Year of the Jock, 2011?

No Comments

I am back from Magic/Curve and I must admit it’s a great time but it wears you out. I know you are saying “you go talk to underwear makers/designers and see underwear models, what’s so hard about that?” Well, the amount of walking in Las Vegas is mind blowing. I am always worn out after the shows.

One thing I really noticed was jocks. I have seen them around but they seem to be a lot more prevalent this year. Most of the collections I saw had at least one jock if not more. There seems to be a rebirth going on for the jock.

Collections where I saw jocks are:

These are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Jocks are no longer the Bike #10 traditional jock. They are made out of mesh, spandex and sometimes lace. Jocks also have lace up pouches (like shoes), more then one strap and cross between briefs and jocks. If you had asked me a few years ago if you could improve on the jock, I would never have guessed all the innovations designers have come up with.

Then you have companies that have built businesses on jockstraps. The two that come to mind are Jockstrap Central and McKillop U/W. Jockstrap Central is your main store for anything jock related. You name it they will probably have it in jocks. Last year they scored the extremely hard to get Bike #10. They wouldn’t tell me how they did it but I know it wasn’t easy! Second, McKillop U/W has done some amazing work in designing new and great fitting jocks. They have color, an amazing pouch and even new materials. They are doing some great work and if you love jocks I say you try them.

This week alone we saw the release of two new jocks. The first was from Bone Wear and the second was from Pipe. It seems each week we see more and more jocks. That is the reason I pushed this post back to Friday. I was going to post it on Wed but the release of two jocks in one week kind of made my point.

Kinkwear Jock from Jockstrap CentralMcKillop U/W

Am I alone in thinking this? Have you guys seen more jocks? What innovations have you seen that you loved? Leave a comment here or on Facebook and let us know!

We love it here when there are new takes on classics in the world of underwear. It now makes me think of new ways to do the tighty whities! Hey if it can happen to jocks why not tighty whities?

The pic at the top is the new Pipe Jock, which I forgot to include on yesterday’s post for Pipe.

Review: Candyman Air Force Marshal

1 Comment

Ties make everything better, it’s a fact. Guess what? This pair of underwear comes with a tie. I feel like I could end this review right here simply because of that awesomeness. However, as awesome as that may be, there is more to this underwear to just a tie and you’ll see that below.

The underwear (and tie presumably) are made of 93% Polyester and 7% Spandex which is rather comfortable and the shiny look makes for an interesting feel – a feeling that you’ve always got to adjust yourself. That feeling aside, it has a great look and that black shine gives it a very sexy look. The added gold rank indicators increase the sexiness factor tenfold. Another thing about Candyman boxerbriefs is that they are somewhat large. They are about twice as long as a Gigo boxerbriefs and they aren’t tight fitting if you have a standard waist size. This may be good to some and bad to others. It’s really up to you on how to take it.

Candyman has an interesting feel. It is “Costume Underwear” so you might not want to wear it during the workday or during an intense workout. However, if you’re just relaxing, preparing for Halloween, or a random costume party, then this is the perfect underwear for you.

UNB Holiday Guide 2010

No Comments

Welcome to the 2010 UNB Holiday Guide! These guides are a lot of fun to do, but a lot of work! We start in August contacting all the companies involved, and then have it sent to the photographer, having everything shot then put up on the site. The pairs included are some of what we think will be great gifts for the man in your life or some just for you!

This guide was shot by the awesome folks at NorCalBodz. If you are familiar with our guides you have seen their work on our site. They have done our previous guides and we have profiled them in many Brief Distractions. The models we used in this guide are: Jordan Preston, Rob Patrick, Erik Rossi, Corey Christiansen and Matt McCaleb. We want to thank them and NorCalBodz for doing an awesome job for us.

Now with out any further waiting here is the guide for 2010!

Frank Dandy

Frank Dandy Underwear

Frank Dandy is a brand that was created to combat the world of boring solid colored underwear. They are known for their innovative patterns and designs. This brand is not for the reserved guy. If you want to express yourself in your undies as well, then you need to be checking out Frank Dandy!

Mundo Unico is a line that mixes both classic styling with sexy design. The brand has focused on making some of the best designed underwear on the market today. It its a man very well and gives great support through the day. Then they add in colors, prints and patterns to let a man be comfortable yet stylish in at the same time. It’s a brand where form meets function!

  • Right is wearing the Boxer Corto Vivaz 7174

These pairs were furnished by Mundo Unico

Pipe Underwear


Pipe Underwear hit the underwear scene a few years ago. They make a splash with their innovative photography and designs. But, they didn’t sit back and relax. They have come out with a new line that from the first look is very conservative, but has some great styling. They are using blacks and whites but they aren’t the boring undies of the 90’s. The use of piping and silvers turns the lines into something fun. Pipe Underwear is definitely a brand you should be following!

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Silver Racing Square Cut Brief
  • Erik is wearing the Black Racing Square Cut

These pairs were furnished by Pipe Underwear

WildmanT


WildmanT was one of the first to produce enhancing underwear. Two years ago they created the Ball Lifter (R) technology and since then they have come out with a range of underwear to really show off what you have.  As their website says “All our products create the fullest package possible while maintaining style and comfort.” If you haven’t been to their site you should go. The owner and creator WildmanT aka Tim, is the model as well!

  • Rob is wearing the Arrow with Ball Lifter (R) C-Ring

Timoteo


Timoteo is a brand that is really taking off. Known for their incredible photography and great fitting undies, they have taken the underwear world by storm the last two years. It’s very interesting how the line started. Timoteo was head designer at the Baby Phat line created by Russell and Kimora Simmons. He left there and in 2001 created his own store in West Hollywood. He concentrated on men’s clothing but in 2006 he introduced swimwear and the rest is history! The TIMOTEO line recognizes great fashion but also understands that style, fit, and comfort are the key to its success.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Classic Red Briefs along with the Angel Wings Necklace
  • Rob is wearing the Wave Racer Swimsuit

These pairs were furnished by Timoteo.

McKillop U/W


McKillop U/W is one of the new kids on the block. They were furnished last year and their main focus is jocks. We have many readers who love jocks and wear them exclusively. The head designer and owner Ryan wanted to create a line  of “Jockstraps and Pouches for the men who demand comfort and style without padding and branding being the main focus of the underwear.” McKillop uses colors and mesh to really give a new look to the traditional jock! If you are a fan of jocks you need to give McKillop a once over!

Left to Right:

  • Matt is wearing the Power Flip and Reveal Pouch
  • Corey is wearing the  Power Extension Jock in Blue
  • Corey is wearing the Power Extension Jock in Black

These pairs were furnished by McKillop U/W

Cocksox


Cocksox is the self-proclaimed sexiest underwear on the planet! It is an enhancing brand that uses a specially designed pouch to show off exactly what you have. Cocksox is out of Australia and has grown to be one of the biggest brands there. They have expanded and are making in roads into the US Market. The underwear is made out of supplex and is thicker then pure cotton undies. The underwear will conform to your body and is ergonomically designed. It will be comfortable through out the day and move with you.

  • Left is wearing the CX01 Swimbrief in Man Candy Pink
  • Corey is wearing the CX028 Swimbrief with drawstring.

N Haven


N Haven is a line from UnderGear. Undergear has several private lines that are being redesigned from the ground up. I got to meet with them back in August and I’m really excited to see what they do. We are featuring the Fall Boxers here. They are all a fall/winter theme that is perfect for lounging around on a winter night. We are featuring two pairs here but you can see more at the UnderGear site.

Left to Right:

  • Corey is wearing the AJ789 Snow Flakes Boxer
  • Jordan is wearing the AJ789 Snow Flakes Boxer

These pairs were furnished by UnderGear.

Pikante


Are you ready to get WILD? Pikante‘s new line that came out is all about animal print. I know what you are thinking but these aren’t the 70’s tacky animal prints, they are fun and sexy. They range from the traditional (Tiger, leopard and more) to newer and innovative prints (Owl Feather,  snake and blue tiger). It’s a really fun and sexy line. Glad to see someone doing animal prints right!

Left to Right:

  • Erik is wearing the Cheetah Cheeky Boxer – Black
  • Rob is wearing the Python New Brief
  • Erik is wearing the Anaconda Boxer
  • Jordan is wearing the Feather Owl New Brief

These pairs were furnished by Pikante

Candyman


Candyman is just pure fun. They have the costume underwear featuring cowboy, prisoner, devil and more! But, you may not know they have a line of underwear. The line is one that is not for the shy. They are bold, colorful and shiny! If you want to show off what you have then the pairs with cut outs, thongs and metallic materials will be perfect for you.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Blue Brief
  • Rob is earing the Hot Pink Detachable Thong
  • Rob is wearing the Silver Brief
  • Corey is wearing the Black and White Stripes Brief

These pairs were furnished by Candyman

PPU


PPU is another of those fun brands. Yes, they have some traditional briefs and boxer briefs. Then, they have some really interesting approaches to taking a classic like a jock and turning it into their own. They don’t follow the regular rules of underwear. They see something and put their twist on it. That includes jocks, bikinis and thongs. Its great to see a company that is doing their own thing.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the 967 Boxer Briefs
  • Middle is wearing the 965 Jock
  • Cory is wearing the 967 one piece

These pairs were furnished by PPU

Clever


Do you want something masculine but fun? Then Clever is the underwear for you. Their slogan is “Masculine Underwear.” They want to make underwear for men not afraid to show their masculinity. They take masculine feelings and turn them into prints, patterns and designs. They are fun without being over the top. Men who are confident and driven are the kind of guy that Clever is after!

Left to Right:

  • Jordan is wearing the Reticulated Classic Brief White 5076
  • Erik is wearing the Cozumel Swimsuit Brief Black 0528
  • Rob is wearing the Vintage Boxer 2070

These pairs were furnished by Cleaver.

Baskit


Baskit is not just a regular underwear company. They are a company that focuses on quality, design and style. You can tell that in the last few collections they have released. The lines would include: Utility, Snugfitseamless and Finelines. So, they are for the true underwear lover. If you buy your underwear in packs of 5, then Baskit isn’t for you. I love that Baskit is not afraid of color. They use bright and fun colors in the underwear. If you like these check out all the lines they offer

Left to Right:

  • Top left is wearing the Unility Brief in Pink
  • Top Right is wearing the Contrast Jock Brief in Blue
  • Bottom left is wearing the Action Cool Mesh Brief in Orange
  • Bottom right is wearing  the Sawed off Mesh Brief in Red

These pairs were furnished by Baskit.

Bum Chums, Doreanse & ManStore


Dead Good Undies is the only online store to send us underwear. They are out of the UK and offer some of the most innovative and cutting edge underwear around. They sent us three really fun brands; Bum Chums, Doreanse and Manstore. Bum Chums are a “cheeky” brand out of the UK. They are bright fun and have a lot of metallic! While Doreanse you have seen in The Reasons video we posted this past week. Lastly is Manstore, which is a brand that just is all about sexy. They have smaller cuts, mesh and leather like materials. All three are for a guy who is confident and wants to have some serious fun with his underwear. We hope you enjoy these and will check out more.

Pistol Pete


Pistol Pete is one if the first companies to do 3-D underwear! They are a brand that’s not afraid to think outside the box when designing underwear. That includes this season collection. Some of the current lines are inspired by cities and places. They aren’t just underwear they also have a very large swimwear and shirt line. The underwear from Pistol Pete you can definitely tie into your over all style. They aren’t plain and simple. They are made to compliment and add to your wardrobe.

DMK Designs


DMK Designs is a brand we have covered since the start of the blog. It was founded by Diane who is a former Vegas show girl who went back to school to get her MBA and started a men’s underwear line. Diane wanted to create a line because she was tired of men seeing bad underwear. She has come out with some really fun lines. Those included the animal print made out of unexpected colors. Which were some of the most innovative I have seen. She is now working in mesh and has created a pouch that doesn’t have a seam down the middle. I know we will see some really fun and creative designs from her soon!

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Down Under Enhancing Jock in Coral
  • Right is wearing the X-Lo Swimmer in Peacock Blue

These Pairs were furnished by DMK Designs

Gregg Homme


Our last brand is one that is bringing sexy back to the world of men’s underwear. That line is Gregg Homme. They are one of the most innovative with mesh. The current lines are one that really shows off everything.  From their site: “Design is a dialogue of ideas: it appeals, speaks or creates controversy and GREGG HOMME constantly innovates with unimaginable designs and functionalities to feed the insatiable taste of men for provocation and seduction.” This includes using the latest in technology. The example of this is the Bandito line. The shirts and underwear have cutouts with mesh. The fabrics are fused together rather then sown. They are a brand positioned between lust and fantasy.

Left to Right

  • Left is wearing the Predator Trunk
  • Center is wearing the X Rated Maximizer Jock
  • Right is wearing the Bandito Brief

These Pairs were furnished by Gregg Homme.

We hope you enjoy this guide. We will have another one just in time for Valentines Day! We will give you some great ideas for the perfect pair to wear or give your Valentine. I want to thank all the companies that participated and NorCalBodz and the models!

Review: Candyman 9525 Black Brief

No Comments

I have written an article in the past for Candyman.  It was the seaman brief with the chain and anchor pattern.  I loved the fit of that selection.  This brief, known only as the 9525 brief, failed to deliver that same great fit.

The overall look of the brief is great.  I can definitely see the sex appeal it would create.  Actually, just before writing this article, a very handsome gentleman I’m acquainted with put them on for a little modeling session.  I have to say with his skin tone, his lovely Italian body hair, and his great build, this pair of underwear looked fantastic and would easily take the breath away from any onlooker.  The pouch, generously filled….the rear, greatly accentuated.

But, I digress.  When I wore the brief, its construction seemed a bit far fetched.  The back wasn’t as uncomfortable as the front.  There is a stretchable seam that runs from the top of the pouch under and up to the waistband in the back.  The seam sits neatly in the crack, but it irritates the manly parts in the pouch.  It basically tells your rod, “Hey, pick a side!”  For those men who are more endowed, the seam will serve as a nice attribute as it allows the pouch to expand outward.  I felt it to be unnecessary for me and a cause for irritation.  As with a previously reviewed pair of underwear, these briefs had to be taken off before I arrived back home.

The brief is made of 90% nylon and 10% Spandex, making a nice stretchy and smooth combination.  The waistband is 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) and doesn’t cut in at all.  That’s always good!  Not taking the seam into consideration, the brief feels awesome.  It is definitely a brief I would love to feel against me all day.

REVIEW: Candyman Fashions – 9526 Black/Red Boxer

No Comments


Candyman Fashions is one of the brands I have enjoyed working with the most during my span at Underwear News Briefs.  Their unique take on styles, colors, and ability to push the boundaries of men’s underwear is amazing.  They are probably one of the few companies that can make a pair of underwear look like plastic or leather and make them feel and wear like you have on your traditional cotton/spandex mix trunks.

I received the ”9526 Black/Red Boxer” in a size medium.  Candyman Fashions often gets their ideas from role playing costumes and is probably better known for this unique take on underwear.  Don’t get me wrong!  I love a unique pair of undies.  Sometimes, however, I crave something a little more subtle.  Candyman has a great line of underwear that is just plain FUN to see and wear and you don’t have to get tied up in the whole costume look.  The Black and Red boxer is one of those styles that’s not a costume…just simply a fun pair of undies.  They feature a solid black front and back panel with a solid red 1.5” strip down both sides.  Both the red and black have silver metallic specks woven into them to give these undies a unique shine and almost plastic or leathery look.  This pair of Candyman also features a solid black elastic waistband with a contrasting white Candyman logo on the front.

These and many of the other styles from Candyman are great for daily wear, but these undies really shine when you wear them out on the town.  The fit is great for all day wear, but the patterns, colors, fabric, and sex appeal are meant to be noticed.  They are also able to add extra spice in the bedroom.  I wouldn’t recommend wearing these to the gym or out for a run.  I am not saying that you couldn’t, but I believe there are better undies for that.  It would be best to let these eye catching undies be seen in the wild and not full of sweat while doing a squat workout.

Overall, I really enjoyed these undies. They add an element of fun and a little “something different” to my ever expanding underwear collection.

You can purchase any of the Candyman Fashions collection from a variety of online men’s underwear stores.   The reviewed boxers retail for around $35 online.  Check out my company write-up on Candyman to learn more about this fun and exciting underwear company.

Candyman Fashions provided me with these boxers to review.

Review: Candyman Fashion Sailor Boxer (9509)

No Comments

I was recently asked to review some Candyman Fashions from their 2009 collection.  One pair I picked to review was the Sailor Boxer.  They are very comfortable and hold everything where it belongs.  I love support and was very pleased with what they provide.  I am not a big boxer brief fan as I prefer less coverage but these were awesome.  The legs were comfortable and did not bind or ride up.  I totally forgot I was wearing boxers.  They are festive and fun.

My family has a history with the U.S. Navy and I grew up around water so I have an affinity to anything nautical.  I love the sea air, the sounds of the ocean, the smell of the salty breeze and the joy of swimming in the bay.  These undies bring that all back to me.

These undies are fun and eye catching with a gold chain at the front of the waist and a little gold anchor decal on the leg.  They are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.

Review: Candyman Fashion Thong (9512)

No Comments

The final pair of Candyman Fashion underwear I chose to review was the thong (9512) in red.  This is a fun pair with decorative rings at the waist and three rings in the back, forming a “Y” type of strap.  I was a little concerned about the rings in the back but there was no need for concern at all.  I am not used to thongs but I totally enjoyed these.  They were so comfortable I almost forgot I was wearing a thong.  The material was soft and held everything in place and the strap in the back wasn’t cutting or anything.

I so enjoy the variety of undies out there and the chance to change it up every now and again.  It is fun to try different styles and brands and learn new things and find different fits that I never knew existed.  I am learning that underwear should fit you lifestyle, provide you comfort and give you an all around good feeling.  If all thongs are like this pair, send them my way please!

These undies are sexy, comfortable, and extremely fun.  They are made of 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex.

Review: Candyman Fashion Briefs (9515)

2 Comments

Another fun pair of Candyman Fashion underwear I chose to review was a brief.  These have a very supportive black pouch with the rest in a black and white zebra strip pattern.  Everything about this brief was comfortable.  There was no binding and a lot of support.  It was fun wearing them as they are sexy and nobody knew I had them on until later that night when my wife saw me undressing for bed and showed her appreciation.

Some day I hope to take a trip to the African safari and see zebras, elephants, giraffes and lions.  These undies remind me of the things that are wild and free.  Maybe when I go on my safari, I’ll take this awesome pair of undies and show a little bit of my wild side – one never knows. 😉

These undies are made of 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.  They are stretchy and supportive and oh so comfortable.

Review: Candyman Elephants Tusk

No Comments

If I say, “costume underwear”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?  A giant pair of briefs for a Halloween outfit or is it a whole brand of underwear that is unrivaled in its creativity?  If you picked the second one, then there’s a good chance you have heard of Candyman Fashion.  They don’t make your standard underwear.  They make your outrageous underwear.  If you love to be the center of the attention at a party when your pants come down, then I recommend you read on to learn about quite possibly the most exciting underwear known.

What makes up the perfect party underwear you ask?  It’s simple: 92% Polyester, 8% Spandex, some screen-printing, and some foam ears.  Put all of that together and you’ve got yourself the Elephants Tusk underwear.  You may think that foam ears may be uncomfortable or create an awkward bulge in your pants, but they are neither.  I actually found the ears to be arm support when you’re reading or working on your laptop.  Some serious creative points go to Candyman for that.  You probably have one other question.  If it’s elephant themed, where’s the trunk?  Let me answer it this way…there is a hole in the front.  Use your imagination!

When these arrived, I saved them for Friday and decided they would be my casual Friday pair.  For the most part, they were pretty comfortable.  A little loose, especially at the legs, but other than that, there was a fair amount of support.  I do see the screen-printing coming off after a few washes unless you are extremely careful washing them.  The support stitching that connects the ears to the rest of the pair seems skimpy and something to keep an eye on for sure.

Though there are the good and bad points, the goods do make this pair well worth the cost for the smile it will bring to everyone seeing them.  If you enjoy flaunting your underwear, then you NEED these.  If not, these will certainly get you to that point.  Candyman has other pairs that have a little less 3D to them, so be sure to check back at UNB the rest of the week to see the reviews on other underwear styles they have to offer!

Review: Candyman Knockout Nurse

2 Comments

I’m sure at one point in your life, you’ve wanted to be a doctor, nurse, or wear a white coat with the purpose of helping people.  If that career path didn’t work out, there is always hope of being another kind of nurse: a Knockout Nurse, thanks to Candyman Fashion.  Simple, eye-catching, and useful; these three words define the Knockout Nurse underwear to a tee.  From the rhinestones to the pouch and the red and white theme, you can’t go wrong with this pair.

92% Polyester and 8% Spandex and some rhinestones are exactly what the doctor ordered.  When mixed together, you have the perfect cure for boring underwear. They are equipped with a pouch…a very large pouch actually, and to be honest, I wasn’t accustomed to pouches.  You never know how handy pouches are until you don’t have them.  Another feature of this pair is the rhinestone RX on the side, not to mention the White Cross on the opposite side.  This pair has no problem getting attention.

When I tried them on, I noticed that they are pretty snug and there isn’t any riding up.  They are a pretty comfortable pair of underwear.  To my surprise, there wasn’t an issue with the rhinestones, which I actually figured would be a problem.   I was presently surprised when it wasn’t.  This pair survived a full day of class, lying around, and the gym.  They held up like a champ.  I would definitely recommend this Candyman selection.

Review: Candyman 9514 Boxer

No Comments

Everyone and everything has a modest side and Candyman Fashion is no exception. The 9515 Boxer is one of their more modest pairs and even someone as exciting as me needs a break now and then to enjoy some simple, but enjoyable, boxer briefs. Though I did say simple, they are quite shiny and in the right light, they are a little see-through.  When you have them on, you don’t have to worry about anything being seen.

This pair is made of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex, all of which is again, very shiny, almost a little too shiny for my likings.  Since I wear pants over them, it’s not that big of a deal.  There is a simple design on the front of red horizontal stripes on the legs that connect to a black pouch, all with a bit of glitter to them.  Surround that with a silver background and you have yourself a modest pair of underwear.

When it comes to actually wearing the pair, the 9514 is a little loose and it has an interesting feel.  I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s a tight feel, even though the pair is somewhat loose.  Don’t let that deter you, however, from giving the 9514 a try.  They are still a great pair of underwear.  If you would like a good fitting, comfortably simple, and modest pair, I would certainly recommend that you go and buy the 9514 Boxer!
