Review – Andrew Christian Limited Edition Almost Naked Holiday Air Jock

No Comments

ac-almost-naked-air-jockWe posted our first review yesterday with Alex’s Video review and we have quite a few more Andrew Christian pairs to review! The pair I got to review is the Limited Edition Almost Naked Holiday Air Jock. Wearing jock briefs always makes me feel a bit naughty. I’m not sure why, after so many years wearing underwear and every style imaginable you don’t think I would, but I do!

I was really excited to try this because it’s a very light pair and has one of my most favorite pouches. The Almost Naked line ahs been one of the favorite lines I have since it first came out. It’s a pair that fits and gives amazing support. This pouch never lets me down!

What did the review consist of? Well it was a Monday and I wanted a pair that would make the day bright. This did just that, the read breathable material and the gold waistband made me very happy. I wore it through a busy day at work and then followed by errands for the afternoon. It held up great. I was super happy. When I slide these on the legs was a little tight. They didn’t bind or stay stiff.

I know there are guys who don’t want a jock brief because they don’t like the cut out in the back. This pair is I really didn’t notice the cut out that much. It really felt like a brief. The material was super light and felt great. So the combination of the two made this a great pair for me.

The sizing with Andrew Christian is pretty much as said on the size charts. The only complaint I have is the pairs are a little tight to put on in the legs, but that doesn’t distract from the pair. I wore an XL and have a closer to 38 waist right now, gained a few back, but they fit great.

Pros:

  • Limited Edition Pair
  • Great materials
  • Felt like a brief
  • Almost Naked pouch

Cons:

  • Legs were a little tight
  • Not for all guys unless you like a jock brief

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit – 8
  • Sizing – 8
  • Construction/Materials – 8
  • Styling – 8
  • Daily Performance – 8
  • Overall:  – 8

Style Brief 2(X)ist Turbo Line

No Comments

2xist-turbo2(X)ist has a new line out this week and it’s called Turbo! You may be asking why is it called Turbo? Well, I would say it’s because of the moisture wicking fabric. Lately there has been more of a trend to making underwear for sports and working out. More companies pay attention to how a guy uses their undies and what they are doing. You don’t want to go to the gym/run/be active in cotton underwear.

The fabric they are using is 89% Nylon/11% spandex blend. So it will move with you and take moisture away from your body. The second thing you will notice is the colors. They came out with some amazingly bright colors. They include blue, black, red, yellow and white.  Each as a contrasting color on the site.

Thats not all they have a new branded waistband with the 2(X)its logo on the left hip. It matches the color of the underwear. The styles available are the Jock, No-Show Trunk, No-Show Brief and a tank. They range from $26-34 at the 2(X)ist Website

Style Brief Male Basics Spot Collection

No Comments

Malebasics-spot-collectionMale Basics has a new collection called Spot. As you can see above its a mix of bright and classic colors. Some of the previous collections they have had ranged from the classic briefs to really wild lace underwear. This one is more on the classic side but still has a sexy spin..

One thing that strikes me is the Waistband. It comes in black and red branded waistbands. I love how the red pops with the white/black jock! The next thing that you may notice is it’s made out of sports mesh. So the pouch in the jock, and the side side of the brief and trunk is the sports mesh material.

From Male Basics :

In this collection, we are highlighting the male anatomy by using contrast colors and shaping the pouch and the rear in a different way.

The body of the underwear was built using Yael (micro fiber), a premium quality fabric with a close-to-wearing-nothing feeling. This collection is bringing the spotlight back to the body parts that matter!

The Jockstrap is made out of Yael, giving it an extra sensual component but keeping it very masculine and sporty. It has contrast straps on the rear for a more sophisticated effect.

I really like this collection. Sports mesh is currently a big trend in men’s underwear. Male Basics has put its own spin on the collection. They made the line fun and sexy but not over the top. The one thing you should notice is the jock pouch is semi-sheer. The brief and trunk both have a solid pouch.

These have now been released and find them at the Male Basics site! See the pics below of the entire line

Style Brief aussieBum Riot

No Comments

aussiebum-riot-rangeLet’s face it, we all want underwear that is super sexy. That’s part of the reason we really want to buy underwear. If it doesn’t feel sexy then why bother right? The newest range from aussieBum is the Riot line. First thing you notice is the color. The bright blue trim and waistband offset the white sports mesh material.

The next thing you notice is the cut outs. There are two cut outs, the first is over the pouch and the second is in the back (well in the brief), the jock is of course open but has the same front as the brief. Last thing you may notice in the pics is the material. It’s a white sports mesh! Which leads me to wonder if you use this to work out will it become see through? This maybe a sticking point to some and a selling point to others!

aussieBum has never been a stranger to hot undies. They released the new Rugby shorts a while back and now are entering a more sports market. Granted I don’t know if we’ll see these at the gym but they would be great for working out, activities and a great date! The brief is around $25 and the jock is $23 at the aussieBum site.

Style Brief Jack Adams BodyFlex Mesh Army Fly Jock Brief

No Comments

Erb6.html.pngFirst its awesome to see Jack Adams using model Alex Misnky. We interviewed him this past year and think he’s an amazing guy. We hope to see much more of him in the underwear market! It’s been a while since we covered Jack Adams and I think we have mentioned this pair but need really did a post on it!

Jack Adams has a really great style. The use of the colors and trim contrasts is something they really excel at, also the design. I think their designs are ones that accent a guys body. The lines of the trim really  highlight areas you want to show off. Jack Adams has their own take and style for men’s underwear.

The title may confuse you but it’s a jock brief. Made our of really breathable material (78% Nylon; 22% Spandex) and in several color combinations. Each combination has the signature dip in the front of the pouch. These would be great for working out or another sporting activity.

They are available at the Jack Adams site for $26.00

To Russia With Love from McKillop

No Comments

home page russiaMcKillop is one who’s not afraid to speak his mine. I talked to him briefly about this collection last night. It’s a way to protest the Russian treatment of Gay and Lesbians in Russia. They created a blog To Russia With Love. Which, Ryan told me, each day the pics will get more revealing.

From McKillop:

“For the month of Feb. we have decided to create a mini collection (Brief$40,Jock$20,Boxer$30 + S/H). We used a red and white printed fabric that is reminiscent to Eastern European/Russian design and we have turned this into a little bit of an awareness campaign for LGBT community in Russia.

Of course the images do not reflect that directly but we have opened up a blog just for the month to post links about the Olympics, The LGBT community/ their laws and treatment but mainly there are a months supply of  some really hot photos. Dean Monroe helped us with dawning his pretty face in our undies and it seems to be getting a lot of attention.

We are running this product and campaign for only this month”

Don’t miss this before they are gone, this is a limited series from McKillop. See pics of the line below
