tumblr_static_commander-in-briefsFreshPair.com has started a great new Tumblr blog! It’s called “Commander in Briefs”, this is a follow up to the really incredible Confidence Project. Unlike the Confidence Project this is an ask the expert blog. They have their Commander in Briefs answering your underwear related questions. The blog just launched so it doesn’t have a lot of questions but they will be adding new answers often. Between when I first read it this afternoon and now they have updated a new answer.

Over the past year FreshPair.com has seriously impressed me with their marketing and outreach to underwear lovers. They are doing what we are in the process of doing here at UNB. That is making it personal and getting to know more of the people in undies world. It’s my philosophy that undies are one of the most personal things we wear and when we choose to share our undies or info about them we want it to be in an accepting place. There has always been a stigma in the media about men’s underwear. This is a change that is happening as more guys, gay and straight, are wearing great undies. We don’t see this trend ending anytime soon.

FreshPair.com is making it easy to ask questions about undies. Its the old adage that there are no stupid questions. How many times have you had a question and either were afraid to ask it or didn’t know who to ask it too. Now you can relax and know you can ask anything you need to know about undies. I believe this blog is going to be focused on men’s underwear.

Some of the posts on the site are:

  • How to avoid pit stains on tshirts
  • Sizing in undies
  • A photo tip for how they make pics look good, and you will “wonder”
  • Popular Men’s Undies in the different areas of NYC

It’s great to see an underwear company take an active interest in the underwear consumer. Add this Tumblr to your list of followed blogs or check it daily! If you have any questions let us know and we will pass them along and get them answered. The address is http://commander-in-briefs.tumblr.com/.

The mission here at UNB is to show that everyone should love and feel great in their underwear. No matter what sexual orientation, size, ethnicity or anything. Underwear should be fun and make you feel good. I know that kind of sounds silly to some but those of us who love underwear, and read this blog, just get that and really understand it.

A while back I was approached by FreshPair to write about how when I was laid off underwear was one thing I didn’t cut back on and it was one of the luxuries I allowed myself. I’m hoping they run it if not, it looks like they have taken the concept in a really cool new direction.

The Confidence Project is  “Bare-all stories from people everywhere about life below the surface. Because, there’s nothing ordinary about underwear. “ They have up posts from both men and women and their stories about underwear. It’s one of the most creative ideas I have seen to bring underwear into the mainstream. I def will interview them about this soon. But I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Go check it out! You can also submit your own story. It’s just cool to see people not afraid to share their stories about underwear. You can find it at http://confidenceproject.freshpair.com/.

Note We didn’t post anything from the blog because you need to go visit the site and read the stories

We love it when companies redo their websites and make them better. This is what Freshpair.com is doing. They just launched phase one of their website redesign. The main page has been totally redone (as you can see above.) Once you get to the main page you can choose men’s or women’s. Once you choose men’s you can get four categories, Designer, Bold, classic and Thrill. The categories are pretty self explanatory. Designer is all the great designer underwear companies you love. Bold are bold and vibrant colors, Classic are the classic styles that are perfect for the gym and thrill are those that are extreme and fun!

The site now boasts and Experts section. Where you can get advice on underwear, fashion and more. This includes and underwear guide, travel tips, performance underwear and more!

This is only phase one and over the next few months we will see more functionality. We look forward to seeing what they have in store for us! Go check it out today!

Don’t get me wrong, I love to review undies, but when I had the chance to review this undershirt, I did not want to miss out. I have had my eye on this shirt for the last year or so and had heard great things about it. A shirt that is comfortable, can help improve your health and will help you look better, I am IN!!

The Equmen Core Precision Undershirt is not just your typical body shaping undershirt. This undershirt has been proven to not only make you look great, but improve posture, reduce back pain, control body temperature and enhance over all blood flow. Now, I had my doubts, but working in a pretty physically demanding job all of these attributes sounded too good to be true.

I reviewed the Equimen Crew Neck Core Precision Undershirt in a size medium. When my shirt arrived the first thing that I noticed was the built in Physiotherapy. This is Equmen’s built in seamless support system that helps support the areas of your body to improve posture and reduce back pain. I also noticed the streamline look of the undershirt. The fabric was also something that stood out. The polyester nylon spandex mix was stretchy but durable.

When I put this shirt on, the first thing that I noticed was how hard it was to get positioned correctly on the body. This is not a “slip it on quick” type shirt. I think it took me a good couple of minutes to get the shirt on and positioned correctly. However, once I got the shirt on, I could tell that it was going to be something worth wearing. I wore this shirt for the first time to work. It did help with the added support and controlling my body temperature and I did see a slight improvement in my back pain at the end of the day. This shirt kept me cool and lived up to everything that it claimed it would. Taking off the shirt was almost as much of a task as putting it on as well. I have since worn this shirt under dress shirts to help me look a little trimmer, and to the gym. This is a great all around shirt and if they were not so pricy, I would have a drawer full of them. The $99 price tag is the biggest drawback.

I would recommend this undershirt for those people that have posture and back problems or work in a very physically demanding job. If you are just looking for a good undershirt this is a good, but pricy option. This style come in a singlet, v-neck or crew neck cuts and come in white, black, and Slate (grey).

PROS:

  • Great Support
  • Very Comfortable
  • Great for wicking moisture and controlling body temperature

CONS:

  • Price ($99 for the style I reviewed)
  • Hard to put on and take off

 

FIT: 4

MATERIALS: 5

CONSTRUCTION: 5

LOOK: 5

DAILY WEAR: 5

OVERALL: 4.8

This shirt was provided by Freshpair.com and can be purchased for $99.

We got two sales from Freshpair.com! The first one is a Memorial Day sale, the second is a sample sale that you have to be in NYC for!

“We’re running a Memorial Day Clearance Sale (or Summer Clearance, for International customers). All Andrew Christian, Frank Dandy, and MANSTORE items are on clearance. We also have a lot of C-IN2, Diesel, 2(x)ist and Hugo Boss items on clearance.

Also, we are having a Sample Sale from May 30-June 1st and will have around 6,000 items at deep discount prices.”

Firs thing I have to do before we get into the guide is thank the awesome sponsors above! Pistol Pete – Gold Sponsor, Clever/Vuthy & Croota – Silver Sponsors and Good Boy Gone Bad and UnderGear as Bronze sponsors! Without them this guide would not have taken place. Next, I have to thank our photographer Brian from Seven Continents Photography and our Models Cody, Christian and Juan. Our sponsors allowed us for the first time to hire models and do a shoot all ourselves. It is a big learning process and things had bumps (models falling out the week before), but we carried on and pushed forward. We think we did a great job for our first attempt and we will learn more each time!

We had over 60 suits and a full day by the lake and then a re-shoot by a pool this past weekend. It has been a blast and I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you get some great swimsuits this year! Our Models are Cody, Juan and Christian. Please check out our Videos on YouTube Enjoy the Guide! BTW, don’t forget to check individual size charts!

We hope you enjoy this guide for swimwear for summer! Watch over the next few days for exclusive Brief Distractions from some of our Sponsors. Remember please check each company’s sizing charts, because they differ from company to company.

Our friends over at FreshPair.com sent up some exclusive Q&A with Cover Male. They are one of the newest brands on the market. The thing you notice most is they are fun and bright!

Cover Male, which just launched in January, has already had a great response from consumers. What do you think sets Cover Male apart from other sexy men’s underwear brands?
As Cover Male’s Designer, one of the main things that I try to concentrate on is always having that touch of elegance and sophistication in every single piece designed, not only to create timeless and classic undergarments for the modern male, but to create/boost the self-confidence and self-satisfaction that every man deserves. I believe that Cover Male works well on portraying these elements with its bold colors and modern cuts; making Cover Male the new “it” and “must-have” brand of the year.

What advice would you give to the man who’s not familiar with fashion underwear?
The advice I’d give to all men in general is to be more aware of what they are rocking down under. Men’s jeans are not as they used to be anymore. Low-rise jeans are now made to sit on the hips leaving the waistband of their underwear exposed. Their underwear is more visible than they think, a slight bend over or a lift an arm can show the world what they’re wearing down under. So make sure to have a pair of underwear that looks good when you accidently show off that side of you; just have one of Cover Male’s waistbands for that brief flash tease, it should do the trick.

Is there a style you’d recommend to the man who’s considering buying his first pair of Cover Male?
Yes, I would recommend our basic cuts: Waisted-Up Bikini and Waisted-Up Trunk. The comfort of these styles is amazing! They provide a great fit, impeccable flexibility and most importantly, a great workout companion under your shorts

Stay tuned for Cover Male Cotton Collection and Sports Collection coming soon to Freshpair. Find more of this interview at the Freshpair blog,  http://www.freshpair.com/blog/exclusive-cover-male-interview/

The Equmen Crew Neck shirt is the pair I was lucky to review. If you are a long time reader of the blog you will know I have tried a few different Equmen prodcuts. They are usually very well made and fit great!

If you are not familiar with Equmen they are made to strengthen your core and help wilt your posture. Which the shirt does nicely, it makes you pay attention to your posture. I noticed a few times how tall I was standing. Equemen are sort of shapewear but not exactly. I know that sounds crazy but it’s a mix.

The shirt I received was white and really fit in under my dress shirt. I don’t think many  knew I was wearing a t-shirt that wasn’t a regular shirt. I wore this to work just to see how it would do in daily wear. It was really great. It didn’t ride up, bind or really be noticeable.

With that said, I am not one to wear undershirts on a regular basis. If you are like me if you wear another layer of clothes you get much hotter during the day. Here in Atlanta, that week it was a little warmer and it was a little annoying. The other thing that is a pain is getting it on after a shower. It’s like you are wrestling to get it on. I think if you turn it inside out and put it on you will be fine, but after a shower it doesn’t want to move.

Pros:

  • Great Fit
  • Increased Posture
  • Strengthens your core

Cons:

  • Made me hot
  • Wrestled to get on

  NASTY PIG DOUBLECROSS SWEAT SHORTS FEATURING PATRICK

What’s hotter than a pair of Nasty Pig Doublecross Sweat Shorts? Jockstrap Central’s latest model Patrick in said shorts. Woof!

These basketball-cut shorts are loose and baggy and with their aged brushed cotton fleece, they not only look great but feel fantastic on – so fantastic you’ll probably end up wearing them commando. Of course our favorite part is the built-in elastic waistband with Nasty Pig poking up above the shorts – everyone will assume you’re wearing your favorite Nasty Pig Jock while your boys are swaying free and easy (brushing up against that silky fleece.)

Here’s the details: Drop crotch. Built-in exposed elastic and a draw-string at the waist for flexible fit. Branded elastic built into waistband. Pockets and leg openings finished with raw-edged tone-on-tone fleece accents. Tone-on-tone NP embroidery on left pocket. Nasty Pig Incorporated wordmark in the back interior waistband. Custom eyelets and metal branded drawstring tips.

As for Patrick: He’s a chef by day and a model by night. Jockstrap Central first saw Patrick at a local charity fund raising event when their jaws dropped. This solid mass of muscle and fur was riding a stationary bike in nothing but a jockstrap getting it hot and sweaty to auction off to raise money for the charity. Jockstrap Central, being the sponsor of the event, couldn’t very well bid on the jockstrap so they did the next best thing – they approached him to be their next Nasty Pig model.”
