90084-_1_Are you looking for a great pair of undies for yourself? Maybe a nice bikini cut or brief? One of the newest pairs from Andrew Christian is the new Tagless Apex Brief. You may be thinking, “This looks just like an average pair of briefs.” You would be wrong. And we’ll get to that in a minute.

The pair has a sporty look with the contrasting trim. The both the color combinations, Navy or Red, really pop with the trim. I especially like the navy and white combo best. The trim also accents the pouch as well. Speaking of the pouch. It’s not your average pouch.

The pouch allows you to hang free. Meaning it’s designed to let a guy be a guy. Unlike some of their other pouches the Hang-Free pouch design doesn’t have straps, cups, padding or anything to enhance the pouch. More guys are gravitating to these pouches. Including myself, I hate straps and such.

The official description is “The limited edition Apex Tagless Brief may seem like another basic pair of underwear. That could not be more wrong. In two classic color options and Tagless, each pair features sporty contrast trim and is built to make you feel and look amazing. It features our hang-free design with no hidden cups, straps or padding. Each pair has extra room in front, just where you need it. When you pull them on, your package falls naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable unique wearing experience. It virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing. Highlight all your assets in this brand new offering.”

Made out of a 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex blend, that will fill great all day. It’s a great fabric to make the hang free pouch. Find the Tagless Apex Brief at the Andrew Christian Website.

Andrew Christian furnished the Black Collection Air Tagless Boxer for review.

Rating: 10/10

  • Daily Fit: 10/10
  • Sizing: 10/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 10/10

Pros: Fabric, Pouch, Executive Look

Cons: Absolutely Zero

SALVATORE Recommendation: The Andrew Christian Black Collection is an amazingly crafted set of briefs and boxers. Designed to spew fashion on any occasion and under anything. Andrew and his LA-based design team seem to have created the world’s sleekest and classy cuts for any man. The boxer is no exception to the rule when compared against the other designs in the collection.

I am a true fan of modal fabric and great fitting pouches in designer underwear. This boxer combines the two to create a utopic fit that goes beyond most other products on the market. You can see that I review the pair with a perfect ten. The reason is simple—It really is that great. The pouch and fabric take the cake!

90017_black_boxerThe pouch is the signature oversized anatomical design that Andrew Christian has perfected. Many argue that he is the originator of the ergonomic delight that so many brands have caught on to. That can be an argument for another post. If you like the natural feel and hang of anatomical pouches, this boxer does not disappoint.

The fabric of the brief is one of my favorites. Modal is always awesome. However, the rayon made from modal is an extra soft feel next to the skin that gives a next to nothing composition. This delightful fabric stays in place. It creates a seamless look under clothing, and keeps the legs from bunching too much when seated. The boxer displays the ultimate comfort in men’s underwear fabrics.

I know many of our readers who prefer bikinis/briefs are reluctant to try boxers and trunks I encourage all of you that not matter what you prefer, give this boxer a chance. The price might be a little intimidating, but if you keep an eye on the Andrew Christian site, they are sure to run a sale. This is a must-have addition to your collection.

This pair was furnished by Andrew Christian for review

Rating: Overall 9/10

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • Classic color scheme
  • Soft and comfortable material
  • Great pouch

Cons:

  • Some may not like the BLOW on the waistband
  • The pouch is supportive but not ergonomically designed. Looser fit
  • More of a fashion jock

UNB Tim’s Recommendation: It’s a great jock for running errands or a day at work. I am not sure I would wear it to the gym or active. I could see it under a suit or a night out. The fabric will be something I think most guys will love. This will be a pair I plan to wear often.


One of the pairs we received from Andrew Christian is the BLOW Gilded Jock. It is one I really wanted to try. I really liked the look of the jock and the fabric. The previous review of the FUKR Net Brief, I hoped it lived up to or even exceeded that review.

The jock didn’t disappoint. It was probably one of the most comfortable pairs I have tried from Andrew Christian. The pouch is made out of 95% Cotton 5% Spandex blend. It was super soft. It really felt awesome on. The pouch was supportive and not too tight. A lot of sports jocks can be super tight. This one let things fall naturally and comfortably.

I wore the BLOW Gilded Jock on a very hot day. In Atlanta, we were blessed with 90-degree weather in September. This was a great choice for the day. I wore it to a job where I was outside and in the car a lot. The jocks material and design kept me cool. I was really happy about that. One design element I really like is the strap design. It’s not a strap sewn onto the waistband. The design has a solid fabric sewn into the waistband. Then the leg straps attached. This kept the straps in place.

The sizing is pretty spot on. Again, I never had an issue with Andrew Christian sizing. They have had a consist ant sizing over the years. Just make sure you double check the size guide for the exact sizes. The XL I received fit pretty well.

Lastly, is the design. I really like the solid black with gold trim. The center seam is gold as well as the waistband BLOW writing. Black and Gold is a classic combination. It also comes in white and red.

Andrew Christian furnished the Almost Naked Steel Tagless Brief for review.

Rating: 8.6/10

  • Daily Fit: 7/10
  • Sizing: 8/10
  • Construction: 10/10
  • Styling: 10/10
  • Daily Performance: 8/10

Pros: Great stripe, soft Fabric, amazing cut.

Cons: Pouch is cut smaller than normal Almost Naked line.

SALVATORE Recommendation: I have been eyeballing this brief since Andrew Christian released it a while back. Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked line is what caused me to seriously consider anatomical pouches back in 2011. Since then, I always try and scope out his new products. Andrew Christian always produces superior products.

90045_brief_4_copyI do believe that every man should have the finest that the industry has to offer. Because I enjoy the anatomical pouch, I consider myself a student of the evolution of ergonometry (Yes, I just made that word up)! Andrew Christian is definitely one of the top producers of anatomical pouches to date. This brief took me by surprise. The pouch was much tighter and more restrictive than the typical Andrew Christian Almost Naked anatomical pouch. I found the pouch binding and almost uncomfortable. This brief’s pouch finds it’s best use in the gym or playing sports that need restriction in the crotch area of the underwear.

The fabric is amazing. I am not sure how Andrew Christian has perfected a cotton/lycra blend that feels so great. The lightweight airy feel of the brief truly lives up to it’s namesake—Almost Naked. I could barely feel the fabric next to my skin. This is something I always enjoy as a base layer.

The construction of the brief is absolutely top notch. The design and production teams in Los Angeles spare not expense in creating near perfection. Stylish and appropriate for all types of wear and use, the Andrew Christian Almost Naked Steel Tagless Brief is a great addition to my top drawer and I recommend that you give it a shot as well.

  • Daily Fit: 9/10
  • Sizing: 9/10
  • Construction: 9/10
  • Styling: 9/10
  • Daily Performance: 9/10

Pros:

  • Super comfortable mesh fabric
  • Great supportive pouch
  • Sexy design perfect for every day wear

Cons:

  • Those guys who don’t like bright waistband may not like the FUKR band
  • If you’re conservative in underwear choice this is not for you
  • Mesh isn’t for everyone

UNB Tim’s Recommendation:

If you want a super sexy and fun pair of underwear. The Andrew Christian FUKR Net Brief 90036 is it. The mesh fabric is one of the best I ever tried. It’s fun, sexy and amazingly comfortable. I recommend this pair for anyone wanting to try or who already love mesh underwear


We got a few pairs of new Andrew Christian to review. One pair I was very curious about was the FUKR Net Brief. I am a fan of mesh but it’s not all meshes. There are a few that make you feel like you are rubbing your manhood against a cheese grater. Ok, that was a little too over the top but it’s true. Some mesh fabrics were made to be taken off. I had a bit worried about this pair but I was going to give it a try.

I wore these on a weekend day where it was going to be around the house. Just in case things went down hill with these. The first thing I noticed was the pouch. Net underwear in the past really haven’t had great pouches. I slid them on and I was seriously impressed. The mesh didn’t feel like mesh. It felt more like a solid fabric. It never got annoying at all. To say I was impressed is an understatement. The fabric was pretty incredible. I could have worn these on a regular day. Where have these been in the HOT southern summer.

The pair is made out of the following fabric. The Light Cool Fabric Content: 57% Cotton 38% Polyester 5% Spandex and Soft Contrast Stretch Fabric Content: 93% Cotton 7% Spandex. This fabric really impressed me. I was not expecting it to be so comfortable throughout the day. It was a very wise choice of them to use.

The sizing of the pair was pretty much as guaranteed. I wore and XL and that is my normal size. It fit me just fine. Make sure you double check the size chart. I don’t recall anyone really complaining about AC and their sizing. You should be good picking

I really liked this pair. I will wear it much more and not just on date nights. The FUKR brief is perfect for hot and humid weather like Atlanta in 90+ degree heat. If you’re looking for something super sexy and fun, give this brief a look. I don’t think you will be disappointed

90004_AIR THONG _11_It’s Thong Thursday! Today I wanted to showcase a thong for those who like the g-string side of the thong world. We have quite a few readers who love this style. Oddly enough, I rarely see g-strings from brands. Sure, we have all kinds of thongs but g-strings? Not so much. I don’t know if this is the seedier side of underwear. But, regardless we think all guys should wear what they love!

Andrew Christian  has released the Air Thong. You maybe saying “It looks just like a regular g-string.” Oh, not so fast my thong loving friend. This one features the fabric from the Air line. It’s very similar to a sports mesh and allows some breathability. It also makes it just a bit see through. Let’s face it, if you’re daring to bare as much as this pair shows off, the semi-mesh fabric wouldn’t be a deal breaker. I actually find it a bonus.

The Air Thong comes in three colors. Black, White, and Yellow. Each of the pairs has a black elastic with matching black trim around the pouch. I personally am a fan of the Yellow version. The white and black are classic in the world of underwear. I think you should always spice up your undies, especially a thong!

For you pouch guys the pouch of the Air Thong is anatomically designed. It will fit you pretty well. From the picture ,It looks like its well designed. I think many times the pouches on g-strings are an after thought. It can be one of those pairs that is meant to be on for an hour before the fun begins.

If you are interested in this pair you can find it at the Andrew Christian website.

2.MV-ContrastLine-Lifestyle With LogoNew swimwear and unique beach towels by Modus Vivendi
Showing a great passion for men’s fashion, Modus Vivendi releases two original lines from its extensive swimwear collection for 2016. The first is called Contrast and features swimwear designs handcrafted with fabrics of the same colour but different finish. Mat and shiny panels are mixed to create a fresh take on classic swim briefs and swim trunks styles. The second line is called Towel and comprises shorts made from towelling and the unique beach towels by Modus Vivendi. The shorts are in a retro style with deep curved, sexy sides and the original towels feature buttons which can transform them into a very practical and stylish men’s pareo. Both, shorts and towels, are available in four colours and four sizes.

The campaign of these new lines takes place in Greece, the home of Modus Vivendi. Greek models Sotiris Thomaidis and Alexandros Kaltsidis pose on the sunny beach photographed by the talented team of P2Photography. The heart warming images have references to the half mat, half shiny look of the Contrast swimwear and the relaxed and confident style of the Towel line.

Andrew Christian has released a new pair in his FUKR range. It’s called the FUKR Bound Brief. I know when you looked at this you thought it was something else written didn’t you? But nope, It maybe pronounced the same way but it’s not spelled it!

Andrew says this about the pair: “This pair sports our brand new, FUKR waistband and neon contrast stitching, giving all attention to your assets. Show-off extra skin with the cris-cross pattern, leaving little to the imagination. Each pair has extra room in front, just where you need it. When you pull them on, your package falls naturally into the anatomically correct pouch, showing-off your package. It virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing”

This is a pair has a a bit of sexy. The side has a cut out with the criss-cross on the side. It shows a bit of skin without going it all away. Another thing I really like about the pair is the waistband. Its a thicker one and the Yellow really sets both pairs off. The black and yellow is a combination that really pops.

If you’re looking or something with a bit of sex appeal and skin. This pair could be the pair for you. It’s a great pair for a date night. Especially if you’re going to get to show them off!  It’s my opinion that a date night pair should make you feel sexy!

The pair is made out of a 95% Cotton 5% Spandex. It also comes in either black or red. Both pairs have the new FUKR yellow waistband. If you love this pair and want to get it, this limited edition pair retails for $25 at the Andrew Christian website.  If this isn’t your cup of tea, then check out other pairs on the Andrew Christian site.

This is a new brief from Andrew Christian call the Palm Brief. I really love the print and colors. I’m not a big florescent color guy but something about this just pops. The thing I think I like best is the print is against a black background. If it had been a while background It wouldn’t have the same effect.

Today we feature the Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Jock w/Show-it. “Stun any crowd with our package enhancing pouch, and bright straps that support and showcase that booty. Our Show-It Technology is a hidden “comfy cup” that gently lifts and provides excellent frontal support and enhancement. This horseshoe shaped inner cup is lined by soft elastic and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement and provides the biggest natural enhancement of any underwear in our line. This new style features our signature Trophy Boy waistband that let’s everyone know what you’re working with.”

The Trophy Boy Jock is $27.50 on the Andrew Christian Site.

7418 _2_ copyIn the world of entertainment (film & TV), Leopard/Animal print bikinis are the comical pair someone would wear when their pants would get ripped off. Animal print wasn’t “cool.” but those days are gone. Now animal print can be fun and sexy. Andrew Christian has taken the animal print and made a pair of swimwear out of it!

The Cheetah Bikini is a limited edition pair. Meaning it won’t be around for long! Which is a shame to me. I would love to see more bolder pairs of swimwear on the market. It’s time we start embracing the swim brief in all its forms. Andrew Christian is just the brand to do this. They have never been afraid make interesting pairs of underwear and swimwear.

“Whether you’re on the prowl or looking to show-off, you’ll be getting all the attention with our sexy Andrew Christian Cheetah Bikini. Featuring our limited edition Cheetah print, sleek black lines on each side, the entire piece feels and looks like a second skin.” The fabric of this pair is 90% Polyamide 10% Spandex.

I will say it will take a bold person to wear this pair on the beach/pool. Swim briefs are starting to grow in popularity again, but sporting this pair maybe a bit much for some guys. I personally think this pair is amazing. Its has a super sexy bikini cut and amazing fabric.

Where would you wear this pair? I could see this at a pool party. You would def draw attention to yourself. Like I said above this pair is for the guy who wants to show it all off! Would I wear this pair? I think I would wear it. There is a pool here in Atlanta that is friendly to all kinds of swimwear.

The Cheetah Bikini is available at the Andrew Christian website. Sizes are XS- XL. This swimsuit retails for $43.

As avid underwear consumers. One of the main things we look for when making a purchase are looks.  Especially when you know that one undie in particular is going to be seen by someone. No, I am not talking about the bedroom but the locker room. Yes the one place you avoided as a kid but ended up loving as an adult (at least in my case).  Due to the fact that at some point in he locker room you are going to have to strip down to your skivvies and reveal it all. I don’t know about you but I always like to be prepared when that moment comes. My favorite gym wear is almost always Andrew Christian.

9948 _6_

Yes Andrew Christian. The brand we all know and love to wear, has gone back to the basics while bringing us something fresh and new with their upcoming Vibe collection. Andrew Christian is usually my go to brand when I workout.  Due to their anatomically correct pouches with their “Show It Technology” and “Almost Naked” styles. That let my goods have that support and freedom.  while also showing them off a bit in the gym. While all those factors are a plus, it’s what happens afterwards that makes me think twice.

Before I hit the showers at the gym. I cringe at the fact that I have put my Andrew Christian undies through such a vigorous gym session. The stretching and sweating I endure during a workout takes it’s toll on my undies. After a while and we all know good underwear doesn’t come cheap enough for us to simply toss out and buy more. But have no fear my fellow fitness and underwear enthusiasts.  The new Vibe collection from Andrew Christian has promised to change all that.

DSC_5442_00_01_20_11_Still115

Their new Vibe ad campaign looks as though they have toned it down a notch in terms of colors and over the top styles.  They make up for it with their underwear that is promising to be the go to pair when it comes to controlling sweat and unwanted stretching. Adult film actors Ryan Rose and Arad Winwin and model Jon Pastor offer plenty of eye candy in the 2 minute ad that already has me somewhat sold (don’t judge.) The video showcases Ryan, Arad and Jon pumping iron, several sets of squats and most of all doing lots and lots of sweating. Which is something we all do at the gym. Some of us more than others, which is why I know these new lines of undies are going to be the answer to all our prayers.

Aiming for a release this February, I’ll be sure to try to get my hands on a pair and put them to the test once available. Currently the Vibe collection has only two pairs in a brief and boxer. Vibe brief starts at $22.50. Vibe boxer starts at $25.00. Can be viewed online at andrewchristian.com

Most of us who read this blog on a regular basis we want something different and fun. We are always on the look out for something sexy, wears well and is a different design. The New Air Jock from Andrew Christian fits that criteria. It has a really cool pouch design.

The pouch is made out of two pieces. The regular body of the underwear and the pouch that has cut outs in each side. I will say it’s a cool design but wondering the practical implications of the pair. I’m sure if you’re a little larger in the pouch you may show more skin than those who aren’t.

Overall it’s a new take on the jock brief. Since the late 2000’s, Jock Briefs have been gaining popularity. Its now pretty much a staple in the world of men’s underwear. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Many guys prefer the jock brief over the traditional jock due to the fit. There are no straps to deal with through out the day!

The Air Jock is available in Royal and Black. Each pair has a bright contrasting trim on the pouch and legs. Match that with a similar waistband. It’s a really fun pair to wear to work or out on the town. Both pairs retail for $22.50 on the Andrew Christian site.
