We were contacted by Diego Barberi last month.  They are a new company out of Switzerland.  Here is what they sent us:

“We are four friends from Switzerland and Germany. While getting a beer at the “Apres Ski” (-> it´s called, when you get a drink at a bar or pub directly after skiing. It´s very common in Switzerland/ Austria/ Germany) in St. Moritz (Switzerland), we met a really crazy guy called “Diego Barberi”.

Because we loved him and his name immediately, some more beers later we decided: Wouldn’t it be great to create our own underwear label named “Diego Barberi”!? Style, fabric, fitting, quality, comfort… just the way, as we envision a perfect underwear!???

Now, some months later, we really produced our first Diego Barberi – Trunks 🙂 Please check them out here: www.diegobarberi.com

The line right now is a set of trunks, each one featuring a different embroidered design.  I wasn’t expecting that.  The pair I received was the Snow Flake.  As you know, I’m not a big trunk/boxer brief fan, but I always try to keep and open mind.

The box is very cool.  It presents the great photography produced by the company.  They’ve captured their models in the picturesque settings of Switzerland.  They have blown me away with the photography.  When I pulled them out of the package, the first thing I noticed was the embroidered design.  I like that because it will not fade or wear off over time.  The next thing, being the cardboard that underwear is usually wrapped around for packaging, is a post card.  Yes, a real postcard you can mail to your friends.  We take our hats off to you guys for being creative.

I wore them for a day and enjoyed them.  These are the types of trunks I like since they are very form fitting.  I don’t care for trunks that loose their shape.  These moved with me through out the day.  The cotton stretched nicely and with the 5% spandex, it definitely moved well with me.  If you are a trunks fan, you will definitely like these.  They began with a small line and only a few colors but we hope they will grow and we will see more from them.

Quicker than a ray of light, 2(X)ist zips into Spring 2011 with the all new NEON collection. Brilliant in both color and design, NEON reflects today’s digital age- fast, smart, and assured.

Constructed in soft-fle(x) cotton (90% cotton/ 10% spandex), NEON bursts onto the scene in vibrant colors like hibiscus, white, black, and Mediterranean blue in a variety of low-rise silhouettes. Each silhouette is further accented with neon piping elastics that add a bright flash for a streamlined, comfortable, and stretchy leg opening. Additionally, the new deep-v shirt shines as a bold, slim fitting option boasting a plunging neckline and neon-trimmed armholes. Go towards the light with 2(x)ist NEON.

If you like bright colors and low rise fits then check out the entire line at Skiviez!

I have to admit that Cocksox has been one of my favorite underwear companies for quite some time.  I love the way they fit and they have an amazing pouch.  I was recently sent a pair of the sports briefs to review.  These are some of the more “conservative” pairs they have to offer.  Most of their offerings are bikini or other cuts. That being said, I’m always excited to try some of the new pairs they produce.

I liked the more traditional styling of the pair.  You could easily wear these to the gym or around town without drawing too much attention.  The pouch wasn’t as pronounced as the others which would have been a good thing when I was on a job interview a few months back.  The CX01 creates a rather pronounced pouch.  It was quite noticeable.  These still provide a good pouch but didn’t push things out to that extent.  You could definitely wear them to work or other events.

I wore these under jeans for a day of errands, hanging out with friends, and relaxing on a low-key day.  I loved the look, as I said, and the fit.  Cocksox genuinely knows how to make underwear for men.  There was, however, one minor problem…the tag. We have all had undies with a tag that drove us crazy during the day.  This one was only mildly annoying as it irritated every so often.  Although a minor issue to me, I figured this was a production issue.  Other than that, it was a pretty awesome pair.

If you have wanted to try Cocksox and wanted a more “conservative” pair to start with, these are for you.  This would be great.  Cocksox furnished these for review.

We love ot see underwear companies profiled in main stream media. Here is what Equmen sent us:

The Steelers may have lost on Super Bowl Sunday, however Equmen scored with former Pittsburgh football icon Terry Bradshaw in his Today in America feature profile of Equmen.

When you can get the attention of football-great Terry Bradshaw, you know you’ve got something special going on!

Equmen, the pioneer in making men’s slimming/compression garments a mainstream product across the globe, was featured on Terry Bradshaw’s Today in America Show on CNN, this past Saturday February 5th.

You can find Equmen at their website.

We are restarting Underwear of the Month here at UNB.  In the past, we entertained the thought of having an Underwear of the Week, but coming up with 52 pairs a year is difficult to say the least.  For certain weeks, there were not many new pairs to feature.  Changing to monthly made it much easier to manage.

The first pair we selected is the 2(x)ist  All Star Brief.  If you aren’t familiar with these, they feature the waist band that is similar to a sock.  This is a feature I found very cool.  It’s something new that hasn’t been attempted often.  If you are a long-time reader of the blog, you know that I love the waistbands.  Brands that pay close attention to the waistband and try new things always get my attention.

The waistband is sort of ribbed like a sock top.  Here is the description from the 2(x)ist site:

“A classic athletic-inspired collection, All Star combines technical functionality and sporty fashion. The collection is made up of a breathable 55% cotton / 37% modal / 8% spandex fabrication constructed in a pique knit, with super sporty bindings and waistband. The trims are inspired by retro basketball sock designs; with varsity colored stripes in red, white, and blue as well as emerald, white, and gold.”

I do like sporty underwear.  I love the way they fit and keep everything in place.  I know there are many out there who don’t like feeling “constricted” but I like the extra support.  I really love the stripes and design of these.  I’m a firm believer that your underwear should reflect your personality.  Why dress great but wear plain and boring undies.  You have nothing to worry as these are nowhere close to boring.

2(x)ist is always known for great underwear.  These are no exception as they really did fit very well.  I will admit that I didn’t check to see if they were no show under clothes.  The fabric was very breathable and form fitting.  To me, it is important that you be able to wear sports-inspired briefs during any strenuous activity.  It is a pair I would recommend for an active guy.  The pair gives you support and fits wonderfully.

INTYMEN’S GOT THAT SWING (ENHANCED JOCK THAT IS)

The first thing you notice when someone wears the Intymen Swing Enhanced jockstrap is their bulge but upon closer inspection you’ll find a totally unique lifting system that not only does the trick but does it in a very natural and comfortable way. Although there’s a lot of effective bulge enhancing designs, most sacrifice comfort to accomplish it – not Intymen!

The pouch is actually two pieces of soft cotton (with a hint of spandex.) The first innermost panel is a traditional contoured jockstrap pouch with just the right about of stretch but a second outer panel of cotton runs a quarter of the way up from the base with a reinforced “swinging” elastic edge that sits right under your balls (think kangaroo pouch) providing the lift. You can’t really see this ingenious feature when wearing the jock, but it works like a charm.

As for the rest of the jock, it comes with a comfort 1 ½ inch elastic waistband and 1 inch leg straps. We’ve got these jockstraps in black, white and red all with contrasting grey waistbands.
