This is our second pair of Kiniki to review. The first pair really impressed me, so I was really looking forward to trying the brief. Yes I am a brief guy and they are my underwear of choice on a daily basis. The pair I got to review is the Latimer Trim Brief in XL. Again, the sizing for this is a large for the US.  It fit pretty well. I would suggest this one for anyone around 36 inches or so.

The brief looked very cool to me. The body was navy and the waistband was a snake print. Now, I’m not normally one for snake print but there is something about it that I really liked. It was different but not over the top. I love a great waistband in a pair of undies. It’s the icing on the cake for me, something few people see but to me an important part of undies. I know we have guys who read who could care less or like plain bands but not me!

I wore the brief to work. You maybe asking why we say where we wore the pair, but I think to really try out an underwear you have to put it in every day situations. To me work is where I find if a pair of underwear will be good or not.  The pair wore great through out the day. One thing that worried me was the lack of a defined pouch. To me it can go either way with a pair without pouches. But, the pair felt good all day.

Will I wear this pair again? Definitely, the pair has a good design, great materials and the waistband is awesome. The pair is made out of 95% cotton and 5% elastane for “improved fit” third site says.  The 5% elastane gives it some give and not as rigid as 100% cottong.

Pros:

  • Great waist band
  • Classic brief styling
  • Holds up through the day

Cons:

  • No contour pouch design

Ratings:

  • Fit – 4.5
  • Materials – 4.5
  • Construction – 4.5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 4.5
  • Overall -4.5

These were furnished for review by Kiniki and can be found on their website.

The third week of the month is Thong week! I know there are many out there who are not fond of thongs but we hope this week will get you to consider some of the thongs we feature. Brandon on our site said every guy should wear a thong once! We couldn’t agree more! The pair we chose as Underwear of the Week is the newly released Gregg Homme Venom Thong .

Picking jut one pair from Gregg Homme is never an easy task. There are so many great pairs to choose from. The Venom line  has a snake embossed print, which is Gregg Homme’s take on snake skin. This thong would be great under a suit or on a date night!

I have said it before and it remains true with this line, Gregg Homme makes sexy underwear that you can wear everyday.This is why its so hard to pick just one pair. If you haven’t ever tried Gregg Homme I would say you should start with this pair and try others. Some of their best sellers have been thongs! So, they know how to make really great thongs.

Reasons why this thong is our underwear of the month

  • Great fabric – 95% polyester and 5% spandex
  • The pouch is scaled with a matching center seam to provide support
  • fabric is made from a highly breathable material and culminates into a Y-back
  • 1 inch elastic waistband
  • Available in Red & Black
  • Retails for $33.95

Find this on the Gregg Homme site.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Andrew Christian has given us all something to be thankful for this year. The latest video in their collection “WET” will quickly become a fan favorite and be talked about for years to come.

This video marks the long overdue return of Brandon Wertz and Jose Valdivia (both from “Tag Me”) Brandon’s muscular body and gorgeous face take the spot light and leave you wanting more, while Jose doesn’t waste any time to bare it all. Luckily for all of us, Andrew Christian is never shy to give you more!

Another fan favorite Sean Paul Lockhart (Brent Corrigan) fills out the Arena Brief Jock perfectly with his famous bubble butt. His fan base will also fall in lust over Josh Scarpuzzi, the latest twink model for Andrew Christian. Josh used those baby blue eyes and innocent face to place him in the top 5 for the online Andrew Christian model contest.

Austin Wilde and Anthony Romero, A few weeks ago both guys showed up to shoot with Creative Director Timoteo Ocampo. They got to work quickly steaming up the camera lens with a football locker room setting. “Both these guys are super sexy in person and great guys to work with.” said Timoteo about the shoot. Shot was everything from new CellBlock 13 Football short, to the Mechanic briefs, and a sneak peak at the CellBlock 13 denim shorts for Spring/Summer 2013.

When Activeman, a company known for it’s affordable traditional jockstraps broke into the men’s underwear market, they did it right with two incredible styles, a comfort contour pouched brief and a super soft, super stretch modal trunk that have become the top drawer underwear for so many guys.

While both the Activeman Sports Brief and Modal Liberty Trunk have contoured pouches and stylish comfort waistbands, the two underwear styles are totally unique:

The Liberty Trunk (regularly $14.95, now only $11.96) is constructed of one of the most exciting new fabrics out there: Modal. It’s natural, soft, smooth, ultra-stretchy and like cotton, breathes well. Of course, our favorite feature of modal is simply it’s stretchability and it’s nature to expand adapting to anything that may pop up!

The Activeman Sports Brief (regularly $12.95, now only $10.36) is constructed of a sturdy but stretchy cotton with a touch of Elastane for the ultimate fit. The fully formed and roomy ergonomic 3d pouch ensures the utmost in comfort for a guy.

Whether you are already a convert or a convert to be – you’ll want to stock up on this already affordable underwear while it’s on sale for 20% off at Jockstrap Central. Along with their free and discounted shipping promotion for orders over $25, that’s some pretty awesome savings

I don’t have to tell most people in the U.S. that it is COLD! This year has been the year of Long Johns. Not the ones your father used to wear. But really fashionable ones that fit great and keep you warm. The 2(X)ist Tartan line is one that has the classic styling of long johns you know, but with a fun tartan waistband. I will say that these are a little on the tame side of the long johns spectrum. However, sometimes classic is a good thing!

The Tartan line is available in Black, White and Scotts Red in a 100% cotton blend. It also has a fully functional fly and cuffed leg bands. The retail on the 2(X)ist site is $34.00

There is one thing I really love about UNB, it allows me to try new brands. Some of the ones that I never heard of have become some of my favorite Kiniki could be one of those companies, I had only heard of once or twice in passing.. Kiniki is a British company founded in 1970 that has been making great undies many of you in the UK may know about already.

The pair I got to review is the Camden Trip Hipster. As you know, if you are a long time reader, I am not a big fan of boxer briefs. But over the course of the last four years I have tried some really great boxer briefs. So I haven’t totally changed my opinion but I’m not as rigid in my underwear choice now! I will give many more pairs a chance.

The Hipster is one that is a magenta color with a digital pattern waistband. It’s a little on the funky side. If the shows over your jeans you will definitely get noticed. I really like this waistband, it’s different yet not too over the top. The pair is an XL, which in the US is a large. I have lost a good bit of weight so going down in sizes is a good thing.  Definitely check the sizing charts, because in the world of undies not everyone uses the same sizes.

I wore these to work on a regular day. To me wearing a pair in every day use is the best review. They fit really well through out the day. There isn’t a defined pouch, which had me kind of skeptical. However, after the day they fit really well. The legs didn’t ride up and I barely noticed that I was wearing boxer briefs. They were very comfortable and I enjoyed wearing them.

Pros:

  • Great waistband design
  • Fit great throughout the day
  • Loved the bright color

Cons:

  • No Defined pouch

Ratings:

  • Fit – 4.5
  • Materials – 4.5
  • Construction – 4.5
  • Look – 4.5
  • Daily Wear – 4.5
  • Overall -4.5

Kiniki furnished these for review. They can be found at their site for $31.99 but currently on sale for $15.99

Rob Wilson, who recently made his debut as The Price is Right’s first-ever male model, visited MensUnderwearStore.com for his second photo shoot with the underwear retailer last Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rob first shot with MensUnderwearStore.com in April 2011.

“Everybody’s been great here,” said Rob. “It’s good to be back in St. Louis.”

Rob said his schedule has been a lot busier since he began taping ‘The Price is Right’ but said that he enjoys the variety. “It’s exciting to work in front of the audience, my energy feeds off of them,” said Rob. “It’s not all posing which is great because it’s kind of like a mixture between modeling and acting.”

“It’s nothing too crazy, but I do get recognized more,” Rob said of his new-found fame, “especially when I’m at the gym for some reason.” Rob, originally from Boston, now lives in Los Angeles as he pursues his career as a model and actor.

The photo shoot featured Rob in various designer underwear, swimwear and loungewear available at MensUnderwearStore.com including Emporio Armani, 2(x)ist, C-IN2 and Diesel. Photos of Rob will continue to be launched on the pages of MensUnderwearStore.com and he will also appear in the MensUnderwearStore.com 2012 Holiday Gift Guide.

Meanwhile, check out some fun outtake photos from Rob’s shoot with MensUnderwearStore.com:
Behind the Scenes with Rob Wilson of ‘The Price is Right’

This past weekend we shot the UNB Holiday Guide. It had to have been our largest guide yet. We had over 80 pairs, 3 models and some great sponsors. The picture above is the three models – Kyle, Cody and Adam. They were so much fun to work with, and we definitely will be using them again. It was a very long day, it started for me at 10 am finishing up the last details, tracking down packages and stressing. Which followed by checking in the room, setting up and getting everything started. The shoot started around 3:30 PM and ended about 8:15 PM. Way longer then I had expected. I will say all three models kept me laughing through out the shoot. Cody you have seen in our Swimwear Guide and he’s back for the Holiday Guide. Adam has the boy next door look,  great sense of humor and looks great all kinds of undies. Kyle seemed very serious at first but really enjoyed the shoot and a spoiler he looks great in a singlet.

The picture below is the aftermath of the shoot. There were 80 pairs of underwear laying around the room. I kept saying it looked like we partied with Guns and Roses! But we were worn out! Let me know which model you want to see again soon! There are two people I have to thank, the first is Brian the photographer and send is Matt From Designer Drawers. He found us Kyle and Adam! The guide will be out on Nov 23rd! So stay tuned, I am picking the pics tonight. It may sound like a fun job but it’s HARD to pic the best pic!
