Tell us about Garcon Model, how did you guys get started in the Men’s Underwear world? 

In 2012 we were inspired to manufacture high-end and high quality men’s underwear for the every-day wear. We’ve tried hundred of different brands, style and colors and their wasn’t anything that we truly liked; So we decided why not make our own brand that would please modern men. We wanted men to feel sharp and confident in their style of underwear whether they worn it under a suit, at the gym or under a pair of jeans. We also designed the fabric to be ultra comfortable, and convenient for today’s activities with iron-free technology and moisture-wicking properties.

You have just recently launched, what are the styles you currently offer?

A year in the making of carefully selecting the fabric, shape, colors and the right type of stitching is what is making our brand a top quality brand. We’ve focused our energy on 15 great pairs for people to start with! Our sexy collection of briefs, trunks and boxers comes in 5 classic colors.

The photography you guys did for the launch is amazing, was there a theme behind the pictures? Where was your location?

Selecting the right models and location took months, after extended research we found the right spot and models in Croatia. We were looking for a unique location that would be eye catching for our customers. We’ve also shot a behind the scene footage for our fans at www.youtube.com/garconmodel !

What inspires you guys to create new underwear? 

Our slogan at Garçon Model™ is “Undress for success”. With this philosophy in mind, we wanted to offer masculine classic designs that would look sharp and even eye-catching in any occasions. Our customers appreciate this sense of luxury and masculinity in our designs.

Where can our readers find you?

In February, we will be partnering with a very talented designer at New York Fashion week.  And of course, Garçon Model can be found online at www.garconmodel.com or via our social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc…

Iconic Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are heating things up in the southern hemisphere by adding two new ranges of swimwear briefs to its summer collection, entitled “40 Degrees & 38 Degrees”.  That’s 104 & 100 Fahrenheit for those in the USA & others.    Once again the new ranges highlight a removable “Bulge Booster” pouch substituting for those cold water moments.

The “38 Degrees” range has two front square coloured panels one of cool blue and the other of white with opposite coloured leg trims.  To bring to light the rear, matching cool blue snugs the behind.  Heating things up to “40 Degrees” 2wink replaced the cool blue panel with a sizzling hot peach.  Both designs have a draw-string neatly hidden inside and centred to the waistband.  Each pair includes the “Bulge Booster” foam mould that can be inserted into or removed from the inside pocket in the front pouch. Branding the design and nicely positioned to the front is the Company’s rubber logo.

The ranges were shot at popular Australian beach, Cottesloe in Western Australia, Headquarters of 2wink on a warm Aussie summer’s day.   “We were in the middle of the shoot when the crew of the Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club came to investigate a growing crowd.  Before the crew knew it, we had them posing next to the models with much excitement” says 2wink Australian co-owner Carl McNeill.  “The girls and the guys from the Surf Life Saving Club enjoyed having their photo taking with the models and it added a buzz to an already hot summers day”

The 100% Aussie-made 40 Degrees & 38 Degrees swimsuits are made from the finest imported Italian Nylon.  The physique-showcasing swim briefs are fully lined to the front.  Each swimsuit retails for around $54.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.

The Underwear of the Week this week is the Personal Fit Factor Shower Brief. This is a pair that Greg from C-IN2 was telling me about at Magic. This pair is one that uses the trophy shelf technology to give more room up front. For those of you who need it, it will be a welcome addition. Also the pouch has extra pleats to give the extra room, so it can stretch with your body. It’s great to see an underwear company pay attention to the male anatomy. Each guy is different, some need more up front, others need it in the back. That is true for the staff members here!

The reasons this pair is underwear of the week is:

  • Uses the Trophy Self pouch
  • Inverted pleats allow for EXTRA room as needed
  • No Center Seam
  • 95 Cotton; 5 Spandex/Elastane/Lycra
  • Available in white and black

You can find this pair on the C-IN2 website for $24.00. Also check out the other pairs in the line as well!

New innovative men’s underwear brand D.HEDRAL announces Selfridges as its first worldwide stockist.

Launching in-store and online today, Selfridges offers the iconic ‘Gigolo Joe’ style (including two new colours) as well as ‘Sid’ briefs and trunks.

D.HEDRAL is the latest evolution in men’s underwear offering improved fit and maximum comfort.

Developed over three years, D.HEDRAL utilises patented ‘Anglefit’ technology that factors the roundness of the wearer’s bum to create a snug second skin.

‘Anglefit’ introduces three angles (135° Slim, 115° Average, 95° Full) that change the capacity and support of the underwear, allowing it to cling and stretch perfectly over the natural curves of the body to create a flattering silhouette.

Think of D.HEDRAL as the difference between investing in a made-to-measure shirt compared with off-the-peg.

This innovative concept combined with the finest lightweight luxury Italian fabric ensures supreme comfort and breathability.

Prices from £26 – £31 per pair D.HEDRAL is available exclusively at Selfridges Oxford Street and selfridges.com

IT’S WRESTLE MANIA AT JOCKSTRAP CENTRAL

It’s official, wrestle mania is on at Jockstrap Central based on the huge success of their previously launched singlets and now with the arrival of their latest singlets from American Jock.

They’ve brought in totally see-through singlets and singlets with the bum cut out of them but from customer feedback, they knew some of their customers (and fans) wanted a traditional singlet with a bit of style for those more conservative wrestling matches (whether it’s in a professional ring or at your local bar’s jello wrestling contest). If that’s what you’re looking for, then look no further than the Contrast Singlet.

The great thing about this singlet is it’s styled like a genuine high school wrestling uniform with a scoop front neck along with spacious armholes for extra mobility. Contrast side panels give them an ultra-sporty appearance.

As expected and desired, the suit is made with polyester and lycra for that body hugging feature of a singlet with just enough stretch to prevent too much flattening of that bulge you want everyone to see.

Jockstrap Central has these singlets in either red with black side panels, or blue with white side panels. Be sure to check out their website to see their models Santos and Ryan Russell in these hot new singlets.

Also, Jockstrap Central has their Free USA and Discounted Worldwide Shipping Promotion on right now, so if you spend $25 or more (like one of those American Jock Singlets) you’ll qualify for free or discounted shipping depending where in the world you are

I have to admit that Cocksox has been one of my favorite pairs to review on UNB. They make underwear that just fits me well and gives me the great support. The support is the important thing to me in underwear. This is my second jock to review from them; the first was the Leopard Jock. That pair quickly became one of my favorites and so I had very high hopes for this pair!

Let’s face it, there are only so many places that you can wear a leopard jock and get away with it. However, it does make a great pair to wear on a date night. The new pair I got was red with a black waistband. Made out of 92% suplex/8% Spandex blend. The material created a really great pouch. Which is one of my favorite things about Cocksox. The large size I got was a great fit for me. Their sizing is about the same as the US.

I wore these on a weekend for some errands and hanging out with friends. It was a low key but a great way to try out a pair. The pair was amazingly comfortable. The jock fit as well as the leopard jock. The pouch shows off what you have but gives really great support. It was one of those pairs that feel like you aren’t wearing any underwear. The leg straps fit great too; there was no bunching or rolling. As I said I forgot I was wearing a jock through out the day. Luckily I wasn’t going anywhere special and didn’t really pay attention to how much I was showing off under my jeans.

The jock is going to be one of my favorite pairs. As I have said I recently lost weight and am building my collection in the new size. It gets hard to go through the underwear drawer and find favorite pairs that I can’t fit in. So, a pair that fits great and in the new size is a good thing

Pros:

  • Great fit through out the day
  • Incredibly supportive pouch
  • Bright fun colors
  • Materials that move and stretch

Cons:

  • Can show off a little too much of your business

Jockstrap Central had their eye on Pistol Pete for a while, but when they saw the Duo Jock and Mesh Power Jock, they knew they had to fast track them to the top of their launch schedule. Here’s the details of these hot jockstraps:

Duo Jock

Pistol Pete’s Duo Jock get’s it’s name from it’s unique dual waistband with a sexy twist: The pouch is constructed of a soft ribbed, mostly cotton fabric – the rib is not only an interesting design feature but provides extra stretch and with the hint of spandex – it’s pouch perfection that’s comfortable yet form fitting. Your “boys” are going to love you for it. The twist is the double waist band which not only provides extra support but creates a split between the two which is a welcome addition (and handy exit) when something pops up.

Mesh Power Jock

Pistol Pete goes space-age with this future fashion jock called fittingly, the Power Jock: This jockstrap features a contoured mesh pouch, while not overly see-through, provides welcome ventilation (especially considering the synthetic fabric). Contrasting edging plus a centered V of extra piping add support and accentuates the contouring of the pouch – creating an almost torpedo shape and draws the eye to the missile beneath. It’s explosive!

The Duo Jock comes in white with black detailing or black with red detailing. The Power Jock comes in three color variations: Black with white detailing, blue with black detailing or red with black detailing. Be sure to check out Jockstrap Central’s website to see their sexy model Marcus putting Pistol Pete through their paces
