Marek+Richard releases the Junk Collection

No Comments

Junk2Marek+Richard is one of those companies you can tell really enjoys and has a lot of fun designing underwear. Their designs are very eye catching and not afraid to step outside of the box. This collection was inspired by something you wouldn’t think would make for great underwear. The inspiration is Junk Food. Yes that’s right the stuff we love to eat now is the inspiration for an underwear line. So the new line is called “Junk Collection”

I have heard of a lot of inspirations for underwear but this one is prob one of the most creative. If you aren’t familiar with M+R they are out of Dallas, Texas. Founded by in May 2011 by Neil Marek and Robbie Richard (two boys who met while pursuing fashion degrees at The University of North Texas). In fact, all their stuff is made in the USA.

“YUM! Do fries come with that? Inspired by drive-thru junkies and pizza-faced punks, Junk is a calorie loaded collection that features bold mesh details in a variety of your favorite colors. From cropped tees and calf-sweats to briefs and trunks, Junk offers you a wide range of menu options. So have it your way and remember Marek+Richard doesn’t make it ‘til you order it.”

The there are two things I like about the collection. First, the activewear has an 80’s feel. It’s pretty cool to have the bright colors and almost neon color blocks. M+R has a way of making retro work very well. Second is the jock. Jocks are becoming one of the must have’s for any guy to have in their collection. The use of mesh and also waistband really make it work well!

If you’re interested in finding out more, go to the Marek+Richard site and check out the entire collection.

CA-RIO-CA now has Team Spain

No Comments

ca-rio-ca-spainOne of the hottest trends in swimwear right now is country flag inspired swim. We have seen it from many of the swim designers some go literal and other do abstract designs. CA-RIO-CA has created a whole series around the World Cup. So no matter who your team is, they have a pair of swim wear for that Country.

Since it is World Cup inspired they of course have Brazil, the host country. The line also inlcudesUK, USA, France, Portugal, Argentina and more! But they just released Spain. If you notice these aren’t traditional swim briefs but more Brazilian inspired suits. Similar to the ones you see not the beach in Rio. The Classic cut suit (pictured) has a 12 CM side, which for us Americans makes it in between a brief and a square cut trunk.

CA-RIO-CA has been around for a while and makes really fun swimwear. The World Cup collection is just creative and fun! I love how they focus on more than the big countries of the world. It is not often I see swimwear for Argentina. If you’re a World Cup fan then this line will be calling your name. Just note the pairs aren’t cheap, this pair retails for $84.95. But if you’re a fan it maybe a small price to pay!

ZPHELA New Kickstarter!

02a385a7cc8bea18690fe2197f574761_large

I LOVE that men’s underwear makers have started using crowd funding sites to get their lines out! Its a great way to let the consumers vote with their money. The latest to enter this market is ZPHELA. If you haven’t heard of them they are, as they say: “a brand is focused on Men’s underwear and lounge wear. A brand that is bold, sexy, tasteful, and tempting yet refreshingly classy. The sexiness of our products is not intended to attract raw carnality, it is rather refined into sensuality to arouse and excite the senses. Zphela intends to push boundaries, make bold statements, while creating long lasting aesthetic of men’s underwear and loungewear that extends beyond the status quo, translating into bold irresistible statements . ”

They are a new brand but the new Dark Horse collection looks pretty cool. I suggest you guys go check out out and be a part of starting a new company!  Here is the write up of the campaign:

To get to the final phase of our launch, Zphela is looking for assistance with further funding needs. To make this possible we have designed and developed a Limited Edition Collection, with over 100 design combinations. The full collection will only be available to 100 individuals.

Zphela strives to provide customers the best quality experience; a top of the line Nylon/ Spandex fabric will be utilized to ensure this lounge collection remains soft, airy, durable, functional, and comfortable for long periods of time in various situations at home or where comfort truly matters.

Considering the unknown potential the public expects from Zphela, “The Dark Horse” became a fitting name for our first lounge collection. The mysterious vibe and complete construction will vary depending on the backers preference, giving them the possibilities of creating something no one else will have.

Wapo Wear Swimwear – Interview with Michael Guapo

No Comments

3
We bring you a brand new swim line from model Michael Guapo. Michael has taken his experience wearing some of the best swimwear in the world and he launched Wapo wear this month. We got a chance to ask him a few questions about the new line. Here is the interview we conducted.

You have been a model, what made you start your own swimwear line?

I have been playing with the fact of starting my own brand for a long time now. Since I have a lot of experience in fashion, not only as a model, but also stylist and have been working with some top fashion brands stores. I wanted to used this experience on my own. I also worked with different swimwear brands but since I was always a very creative I always felt like I need to start something mine. Something I would be fully in control with and that is how WAPO was created. In my head and with lot of hard work.

Tell us about your collection you have released?

WAPO is not working with the collection for each season like its usually done. We released a collection of few eclectic designs in the  beginning and will add more and more. We want to be able to offer something fresh and new to our customers all over the world during the whole year.

Do you have any favorite pairs in the collection?4

It is really difficult to pick just one. I really love all the designs and Im wearing them very often since I love to wear classic low cut swim wear. Every piece is different and unique so everyone can choose the one (or more) which fits his mood and requirements. Im constantly creating a new designs so there is a lot more to come.

What sets Wapo Wear apart from other swimwear lines?

WAPO is a European company. Our products are made from the best quality fabric and all production is made within Europe. Swimwear is handmade and fully lined. This offers the best comfort and also every single piece used for the swimwear is made within Europe. We want to offer the best quality, fresh designs, fitting cut all together.

Are you planning to branch out into underwear?

I definitely have a plans for the future. At the moment Im focusing on a swimwear but since WAPO is a lifestyle brand I would like to expand to underwear and sportswear. Our customers could wear WAPO 24/7 and always feel special and comfortable.

Where can our readers buy your swimwear?

You can buy all WAPO products on www.wapowear.com and at the moment we offer a free international shipping to every order. Also we like to keep in touch with our customers on instagram www.instagram.com/wapo_wear and Facebook www.facebook.com/wapowear where we also post Fan photos and will release some news about collections or possible discounts for the future

Croota Releases Oasis and Great Sandy Desert Ranges

No Comments

Underwear_Men_Croota_OS02F3Croota has been releasing quite a few new ranges this year. I think they are really coming into their own. Its great to see a company develop it style over the years and start releasing great line after line and keep growing. The first time we worked with Croota was back in 2009 or 2010. They were just brand new and getting exposure.

The one thing I love hearing about in the men’s underwear market is inspiration. It’s really cool to hear that they got inspired by the dessert. Designers get inspired from the least likely things at times. When you think underwear would you ever think underwear? I know I wouldn’t. But they did and made some amazing underwear.

Here is the press release and info about the brand.

Croota underwear (www.croota.com) has just released two final underwear ranges for the first half of 2014 before it gets ready to release its brand new line of t-shirts. The “Oasis” and “Great Sandy Desert” ranges bring a new cut to men’s trunks! Light and form-fitting, these ‘second skin’ ranges of underwear are made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane. 


“Great Sandy Desert” was inspired by the Australian Outback’s great desert landscape. The range features a unique feel and two very distinctive gradient colors called Day Time (Red) and Night Time (Blue). The material is so light it’s as if you’re naked!

The “Oasis” range was inspired by the cool and refreshing feel of an oasis in the middle of the hot, dry Australian desert. This range combines the Croota logo with tribal designs that come in two color variations: Salmon Pink and Bijou Blue.  (Pic above)

Both ranges of underwear offer a stretchable fit and are available in two size options (S-M and L-XL). They retail for $22.90 – $22.95. 

For more information about Croota, or to make a purchase online, please visit www.croota.com.

Style Brief AussieBum Gelato Range

No Comments

9

When I”m in Vegas I always, ALWAYS get Gelato. It prob is one of my favorite things in the world. Here in ATL there are few places to get it, that are really good. So when aussieBum releases a range called Gelato, they have my attention. To mix two favorite things how could it go wrong?

The new range is a cotton range made in really fun colors. The names are inspired by gelato flavors.  The colors are: Bubblegum (blue), Berry (purple), Blue Berry (light blue), Melon (pink), Espresso (Black), Cherry (red), Mint (Green), Licorice (Navy). All really fun colors. The styles that are available are a brief and Jock.

One thing I like, besides the main name is the waistband. aB has amazing waistbands. They always create new ones to match the undies they come out with. So this one is super fun and is similar to ones they have had in the bast but really set off the pair. The second thing I love is the contrasting trim on the legs. So often that is either the same color but it adds a little something to the pair.

These are available at the aussieBum site for $15 for the jock and $18.29 for the brief. These are some of the more affordable pairs from them. So def check these out if you’re a fan!

UNB Swim Brief Challenge – Wayne’s Experience

No Comments

photoWe have a few of our readers sharing why they wear swim briefs! This time we have Wyane! He got the new 2WINK Graffiti Xtreme bikini we ran a few weeks ago! Here is what he has to say:

Here’s a pic of me sporting the new 2wink graffiti xtreme swim briefs. Just got them in yesterday. Love them!  I always wear this style swimwear to the pool. Why? It allows me to get the best tan possible without getting arrested for indecent exposure. Lol. Just kidding. I’ve had a love for underwear (well over 250 pairs now) for years and I can’t get enough. I love my swim briefs while at the pool simply because if women can wear a skimpy bikini, then so can I. I encourage everyone to try it out. It’s very liberating. And let’s face it… Tan lines are kinda HAWT!!

Rockwood Underwear is ready to rock the Underwear World!

No Comments

1176317_577367095660604_1297625948_nRockwood Underwear has come on to the underwear scene. They are doing something I think is pretty cool! We got a chance to interview Rick the owner. This is what he has to say about the company!

We wrote up Rockwood up a few weeks ago but tell our readers about your brand? What made you make Limited edition underwear? 

First, I’d like to introduce myself.  I’m Rick, the designer for Rockwood.  I started Rockwood after I decided to follow a dream.  I heard the quote “If you enjoy what you do for a living, then you never have to work a day in your life.”  This quote made sense to me so I set out to find something I enjoyed or had true interest in….. underwear happened to be it!  For Rockwood, I want to produce underwear with bold colors, crazy prints and all things in between.  A lot of brands do the same thing so I figured I had to set Rockwood apart from all the others.  I do this by making every pair Limited Edition.  Only 500 pairs will be created for each style across the sizes.  This is not 500 pairs per size, but in total.  By making every style Limited Edition, that cuts down the chance of finding someone else with the same pair as you.  It’s the exclusivity that we want people to experience….that “I have these and you don’t” feeling.  LOL

Another thing I want people to know about Rockwood is that I want to keep it real with my customers and followers.  I’m a normal guy, just like them, who had a dream and worked to make it a reality.  I want them to see a friend in me so I have since started a blog.  There you will find postings about what’s going on with Rockwood along with personal postings about what’s going on in my life.  You can also find what’s posted on our Instagram account @rockwoodunderwear.  I encourage you all to check out the blog at  http://blog.rockwoodunderwear.com/ .  Follow along and check back often.

How often are you going to change the pairs?

I know most designers follow the Spring/Summer Fall/Winter design seasons, but I want to keep it more revolving.  When we get something produced, I want to release it.  I don’t want to keep our customers waiting for something new.  Besides, we wear underwear all year round so it makes sense to just keep it revolving.

In the pairs you have created do you have a personal favorite?

Aside from the obvious answer of “I love them all,” I do have a personal favorite.  I love the Electric Orange Trunks that we have out right now.  At the moment, I’m more of a trunk guy so I fell in love with the fit.  The bold orange with the kickass printed waistband just makes it all the better.  Then to top it off, printed on the inside of the waistband is a playful tagline that you may want to show off.  I recommend you all to give them a try!

Any styles or colors you have found have been best sellers?

The first style that sold out was the White Boxer Briefs.  It’s a staple for anyone’s underwear drawer so I can see why it sold out so quickly.  We thought people would stick to a certain cut/style when placing an order of multiple pairs.  However, we have found that a lot of people mix it up.  We find a lot of people order briefs and trunks, prints and solids, and any mix in between.  I think this is great because it shows me that people are down to try different styles.  I know from personal experience, I want to wear a certain style when I’m doing different activities.  This seems to hold true for most others.

What’s coming up for Rockwood?

LOTS!  We want to take Rockwood as far as we can.  We’ve got ideas for new designs and styles running through our heads and we can’t wait to share them.  This is why you all should check the blog out to find out what’s new.  We also encourage people to check out our Instagram account.  People are able to easily give feedback and we encourage people to interact with us on Instagram.  My favorite thing about all of this is connecting with people.  This is why I love it when people Like and Comment on our posts.

I’m grateful for being able to participate in this interview with UNB.  I just want to spread the word about Rockwood and keep it real with all our followers.  I want them to see that “friend” in me and join me on this journey.  As I mentioned before, this is why I throw in personal postings on the blog.  I make no promises on proper grammar though….I guess that’s just part of keeping it real with you all. Haha!

UNB Swim Brief Challenge Accepted – Jonathan K

No Comments

10363701_10152152347100967_1027984762384747817_nWe have heard from readers who want to hear real life experiences of guys who are either taking the challenge for the first time or have always worn swim briefs. This is the second. Jonathan posted his pic on the UNB Swim Brief Challenge Facebook page and he agreed to share his experience:

I wear swim briefs partly because I’m an avid swimmer and I spend a lot of time in pools doing laps and regular swim trunks just slow me down. Also, I’m not a shy person so if someone wants to stand there and check out my bulge I’m not one to be discouraged by that haha. I have had lots of comments thrown at me for wearing them as it being a very “European” thing (I live in Canada) or I’m trying to show off or that I shouldn’t run too fast in them. Because I’ll probably pop out of them. At the end of the day, I’m comfortable in my own skin and don’t mind that I’m leaving very little to the imagination when I wear swim briefs. I wear them for a purpose most of the time. Obviously, when I’m swimming with my club I don’t get flack but on public beaches and stuff I’ll get looks and I think people just aren’t used to seeing a lot of people in swim briefs; it’s not the norm so naturally people are going to stick their nose up a little. I love my swim briefs, from Aussiebum, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Jonathan said the picture was taken in Lismore, Australia.

Style Brief Extreme Master Bodysuit from UnderGear

No Comments

AM331_BLM_E13 This is a bit of a mash up for a Style Brief and a review. The Extreme Master Bodysuit was on sale for $10 in a two-day sale on UnderGear and I decided to buy it. I have a friend, (shout out to Kevin) who bought it a while back and he looked awesome in it and I had to get one. So, when the 2 day sale had it for $10 I jumped at it.

The bodysuit is like a jockstrap with straps that go over shoulders. Therefore the front has a pouch and the back has straps like a jock that go up over your shoulders. Let’s face it if you love fetish wear this pair is HOT. More and more guys (gay and straight) are buying fetish wear. I will admit I have loved it for years but don’t have anyone to wear it for, so it kind of gets lost just wearing it alone.

This is not a pair I think you can or would want to wear under clothes. I say this because the straps criss cross in the back. Granted it took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on. First, at my defense I was a bit tired and it was late. Second, it’s not a pair you just slide on.

I discovered you have to put one side on at a time. The strap on the right front attaches in the left back and vice versa for the other side. Once you figure that out it’s a very hot pair and fit pretty well. Granted I didn’t like the way I looked in it but hoping to lose some weight to look as good as my friend Kevin in it!

Where would you wear this pair? Well, to me there is only one place you would wear it, and it would be in the bedroom. I don’t see this under jeans, a suit or any other area. And, since we are all underwear lovers there is nothing wrong with having fetish wear just for the bedroom. We all have undies we save for special and romantic occasions.

My take on the Master Bodysuit. I think it’s totally hot. I am letting my wild side out with it. It’s not recommended to wear under clothes, I would say save this for someone special and enjoy an evening with them. Its underwear and isn’t it supposed to be sexy and fun!

The Master Body Suit is at UnderGear for $25. You can find it on sale but remember the first time you put it on it may take you a minute to figure it out!
