Some of you maybe familiar with DT Clothes and their underwear, but if you’re not here is an interview we did with them. We hope you get to know this brand a little better!

You have some really great mens underwear, how did you get into designing underwear? Did the clothing line come first or the Underwear?

I started designing underwear in 2003 when I noticed there wasn’t much variety (colours + prints) available on the market. I01_0013 started selling a basic y-front style in 5 colours and the brand has grown from there. I have spent the past 5 years selling underwear but have branched out into more clothing over the past year. This year we are expanding the DT Denim range and also adding more cool clothing lines to our collections.

You have a really great and colorful line, you have really great prints and bright colors to more traditional. where does your inspiration come from?

I love anything retro, and I am inspired a lot by 60s, 70’s, and 80’s pop culture. I try to create something different by twisting that which already exists. I think this philosophy maintains the DT brands originality but the customer can also identify with the classic/timeless elements of my designs.

Colors and patterns are coming back to the world on mens underwear, do you see any other trends we may expect in the next year?

01_0056Many underwear labels are now doing crazy colours and prints so I think the next phase will be the use of different fabrics and cuts. I have some really unique designs being released in the coming months and as the competition is getting stronger all the time I always have to be thinking well ahead of current trends.

Is there any pair that you have created that really surprised you by selling more then you expected?

I don’t want to sound arrogant but I don’t release anything I don’t think will sell. All of my designs have sold well but of course there are some designs that sell better than others. The 8-Ball brief has been a top seller for 4 years. Personally I find it quite boring compared to some of the other prints but I think that’s probably because it has been around the longest. I get over them very quickly but never have a shortage of fresh ideas ready to move forward with.

What are some of your current best sellers?

Our current top selling prints are:
1 – Ken Evil
2 – Aloha Massacre
3 – 8-Ball
4 – Triangles Yellow
5 – Rubble03_0065

We haven’t seen you in many stores (retail and online) are we going to see a larger presence in the US? We know you are currently carried by and Fresh Pair.

I don’t do much advertising and marketing so I guess that’s why you don’t see DT everywhere. I think a lot of stores only take on popular mass market brands. We have a small loyal customer base which I am happy with as I prefer to work with stockists that support us for the long term and help us develop better quality products. I really don’t want the DT brand to become a mass market trash brand and I have become more selective with the stockists that carry DT.

What are some of your plans for the future? Any new styles or colors you plan to add?

I release a few new designs every month and have a heap of new designs on the drawing board ready to go. We are constantly expanding the DT Clothes line and will continue to do so indefinitely. For me it’s about being creative, it’s what I do and it’s what I love. I don’t ever want to stop being creative.

I first need to start off this post with an apology.  N2N was nice enough, several months ago, to send us a pair of their Titan Runner to review, size medium and in black. As an avid runner and tri-athlete, I know I was going to have a blast reviewing these for UNB.  I didn’t get the chance, however, to truly try them out for their intended purpose (running) until just a few days ago and I didn’t think I could give an accurate review without running in them first.  Therefore, I apologize to you, the UNB audience, and to N2N for not getting this review out sooner.

I have always been a fan of N2N, both their swimwear and their underwear. When I found out that I was going to have the opportunity to review some of their active wear, I was very excited. N2N was gracious to send me a pair of the Titan Runners to review. The best part about these running tights is that they aren’t limited to running.  I found myself wearing these as underwear and erotic wear as well.

These Titan Runners from N2N are the perfect fit for running, jogging, and working out. You’ll defiantly feel the quality that N2N is known for when you slip into these low rise running pants. The Titan runner features a c-ring opening behind a snap-secured pouch for simple, quick, and easy full exposure.

I received The Titan Runners right in the middle of a hot and humid Iowa summer, so to wear them running was not the first thought that came to mind.  Before I tried running in them, I wore them under a pair of dress pants for a sleek trimmed look with a little help in the front from the built in c-ring opening, sitting behind a three snap secured pouch.  The look was amazing! As I move into the cold Iowa winters, these will defiantly be a choice for everyday underwear.

Not only were these great to wear as underwear, but the c-ring opening and snap pouch provide a little extra excitement in the bedroom, as I found myself wearing these as erotic wear.  Their shiny tricot 80% nylon and 20% Lycia fabric give a sexy look, turning things up a notch in the bedroom.

I finally got out in my Titan Runners the other day and ran about 5 miles.  They were the most amazing running pants I have ever worn while running. After being an avid runner and a tri-athlete since high school, I have worn my fair share of running tights. These stayed in place and allowed me to move freely without binding or being too restrictive as I ran my 5-mile route around our neighborhood.  The c-ring and pouch kept the fabric close to my body, keeping me warm, but allowed just the right amount of support for my package without feeling restricted.

The N2N Titan Runner is amazing, and for anyone that is looking for a great pair of running pants, these are it. From the fabric to the construction of the tights, N2N really hit it home with the Titan Runner. They should be in every runner’s wardrobe.

Fit:                                       5
Materials:                            5
Put Together:                       5
Look:                                    5

The Titan Runner comes in three colors: Metallic Green, White, and Black.  They can be purchased through N2N’s website for $46.00 and come in sizes Small, Medium, and Large.
