Looking for some new swimwear? If so then Marcuse’s new collection would be great for you. This is the new Lure Suit. A black and white pattern suit. This would be perfect for our Swim Brief Challenge!
Are you a fan of something fun and metallic? The new Go Go Brief (8647) from Pikante is the perfect pair for you. This collection from Pikante is definitely a walk on the wild side. It’s so wild we can’t promote much on Facebook. I know many of our readers will love the collection. I know for a fact we have a few straight readers who will go crazy over some of these pairs!
The Go Go Brief is available in three metallic fabrics; Gold, Silver and Black. Each one has a snap off pouch. Which allows you easy access for those times when you want to have some fun. We know there are some out there who would never wear undies like this but for a whole set of guys this is fun and something exciting.
The back of this pair has a mesh panel at the top. It’s not a super see through mesh and doesn’t cover the entire back. Its only about the top third of the back. Gives you just enough of a peek. It also has similar snaps that you see on the pouch. It’s a lot of fun.
You maybe asking, “Would you wear this pair?” Honestly, I would give it a try. I think we all need to push ourselves and try something new. My biggest concern would be the pouch. Would it hold through the day? The material is a Polyester/Spandex blend so it should hold you in place and feel good.
If you’re up for something fun then definitely check this pair out. If you want something wilder, this new collection has even more you will like! These should be rolling out to retailers as we speak!
Date night underwear means different things to every guy. But we are curious as to what your go to style is? Do you have a favorite? Do you mix it up? Tell us about your date night undies. Leave a comment or send us a tweet about what your favorite is and why!

I”m so ready for some swim weather. Like most in the US the winter has been harsh. We are ready for summer and sun times! Vuthy Sim has a new line out shortly!
Tis the season for new undies! As we go through the next few weeks more and more undies will be released. While in Vegas I got to meet with Mundo Unico. Which happens to be one of my favorite brands of underwear. It was one of the first brands I bought back in the early 2000s.
I’m beginning to branch out into patterns. However I’m still not one for funky wild patterns. This I would say boarders on the funky and wild but there is something about the condor print that I just love. I think the first thing is it’s in my favorite color, green! More and more companies are making green undies! Which suits me just fine!
When I first saw the pair I thought it was eagles but its actually condors! It makes a great print. I don’t know why this pair just makes me smile. Made from a nylon/spandex blend it will move with you and has the amazing Mundo Unico pouch.
You can find this pair at the Mundo Unico site for $28. It also comes in two other colors, blue and orange. Also comes in a mid length boxer.
We bring you a lifestyle picture form the new MaleBasics Dots collection. this one features the Jockstrap. The jock has a mesh pouch so there will be little left to the imagination.
Are you a fan of the classics? Are you a fan of the tighty Whitie brief? Well the Urban Basics brief is the Baskit take on the tighty whitie brief. It’s made with a great pouch and amazing materials. You won’t find 6 of these in a pack but you can find it for just $12 today. Just go under specials on the Baskit site and get the deal, just for today
One thing I LOVE in underwear is when you mix underwear with something else. Meaning if you mix underwear and swimwear design or sports wear. Something about it just really resonates with me and I love it. I’m from the school underwear should be fun and you should always try to find something outside the box! This type of undies just make me feel super sexy!
Clever has done that with the new Punch Boxer. Now, I’m not usually a fan of boxers briefs but I love the waistband with the board short type lace up in the front. It has the solid black waistband with the white stripes on the side and wide white waistband. Above the pouch is open just below the laces. It makes it super sexy!
Like I said these could be a mix of swim or work out wear. I really think this one is really fun. It’s also available in grey/light blue but prefer the black and white over it. Clever says it’s more inspired by boxing, I can see that
This is a pair I want to have in my collection. I know this line just came out and may not be out as of yet but retailers should be getting the new Clever!
We are having our very first official Twitter Chat. We thought after Magic would be a great time to have one! So you can ask your questions to @Unbblog or @unbtim with hashtag #askunb. So on Sunday, March 9th from 7-8 PM EST ask your questions! So follow us and join in the conversation.

Today’s Brief Distortion is from Alexander Cobb. I am loving what I”m seeing from them. They are a new brand we are covering. You guys should check them out!
Have you guys seen Alexander Cobb underwear? It’s a Scandinavian brand that has come to my attention this past month. You maybe asking who is this brand? Well they make underwear that fits like it’s your second skin. The perfect combination of materials and design – the ultimate blend of cotton and elastin in a range contemporary cuts in a number of limited edition prints.
Here is what their website says about them: “When you wear Alexander COBB for the first time, you will feel the difference. They perfectly to your body – and our waist bands in particular are of high quality hugging your waist line without lines or mark. And the our high quality materials mean that they will retain their shape over time.”
Prints are my new favorite thing in underwear. I’m branching out and fun prints are catching my attention. The one in the picture is the Koi print they have just released. You may ask why they chose the Koi design. ”
The symbol for Alexander COBB® is the Koi – Japanese for carp and homophone for affection or love. Koi represents love and friendship and is synonymous with different elements in the collection – colour, symbols, style and cut. It is also special that Alexander COBB® depicts koi through the art of tattoo – one of the most beautiful, most intriguing, and the boldest tattoos. Metaphorically, we believe the Alexander COBB® range will feel like tattoos, your second skin.” But one thing you should know is the underwear has a strawberry fragrance. The brief and trunks are 35 Euros and
I love what they are doing an think you guys should check them out. I haven’t seen them in the US but you can order directly from the Alexander Cobb Underwear website.
Troy Wise is another of my favorite photogs. He’s got a more rougher style with this series that I love. The lighting and everything I love! We hope you enjoy

2(X)ist is one of the oldest men’s fashion underwear companies on the market. You would think they could get set in their ways after almost 20 years on the market. However, that’s not the case. The print line is the perfect example of how they keep revamping this line for each season.
At Magic I always get to talk to Jason Scarlatti, the creative director, and he always out does himself. He’s one of my favorite people to meet up with. Each time when I think they have reached the limit on stripes and prints, he pulls another rabbit out of the hat! It just amazes me how they create new and fun prints. Jason has an eye for what’s coming and going to be big in the world of men’s underwear.
This collection has three new prints. The first is my favorite. The Digi print.
The print is just as the name suggests. It’s digital inspired. I have seen some camo prints in and out of underwear in a similar style. Which I really like this, and it sorta reminds me of camo but is not in the traditional camo colors. The bright blue they use in each style sets them out of the camo sphere.
Stripes
I Love how 2(X)ist mixes colors in their stripes. Granted I”m not a fan of super crazy stripes but these mix a great color pallet. It’s mixing colors I wouldn’t think of mixing to create a great pattern
Wave Print
The Wave print is more of a chevron style print. Its the most subdued print of the bunch but still very colorful and fun. The part I love the most are the matching waistbands. Each series in this has a matching or complimenting waistband. The Wave is one that has a 2(X)ist color matching band that sets it off very well!
Rugby Strip
Last is the Rugby Stripe. This stripe is not one I would thing in men’s underwear. With underwear being so small I wouldn’t think of using a wide stripe. It would seem to get lost and only a few big stripes. However, with the stripe and the contour pouch it really has a nice design. I think the pouch is the part that makes me like design so much. The stripes accent what you have and the way they make a chevron. The V in the front just shows off what you have
I hope you guys check out the collection and let us know what you think! These briefs are available for $18 at the 2(X)ist website. They are also available in trunks as well!

Over a week ago we launched the 2014 Swim Brief Challenge. We want all guys who read this site, regardless of sexual orientation, body type or draw backs to wear one in public. I know it’s a lot to ask for some of you guys but let’s do this, this year!
Back in the day, many years ago I used to rock the swim briefs all the time. It was my swimwear of choice and I hated when I had to wear board shorts. They just were super uncomfortable and too much material. I remember going to Florida with my ex and he insisted I not wear them on the beach. This was a beach that was 99% straight and I don’t think anyone had worn one there in a long time, it was also the mid 90’s and swim briefs were still big in the gay market.
So I complied with his and wore my american flag Speedo brand suit under my green trunks. Yes I still remember what I wore all these years later. At one point I almost took them off but kept my word. Which I was not happy about, but I won’t do this again.
Flash forward to this past year. We did our swimwear shoot and had some great brands participate. One pair that caught my eye was the N2N Stratum. While not a swim brief, the style and pouch caught my eye. So after the shoot I got that pair and wore at the pool after the shoot. It felt great, this was the first time I have worn anything like it in a few years. It felt amazing.
It got me thinking about my advice I give everyone who reads the blog, wear what you want! To hell with everyone else. Granted swimwear is something that is seen more than underwear but we need to all do it. I am going to wear a swim brief this summer! The avatar on my Twitter is a pair from Undergear that I wore this past year!
I want to hear from you guys who’s going to wear and when you wear a swim brief. Email us or tweet met @unbtim and let’s do it
Rick Day did a great series for PUMP! Underwear last year. If you’re not familiar with the brand then go check them out! We will bring you more from PUMP this year
I got a chance to meet up with Andrew Christian at Vegas. Like years past, they have an amazing amount of underwear coming out. It still amazes me how much they produce in one year. It’s usually one new thing a week.
One of the newest is the Show-it Jock Thong. You maybe going, wait Jock and Thong? Yes it’s a hybrid of a jock with an extra thong strap in the back. This hybrid has been around for a while but still is not one that is mainstream. Ever since the jock brief success in the men’s underwear market, combinations of different pairs have taken off.
This pair is made with the Show-it Technology. Which will take what you have and enhance it in the pouch. So if you’re not a fan of enhancing undies this may not be for you. This proves that enhancing underwear isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The Show-it tech has been a staple in the Andrew Christina line up. It’s been one of the longest lines in his collection. That and the Flashback were some of the first lines I remember them creating.
The thing I like about this pair is the way the undies really accent want you have in the front and back. The pouch has the elastic above the pouch extend down a bit. it’s a nice look I think! Where as the back has trim that accents your assets in the back. It just frames you nicely in the front and back!
If you’re up for trying something new then we suggest you check this par out. It’s not your every day pair of underwear and wear it on a date and we guarantee you’ll get a look or two from your date after your pants come off
Available at the Andrew Christian site for $22.93

Bluebuck underwear has some really great lifestyle pics. It like they took a real guy out and made some pics with every day guys! They are the company behind Ben Cohen’s line as well.
I’m back from Magic/Curve and I”m worn out. This is the one of the few trips the jet lag has really gotten to me. This past show was a lot of fun. There were fewer brands than in years past and I think it maybe a trend that will continue. Which has me sad that is the case. I really love going and meeting with brands. I have made some great friends and this is usually the only time I get to see them face-to-face.
But, let’s keep it positive. There were fewer brands but we made some strong new connections with some brands we don’t work a lot with, those brands include; Garcon Model, Teamm8, Bwet Swimwear, and a few more! Other brands we love to meet with are 2(X)ist, Baskit, N2N Bodywear, Frank Dandy, 2EROS
This year we’re not going a big post on all the brands. We think it’s more important to cover the pairs as they come out. We have a schedule and will be following up with brands to bring you the new pairs when it comes out. Brands such as N2N Bodywear and Gregg Homme release their lines a once and we will cover them. Both have some great new lines.
The highlight of the trip is the Annual Meet and Greet we do. It’s a chance for everyone to meet up and just have a good time outside the show. It can range from 2 to 30 people. No matter how many show up it’s always a good time. This year we had Timoteo, N2N Bodywear, 2EROS, Frank Dandy, BWet Swimwear, PetitQ, Shrine Boxer, Garcon Model, Underwear Nation, BoyRio, and a few more! It was a great time. We will be doing this again in August.
Some of the highlights of the show are:
- New collection from N2N is released – Including swim and active
- Andrew Christian has some new styles he’s not done before
- Baskit will be releasing 3 new styles in the next few months!
- 2EROS has some amazing swim coming out
- Timoteo has expanded the Cellblock13 and has one pair I LOVE the waistband
These are just a few highlights. We will be bringing you more over the next few weeks and months. I will be launching the new improved UNB podcast called “Brief Talk Podcast”.
We got a bunch of pictures from Paul Ferrer! They are really great pics. I chose this one today because just when I think winter is done here it sneaks back in!
