We hope you had a great 4th! Today we suggest you relax in your favorite undies like Garçon Model. Super comfy and some great colors they just released in the Miami Colleciton.
I don’t remember if we shared this pic but it’s always one to share again. We want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July. Hope you have a safe and swim brief holiday! This features Martin in the Vuthy Flag Swim Brief.
If your’e a fan of C-IN2 you no doubt know the Hand Me Down line. If you don’t know the line, its a line that is made with a “distressed” fabric to feel like it’s been handed down. I was skeptical about the line but I tried a pair and it felt really great. It lived up to what they said. It was like I put on a pair i have had for years.
The new refreshed line features a Charcoal and Grey stripes. When I talked to Greg at C-IN2 a few weeks ago, I wondered if the line would be too dark. But after seeing the pics on the site. The colors are: Blazer (orange), Dark Dizzy (red/maroon), Wax Pear (green/yellow) and Wink (Aqua/blue). The names brands come up with just are amazing lately. I am loving the creativity they are using.
They are in the usual styles you would expect from C-IN2, but the one style I don’t remember seeing is the Boxer. Granted, many of our readers don’t care for boxers but it could be great for lounging at home.
Should you get some C-IN2 Hand Me Down? I say yes without a doubt. It’s some of the most comfy undies I have owned and I love the stripes. Find these and more at the C-IN2 site.
N2N Bodywear had a show at Mickey’s in LA last week. I wish I could have gone to this but the video is amazing. If you are a fan of N2N then you don’t want to miss this! Check out the video it features some of the newest N2N Bodywear!
New pics and a brand new site are at Cocksox. Just yesterday Cocksox unveiled their new website. It’s very clean, sleek and modern. I say good job with the site. Go check it out!
What got you into modeling?I’m naturally enthusiastic and ambitious, and no one can market themselves better than I can. I love being in front of the camera, and I love inspiring people to make healthy choices. The two go hand in hand. Modeling is a natural extension of my many interests.
So tell us about the XVII contest, what made you enter?
My partner suggested I enter the contest. I had made the decision 18 months prior to bulk up, gain some weight, and lift regularly. For me, lifting is a lot like meditation; it helps one find discipline. I was truly surprised when I learned that the folks at XVII had chosen me as one of their finalists. I’m a very competitive person, so once I was in, I brought everything I had. I tried to separate my ‘selfie’ from the crowd by posing in a suggestive setting (the bedroom). A family member suggested I use mirrors to give viewers a better “perspective”, and I did just that! Fans of XVII and my personal friends all got to like and share the photo for points. Probably the most important aspect of the contest was gaining the participation of local businesses and groups on Facebook. Without their help I never would have won.
Did you think you would be the winner?
Truly, I was very doubtful. The final round wasn’t based on ‘likes’ or Facebook ‘shares’, only the judgment of the people at XVII. Furthermore, each of the finalists had a very different look (and a lot of enthusiastic supporters!). When I got the phone call I was actually at work, and had spent the entire day on pins and needles waiting for them to call the contest. I still can’t believe I’ve won, but I’m running with the momentum of the victory.
What are your favorite underwear brands?
Aside from XVII (which are super comfy and supportive), I really like bright colors and interesting cuts. PPU have an awesome (and provocative) product. I love wearing Michael Kors or Versace to work; they make me feel a little more luxe throughout the day, and Michael Kors breathe really well. I can’t wait to receive my XVII swag package, though. They sent me $300.00 in product and I really can’t wait to try every pair.
Any brands you want to try?
Honestly, I don’t know if there are too many brands I haven’t tried. We’ve probably had 200 or 300 pairs of underwear in the last year. We love underwear in my household like a lot of people love bags or shoes.
Which brands would you love to model for?
I think my dream shoot would be for Givenchy or Tom Ford, but I really relate to the clean, modern aesthetics of Versace and the androgynous masculinity of Armani. Who knows– my future isn’t written yet; there’s a lot of work out there for me to earn.
What do you have planned for the future?
I’ve always got tricks up my sleeve. In the short term, I’m getting out to raise money for a few charity organizations, including the Apocalyptic Ball here in Denver, which raises money for HIV/AIDS prevention. Long term, I’m going to pursue my ambitious, tighten up my portfolio, and work hard to earn new clients. This win is really just the beginning of a much larger story.

Are you fan of Cover Male, Uzzi, Ergowear, Vuthy or Candyman? If you are then check out the 25% off sale at NuWear. They are running the sale till Midnight on 7/3/14. Just use code brands24. Go check out all the pairs on sale.
If you read this blog you know that underwear should be a lot of fun. We all have underwear for every day wear and some of us have underwear to wear to the gym. Those are pairs that are conservative and most guys wouldn’t look twice at in the locker room. But what about those pairs you want to show off and make a statement?
PPU has a pair just for that! The brief, which I call cut out brief, but they call it the Sneak Peek brief. This is a brief cut, where the front is not attached to the elastic but left open. Its a new design is set off by the pink piping around the openings and pouch. So there is no way not to draw attention to yourself when wearing it.
It’s super fun and a really fun design. Where would you wear this? I could see many of our readers wearing it under their suits at work. It amazes me what you guys wear to work! And I say more power too you, wear something that suits your personality. Also this could be great for a night out the pink waistband peeking over jeans will draw attention and maybe some comments. The last part is on a date night. Let’s face it if you wear this pair something tells me you want to show it off.
This pair is also available in Turquoise and Grey. But I think the Pink/Black pair is my favorite. The pink just pops against the black fabric. If you want to show off your undies why not wear a pair that will draw the eye! You should be able to find this at your favorite retailer but if not you can find it on Amazon. A tip, anytime you want a pair of Candyman and can’t find it, Amazon is your friend and you can find all pairs on there!

We have heard from many of you that you guys are taking out Swim Brief Challenge. We thought we’d share another great pair to wear. The Cabo Brief from Pistol Pete is something a bit different. It has a bit of a retro vibe with the belt and plaid print.
Pistol Pete is no stranger to plaids in swimwear. I think it’s one of their signature fabrics that they have had over the years. This pair comes in a blue and pink plaid. I really like them both but LOVE the pink plaid (above). It is a plaid fabric that isn’t feminine but has a masculine feel to me. Granted, not everyone is going to get that vibe but I think it’s just really a great pair.
The Belt is another signature of Pistol Pete. The one thing about them is they always march to their own drummer. They have a unique style that you don’t see on the market today. So this gives them a solid core of brand loyal customers. If you are interested in the Cabo Brief you can get it for $48.50 at the Pistol Pete Website.
In many places of the world it’s Pride. We want to Wish you Happy Pride as well as does Timoteo! If you’re out a t pride have a fun day and remember the sunscreen1!

Celebrate the 4th of July and Save 25% at International Jock’s Annual “Made in USA” Sale
Back by popular demand, International Jock’s Made in America Sale offers ooh-and-aah-inspiring discounts on all American-made brands.
While only 2% of all garments sold here are made in America, International Jock has always made it a point to seek out and support U.S. manufacturers. Their 25% off sale includes top-of-the-line, all-American brands like Pistol Pete, Timoteo, Go Softwear, N2N, Sauvage Swimwear and LA Sporting Club. And, when you purchase clothing made in the States you’re helping the national economy, our local garment industries and saving thousands of Americans jobs.
So celebrate Independence Day with a bang by shopping International Jock’s patriotic collection of American brands at jaw-dropping prices during their annual Made in America Sale.
Vuthy Sim (pronounced Vooh-Tee Sim) has released its “Old Glory” swim suit in thong, bikini and square cut ranges as part of its rollout of new designs for 2014. The brand also plans soon to expand its Old Glory line to include briefs, boxers and board shorts to cover the full gamut of tastes in silhouettes. The handsome American flag print has proven to be exceptionally popular with buyers in its early days on the market.
This is not your grandmother’s flag print, like so many kitschy fabrics on the market that seem more suited to a quilt than a swimsuit for the stylish man. Inspired by the American flag, “Old Glory” ranges allow you to show off your July 4th pride each day at the beach or poolside. In patriotic red, white and blue colors, you can’t be guaranteed a salute, but most likely attention and a few compliments.
An elastic waistband eliminates the need for a messy drawstring. The front pouch provides comfort and fit to hold and accentuate a man’s natural assets. As always, you get Vuthy Sim’s unequaled attention to fit, design and quality of workmanship. Vuthy Sim’s fashions have been enjoyed worldwide for two decades, and have been seen on Broadway in the shows “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Spamalot.”
Vuthy Sim is constantly tweaking his designs to assure the best fit. Nobody likes a swimsuit that pinches (in the wrong places!) or rides up and needs to be constantly yanked down. That’s certainly not a problem with a swimsuit from Vuthy Sim.
Recommended Vuthy Sim sizing: small 28-30, medium 31-33, large 34-36, x-large 37-39. Free shipping in the USA! Only $10 to the rest of the world. The ranges vary in price from $36-$52 USD, and can be found online by visiting www.vuthysim.com.
Here’s a great pic for a Friday. I think we should name Friday, Fun Friday and profile really fun undies! This is Steven Dehler in the Timoteo Grand Prix Athletic Jock. Enjoy the fun!
