Today’s Brief Distraction is from Vuthy. We will be profiling their new line soon. If you are not familiar with them they are a company that specializes in swimwear! This year’s collection is one great colors.
I got a chance to sit down with Clever and find out what inspired the new line. It is a little bit of a departure for them, but I think a good direction to go in for a collection.We will have a video coming out very soon as well. But we will devote a post to each brand. it will over Clever, Pikante, PPU, Vuthy and new line Zylas. This post will just cover Clever. Here is what I found out from Clever:
- Inspiration for the new line is the year of the Dragon, Day of the Dead, Goth, and Mesh.
- The Day of the Dead carries through the underwear, swimwear and tank. This includes skulls and skeletons
- Where as the Year of the Dragon inspires the pairs through out the line. You see man different dragon and dragon inspired prints.
- There is a Goth influence for the tribal prints
- Mesh is making a strong appearance in the line as well. Its be a great seller for them and leaves little to the imagination.
- Classics still have a place in the collection with solid colors and some stripes.
- If you are a fan of total mesh underwear then check out the new Desire Latin line.
- It is a solid mesh line that is accented with a gold waistband.
- The Mextli Brief has an interesting print made from a sparklers print at the top. It’s made with a process that won’t fade or run easily.
- The pattern is inserted in a new way that will accent the wearer.
- If you are looking for a brief that is really cool then you need to check out the Tryix mesh brief,
- It has a retro style that remind some of a briefs from the 80’s.
- Cool Classic line comes back and is offered in black with red/yellow waistband. It is a classic but with a splash.
- The waistband is centered with the Clever name, The name will not be off center in any size!
- If you are a fan of colored Sheer underwear, then make sure you see the updated Pop Mesh line.
- It is offered in Green and aqua mesh. There is no solid pouch in the front it is totally see through
- New Swimwear has some great patterns.
- The first is Nebulea which is a space print that come in a brief that comes in blue, red and green.
- Day of the Dead inspired suits are Skull & Roses, & printed swimsuits.
- Year of the Dragon inspired suits are the Printed Swimsuit and Dragon and Phoenix Suits.
These are not the entire line but some of the highlights. You can find Clever at some of your favorite online retailers.
This is one pair that I was really looking forward to reviewing from 2(x)ist. I am a big fan of underwear that is made out of spandex and really form fitting. When I saw the line I had to get a pair. So, when they sent me a pair of them I was really excited.
The Military line is available in Black, White, Green Camo, Black Camo, Lead and Army Green. All are colors that you could find in the military. The materials are Pique-Fle(X) cotton 57%, 37% Modal and 6% Spandex. Which makes it super comfy.
I am a briefs lover and really liked the fit of this pair. They never lost their shape or were binding. This is one thing that 2(x)ist does very well, make really comfortable underwear. This pair also has an “ultra-contoured pouch.” Which means that it is made to provide support and comfort.
The waistband is silver and really accents the pair well. It gives it a little bit of a pop. I think so many leave the waist and as an after thought. Not, 2xist with this pair.
I wore them to work. I loved how they felt through out the day. As I mentioned there were no problems and the sizing was true. 2(x)ist rarely, if ever, has problem with sizing. So if you buy a medium you will definably fit in them.
What I didn’t like? There isn’t much other then I wish they had created a thong or jock in the line. The brief is the skimpiest pair they currently offer.
Pros:
- The Ultra Pouch gave great support
- The materials were super soft and comfortable
- Waistband being silver really make the pair pop
Cons:
- Make the line in a thong or jock. I think the jock with the silver waist band would have been awesome.

Timoteo has released a new line in his Activewear collection. The two new styles are the Workout Legging and Short. Both are made 80% polyester and 20% spandex. Which makes it extra form fitting.This pair can be worn as a base layer or on it’s own.
Features Include:
- Athletic straight leg
- Artwork on pair is rubberized and won’t peel off
- Low Rise design
- Made in the USA
The legging retails for $38 and the short is $32. You can purchase both at the Timoteo site.
Today’s Brief Distraction is another picture from Timoteo. This is part of the Cellblock 13 line. The picture was taken by Timoteo and the model is Jose. The new line will be out very soon so keep checking out.
2(x)ist is one of the first companies I remember buying when I first started buying my own undies. They were founded in 1991 and I think I have been with them from the beginning. I must preface by saying I thought I did these reviews a weeks back but I noticed I couldn’t find them nor were they posted!
The Sport line is one that came out in the last few months. It is also, the briefs are one of the few pairs I have just bought. Having an underwear blog I rarely have to buy underwear, but I loved the No Show Brief so much and had to get apair. I really wanted the jock but they were out of them in my size. The joys of shopping a major department store, but luckily 2(x)st send me these!
The pair is a really well made. One thing that stands out are the colors. I received the Green/Black combo. The first thing I really noticed about the line is the waistband with the latex imprint of the 2(x)ist name. Great waistbands always catch my eye.
The pair is made out of 92% cotton and 8% spandex. Which made it fit very well and conform to my body. The leg straps were my only real issue. I wished they stretched a little more. There were no major issues wearing the pair in a normal day. As with most 2(x)ist underwear, the construction top notch and well sewn. The pair really lived up to my expectations. I am not sure you would wear them for active sports but it would be a great pair for running around town or going to the gym.
Sizing is rarely an issue with 2(x)ist the size they sent was correct and fit well. They have traditional American sizes.
Pros:
- Color was my favorite
- Waistband stood out
- Comfortable pouch
Cons:
- Wish the leg straps gave a little more

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Bum-Chums! They really have some really fun undies. This is Sneak Peek hip briefs. If you are a sheer fan then check out some of the great pairs!
It’s Tuesday so that makes it Baskit $12 Tuesday. Today’s pair is the Action Cool Square Cut As the Baskit Site says: “Stop fretting over exposed waistbands for good! Our Square Cut Brief’s built in waistband provides for a low profile and a clean look unlike any other.” Also, check out the other underwear and swimwear on sale. Just go to the Baskit Site and go under specials to see all the deal.
There are so many amazing underwear manufacturers who are becoming more environmental conscience and socially responsible. Soleone is one such manufacturer who’s created a biodegradable and hypoallergenic line of underwear. Likewise, within the fabric, they have built in properties to wick away odor and moisture, keeping you dry.
This particular pair titled, ‘Lower Riser’ is made mostly from bamboo fiber (95%) which is incredibly soft and luxuriously comfortable. With bamboo being a sustainable resource means it is grown without pesticides or fertilizers. We can all appreciate a garment that’s safe for our bodies and the environment. This line is only available in black or white.
Upon initial inspection of this brief, I was visually impressed with the quality of construction, elegant esthetic and the incredible feel of the fabric. I immediately threw them in the wash and slipped them on when they came out of the dryer. Throughout the remaining of the day, I was amazingly impressed with how well the low rise cut fit appropriately across my waistline and felt securely in place provided by the Soleone signature, spandex waistband.
However, these are extremely comfortable, well-constructed and provide a high quality of materials and definitely represent high end, fashionable underwear. I worn these several times within a 3 week period and never once found them uncomfortable or ever realized that I wearing a low rise brief. While I’m not excited about their price points on their line of underwear, I’m very impressed by the quality of fabrics and construction that go into their brief. If you’re looking for a classic and well-constructed low rise brief, you might consider giving these a try.

A crew neck (or crew-neck) is a type of shirt that has a round neckline and no collar, often worn with other layers. The T-shirt crew neck was developed in 1932 as an undergarment that would absorb sweat and prevent shoulder pads of American football players from causing chafing. The U.S. Navy was the first U.S. armed forces to adopt the crew-neck T-shirt or “Gob Shirt” (cited from Wikipedia)
The cre neck, “Gob Shirt,” or undershirt as it is known today continued to gain popularity throughout the 1940’s and by the 1950’s James Dean has created a legend. Dean turned heads in Hollywood, not by dressing up but by dressing down. His casual style teaming the basic crew with denim and a red jacket when he portrayed Jim Stark in ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ was considered uncouth at the time. However once immortalized on screen, James Dean had cemented a rebel 
uniform for his generation, and for many more to come….
To this day the crew neck is still considered a fashion essential amongst everyday men.
So when Equmen decided to launch their version of the iconic undershirt, the vision was clear. Head Designer Carolina Ale states ‘we wanted to take the legend of the crew and modernize the fit the needs of today’s man” says Ale.
This modern take on the classic crew neck tee will ‘help reduce neck and back pain, strengthen and support core muscles, improve you posture, enhance blood flow and circulation as well as regulate your body’s temperature making sure you stay clean, dry and supported all day,’ says Equmen’s CEO Anthony Pavlakis.
The shirt comes in black, white and new slate grey. Find them all at the Equmen site

Today’s Brief Distraction is from C-IN2. Yesterday we brought you information about the Filthy line and today we bring you another great pic. As you can see the underwear looks “filthy.” When I told to C-IN2 at Magic they told me each garment is hand rubbed to get the effect. It’s definitely a different look in underwear!

C-IN2 announces it’s new “FILTHY” underwear collection. The homepage at C-IN2.com states, “Get FILTHY March 9th, 2012. It also uses the risqué double entendre, “Clean is for pussies!” The dedicated “FILTHY” page goes on to to describe the new line as, “When comparing squeaky clean to filthy dirty, one is definitely more sexy! Filthy is a collection of textured fabrics that have been hand-rubbed with pigments and dyes to give a dirty worn-in, worked-in look. Giving credit to just plain hard work, Filthy was born. If you work hard, sweat and like getting filthy dirty, C-IN2 lets you flaunt it.”
Are you “FILTHY” minded? Check C-IN2.com and be among the first to get their hands on (or assets in) something “FILTHY!”
C-IN2’s Creative Director Gregory Sovell, who incidentally is the founder of 2(x)ist and later moved on to open his next underwear brand: C-IN2, hinted at what was coming down the pipeline. “I always thought that the concept of ‘Dirty’ might be sexier than the notion of ‘Clean” the designer mentioned in a Racked.com interview last October. We were also treated to the steamy PAROLE video shoot by Rick Day in C-IN2’s continuing saga of when law enforcement and sexy bad boys meet. In the video, snippets of hot models as parole violators in a trailer home park were being rounded up and arrested wearing their “FILTHY” underwear. The sexy bad boys who wore the “FILTHY” briefs were: Tattooed Diogo De Castro Gomes: Bulging Anthony Gallo: and Super Sexy Chris Whelan.
Timoteo worked with photographer David Wagner and got some amazing portrait images of Michael. David Wagner shot different Timoteo Underwear and swim wear, and on an amazing body like Michael Holland everything looks great!! At 6’1″and very well built Michael knows how to work the camera.
