Fan of C-IN2? Check out their latest video. Here is the description “”Looking for Now” is an old school saying with modern appeal just like the vintage inspired prints of Hand Me Down and the pounded pigment colors of Scuff. Model Levi Jackson mans up to the last of winter’s chills to showcase this spring’s bestsellers.”
Men’s Fitness photography is way underrated! One of the up and coming photogs is Eric Battershell. He’s done some amazing work this past year and we wanted to profile him.

One thing I am super excited for is the release this week of N2N Bodywear’s 2014 Line. I got word it’s supposed to be out and they teased it on Twitter last week! Look for it later this week! I love the swim out of the collection a lot!
I have been seeing Ken Wroy at Magic for a few trips now. They are a company that has their own unique style. The prints are fun and different. Its not something you see out in the market! For many of our readers that’s an important thing! I know many of you want to have something not every one has.
This is my first pair of Ken Wroy I have ever worn. As I said above I was really looking forward to it. I received this pair in Vegas at Magic. This is one of the few pairs I have ever received there. Normally most just show the new line and rarely give out samples. I know many of you out there think you should score big time there. So I was super happy to get a pair.
I am not a big trunk fan. So when I took them out of the box, I was unsure how it would fit. I will say it worried me a little. I normally like my underwear a little stretchier. But, I am giving this a chance I told myself. I slid them on and noticed the legs were a little tight but not uncomfortable. Which I think is a good thing I will explain in a bit.
I wore these to run errands one day. So these would get a work out from me. The fears of them not fitting or loosing their shape were quickly put to rest. I think the tight legs kept the pair in place for the day. I liked how they gripped my legs. However, there is one thing that really surprised me was the pouch. I wasn’t expecting a defined pouch. But what it had was super supportive and fit me great. I didn’t have to adjust or worry about it bunching. I really liked these a lot, I wasn’t expecting to really enjoy them since I’m not a big trunk fan.
The sizing was pretty spot on for me. I am a 38 waist, yeah I have gone back up a bit, but working on getting it down again. But the XL fit me great. There was no binding and really issues.

Today we bring you a new brand called Charles Owo underwear. They are out of NYC and have a really cool collection. We will have an interview about them soon. Go check them out in the mean time
I got a chance to meet the guys behind Garcon Model, Patrick & Mehdi. Both really amazing guys with a big passion for underwear. They told me a little about the line and now its out! If you remember they did a Kickstarter campaign for the collection. I will be reaching out for more info about the collection and bring you more. Here is the press release we recieved:
Canadian underwear brand Garçon Model returns with a second collection for Spring/Summer 2014 continuing its quest to offer premium men’s underwear with a bold aesthetic.
Garçon Model has quickly positioned itself as one of the most sought-after new male bodywear brands. Its fresh colour palette and instantly recognisable logo demand attention with classic styles that are familiar, and a quality that is superior.
The brand’s popularity was put to good use in December 2013 when it called upon the support of its customers and fans to help raise investment to the sum of $10,000 using crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter.
The campaign saw backers pledging over double the target goal in just over a month of the launch. This money was re-invested into market research, product development and an increased product offering to ensure that the brand continues to strengthen over the coming months.
With much anticipation for the follow-up collection Garçon Model drew inspiration from Miami, playground of the rich and famous, for Spring/Summer 2014.
From the bright lights of Ocean Drive and Art Deco pastels of South Beach to the energy of Downtown Miami, Garçon Model presents an unashamedly vibrant range of 17 colours and styles for the season ahead.
The iron-free microfiber range of form fitting briefs, trunks and boxers all boast the iconic Garçon Model waistband that is guaranteed to add a pop of colour or flash of style to any outfit.
“There is something really celebratory about this collection and we feel that is reflected in the designs. Men’s underwear really needs a refreshing splash of colour and by taking inspiration from Miami we were able to bring a sense of elegance but with a vibrant twist. Our primary goal is to help men look good and feel sexy without compromising comfort.” – Patrick Lafontaine, co-founder of Garçon Model.
All-American male model Tyler Kenyon becomes the face of Garçon Model for SS14 with a series of campaign images and film shot on location in Miami by photographer Daniel Jaems. Sport loving Tyler, who has been shot by some of the world’s top fashion photographers, personifies the masculine, sexy and universal appeal of Garçon Model range.

PetitQ sent us a few images! This picture was done by by Mike Carter featuring a gorgeous model: Lucas. He is wearing our trunk PQ35 which includes jockstrap elastics to enhance the butt and a nice deep pouch to give an extra bulge.
We have been getting emails and people telling us they are taking the challenge! A few have already sent in pics to prove they are putting on the briefs and going out to the pool! This is awesome, it’s like we need our own custom logo for the challenge now.
I have even talked to a few straight guys who are considering it! One big challenge to our challenge is many think they don’t have the body to wear them. To that I say, just wear what you want and feel good in and don’t listen to others. I plan to wear one to our pool shoot, granted I”m no model but I’m going to do it!
If you plan on doing the challenge let us know. Tweet us, email us or instagram us. Just tag your posts #swimbrief! Picture by Clever Underwear

We all love great undies if reading this blog, that’s a given! But not all of us have an amazing budget to buy underwear. I know you think the life of an underwear blogger is all underwear all the time, but it’s not. Just like you guys, we look for great deals for underwear too. I freely admit I don’t like paying full price.
One way I have found to save money is to buy underwear in three packs. I”m not saying the ones you used to wear and buy at Wal-Mart. I will NEVER go back to those! If I did you guys would have ever right to stop reading the blog. Because I will have gone insane and would loose all credibility.
Three packs are what most companies call basics. Meaning they won’t be the uber stylish newest undies out by the company. They will be their take on the classic brief. Which, I think every guy should own a pair of classic white undies. Its a must have pair in my opinion.
Here are some great suggestions for those wanting good undies at a better price.
2(X)ist Men’s Essential Collection – This is the 2(X)ist classic brief! Which is available in white with a functional fly. I used to LOVE the classic brief from 2(X)st, they were the only classic brief I ever owned. 2(X)ist makes some of the best undies lately. Available for $32 from 2(X)ist
Papi Cotton Low Rise Brief – These briefs from Papi aren’t traditional, meaning they don’t have a fly. But they are super comfy. I have owned quite a few of these over the years. Previous collections were white with different color writing on the waistband, now they are available in different colors/waistbands. They now have 8 different color combos. They are really great quality at an amazing price. Perfect for everyday wear. Available for $24 from Papi Underwear
Calvin Klein Low Rise Brief – CK is prob one the company you think of when you think of classic underwear. They have been around since the 80’s. Their iconic ad back then featured a guy in white briefs against a white stone. It, in my opinion, sparked the men’s underwear market. They now have the briefs in three packs in black, white, grey, and two blues. Available for $27.50 from CK Underwear
These are some suggestions for those wanting classic undies. We will be bringing you more suggestions soon for all kinds of undies!
Last time I posted I got the name wrong. So this time I have the name right. This is more of the MaleBasics Spot collection. This is the jock in Black! Make sure you check out the entire line
Do you have y our swimwear? Especially for our “Swim Brief” challenge! If not check out the new Andrew Christian Splash Bikini. This is a bikini for those who really want it to be known they are wearing a swim brief for two reasons! First, we say this because it’s available in Neon Yellow. Meaning you won’t be missed in this pair at the beach or pool!
The bikini has a draw string and features the Show-It Technology. If not familiar it’s an enhancing technology Andrew Christian has used for years. This is the second reason you will get noticed. The Show-It takes what you have and shows it off! Some this will be a big bonus and be a big selling point!
Andrew Christian was voted our favorite swimwear brand in our 2014 Reader Awards. If you want to try a great pair of swim we think you should check out the Splash Bikini. If you don’t want to wear neon yellow it is also available in black. Find it at the Andrew Christian website for $37.93!

We did the Swim Brief Challenge this year to bring awareness to men’s swimwear. Its something the general public needs to be made aware of! I have had conversations about this to both gay and straight readers. I always get asked, why is it that the media and such an objectify women but never men?
In perfect timing Jennifer Lopez puts out a video that does just that. At the beginning of the video they are running through concepts and they finally say “If Jennifer was a man you would have her in a mansion or yacht with scantily clad women running around” why can’t we do that with guys? And they did just that!
They show here with men in swim briefs and underwear. I think it’s awesome, because how many times do you see something shot in America with guys in swim briefs? I would say never unless it’s something like a Borat style humor. This is turning the tables and showing that its cool to have men show off!
We don’t normally cover stuff like this but its a step in the right direction for men’s swimwear to reach a bigger market. Will it be part of a bigger trend? I don’t know but it will get people talking!
Watch the video:
PPU makes really fun underwear. Thew new pair 1413 brief is a mesh brief that won’t show it all off. The pouch is a half pouch that hides enough but shows off the rest!
