out there! My favorite is the first, which is a print of toy Robots and called Robots. It also comes in a red back ground! I love this print so much.

My second favorite is the red, white and blue striped (3rd in the line) called the Honest Al striped, and one to the left is the Honest Al Block both are super fun. I love the red pouch on the block! My last favorite is the Big Bro stripe. All amazingly fun and festive. You will be warm and stylish at the same time.

All the Frank Dandy printed long johns are $59 and the slide are $39. So be warm and stylish at once!

Garcon_Model_Jocks_Collection_Fashion_Fun_5

Garçon Model released a new line of Jocks! They are similar to the SoBe line that came out this year. That is they are bright, colorful and fun. They have the same waistband as other pairs. The classic GM waistband! Which has become one of my favorite waistbands in underwear!

The new jocks come in 9 different color combinations. My two favorites are the So:BE which is the pink with grey waistband and pink pouch. Also the Raleigh, which has the grey/pink waistband and white pouch. They really pop and are super hot to me! Garçon Model put their own spin on the jock with these and they are awesome!

Right now they are giving you 15% off your order with code GMXTRA15%. So go to the Garçon Model to see all 9 color combinations and get your favorite.

Nasty Pig released their Holiday Video called Give/Receive. Which features their clothing and underwear. Check out the video and then check out the gear.

After  set this to post, I received this from Nasty Pig:

We were excited to have our second television spot run on various cable markets in the US. We shot a great holiday spot for Nasty Pig and were very happy with the results. Considering what is currently shown on TV, we were very disheartened when our spot was pulled off the air here in New York City. While no one at Time Warner Cable would reply to us for days, a reporter from Gawker came to our defense and wrote a fair and balanced story about what went down and posted our commercial so everyone could see it. Please read this story on Gawker and share it with your friends. It shows that we have a long way to go before we are truly accepted.

CREDENZA-1

An old underwear contact reached out to me about YOCISCO underwear. They are a brand launched in Denver in June 2013. It was the creation of international go-go dancer and male entertainer Cisco. He used is first hand knowledge of underwear to start a line that would be embraced by men of all sexual orientations, sizes and styles.

The line is a far cry from Tighty Whites. The line combines color and comfort in a a sexy, urban, edgy way. This underwear makes you feel sexy, confident and comfortable from the moment you put them on till you take them off. They say “YOCISCO, Where Sexy Starts. The picture above is proof of that!

The underwear is made out of Bamboo. They did this because its one of the softest fabrics on the market. It has a natural absorbency that keeps you dry and comfy. Another natural property is its anti-bacterial. Lastly, it’s breathable and will keep you cool.

You maybe asking what styles they have? Currently they have boxer briefs/trunks and jocks. I am looking forward to a brief! We hope you check it out at http://www.yocisco.com

Modus Vivendi - Masai Line 05Just in time for Christmas, Modus Vivendi presents the fifth part of its latest campaign for 2015 in which each line from its new collection is individually presented by a selected photographer renowned for his outstanding talent and unique style.

So far we have visited four destinations (England, USA Greece and Spain) and this time we take you to France, a country synonymous with fashion and good taste and incidentally one of the brand’s strongest markets. Not to be missed! Here we take a trip to southerly Aix-en-Provence, close to the Mediterranean and home to photographer Lionel André.

This outstanding artist worked with models James Laurens and Kylani’ As Model, who strongly portray masculine ideals in their presentation of this new line of underwear and athletic loungewear, the Masai line. Dramatic and powerful, André’s shots bring us a blast of heat in the midst of winter. Brilliant colours and one of the most iconic of photographic themes, the sea, take a leading role.

With designs inspired by the Masai warriors of Kenya, the new apparel comes in true reds and black and includes favourite items such as the two styles of briefs and boxers, the langot and saruel pants, all in new colours and fabrics. The line offers also a robe, a brand new t-shirt design and lounge pants, all made of the highest quality materials and offering tremendous comfort.
