Candyman Fashion furnished us with some great pairs of the JOR Workout collection to review.
JOR – Logo Black T-shirt
I received a black long-sleeve style shirt from JOR, my first impression of it was comfy and light. This was the first thing I have ever tried or worn from this company. This particle shirt does have a white version as well; its cut is the same.
I wore it around the condo and around town, it was quite comfy. It was a regular, non-active day, and with how well it felt by the end of the day I have no doubt that this shirt could take a beating and be fine.
I received a size large from them which fit me like a glove.
In terms of likes and dislikes for this shirt, I loved the fit and fabric for this shirt. I wasn’t a huge fan of how the neck opening was, but after a while I got used to it.

JOR- Runner Black Long Pants
I received a pair of black runner tights from JOR, my initial impression of these was they felt very nice.
I wore it around the condo and went to the gym to workout. It was a regular workout so I put the pants through their paces, and at the end of the workout,
I received a size large from them which fit me very well and was extremely comfortable.
In terms of likes and dislikes for this pair of pants, I loved everything about them, from material, cut, styling, sizing/fit. There wasn’t anything about them I disliked.

Did you make a resolution to work out more in 2016? Or do you want something a little more fun to wear to the gym? If you answered yes to either of those questions this post is for you. Runners have really come on strong in the fitness world. They are being worn at the gym, running or cross fit. They can be worn for extra support or maybe comfort. We have selected a few of the newest pairs for you guys!
You may know Aronik as the swimwear company. This year they have branched out and created a line of runners. The line is called Command. It is available in three colors: Coal (pictured above), Vino and Blu. Each one has the Aronik name on the right thigh. Each pair retails for $90. Find the Aronik Command Line at the Aronik Site.
If you don’t want to wear the runners with nothing over them. You should try the Junk UnderJeans Raw Street Runners. They can be worn solo or with something over them. The front has a breathable mesh panel as well! The Raw Street Runner is available in Aqua, Green (pictured) and pink. Don’t let the pink fool you black with pink accents. Made out of 95% Polyester/5% Spandex blend. The Raw Street Runner retails for $40 on the Junk UnderJeans site
Looking for a pair that is fashionable as well? Rufskin has been making Runners for years. The Lynx is one that isn’t so over the top that you can’t wear them to the gym. Some runners they have made are super sexy and may turn a few too many heads. The Lynx runner has a stripe that goes up the legs and back to accent the body. The olive has a shiny wet look finish. The black has a more rubber like appearance. The Lynx retails at $82 at the Rufskin site.
One thing we haven’t covered too much is color. There are some of us out there who love to wear color in our underwear and work out wear! JOR has released the JOR 0220 Runner Long Pant. The blue is a bright fun blue with a white stripe down the side and neon waistband. If you’re looking for something less bright they also make it in a black with a yellow stripe! Made out of a 96% polyester, 4% spandex blend. Find the JOR 0220 Runners at the Candyman Fashion site for $55.48
The last pair we are going to cover is the 2EROS BLK AKTIV line. These are basic black with a 2EROS waistband. Much like the Junk UnderJeans listed above these can be worn by themselves or under a pair of shorts. It’s made from a 95% Polyester / 5% Elastane lightweight fabric that will wick moisture away. Perfect for working out in. Can you go wrong with basic black? The BLK AKTIV Compression Tights retail for $89.95 AUD on the 2EROS Site.
Check out these five great pairs of runners. We are sure there will be one pair you will love!

Review JOR Mediterrano G-String from UNB Blog on Vimeo.
Bryce is back with another review. This time he’s reviewing JOR. The pair is the JOR Mediterrano G-String. It was furnished by Macondo Trading for us to review. Find this pair at Candyman Fashion (http://www.candymanfashion.com) and find us at http://www.unbblog.com
JOR has a great new video out and it’s features their fitness line. This is Model and fitness trainer Felipe Jimenez, show us a “regular” day in his life !!
Show of hands who here loves great colors? Who here loves great prints? Who here loves matching tanks and underwear? Who here loves bright fun swimwear? Who here loves bright work out wear? If you answered yes to any of those questions the new JOR collection is for you!
JOR is known for their amazing use of colors. It’s not just solid bright colors but prints as well. Each collection they come out with funs prints in both underwear and swimwear. They have a really amazing collection this year. We are going to show you a few pairs we think you guys need to get now!
Rally Collection – Sports mesh underwear is always some of the most comfortable undies. Well I think so. The Rally collection is a sports mesh of a boxer, brief, jock and thong. The entire line is awesome but the jockstrap is my favorite. Below we have all the styles in the line. Available in white, grey and black.
Mirror Collection – Just like a real mirror. The Mirror collection is a shiny nylon/spandex fabric. I don’t think you have to have all cotton and matte underwear. There are times you what to show off what you are wearing. A shiny fabric like the Mirror collection is awesome. They selected a black, white and blue. While the black is classic the blue really pops to me. My favorite in this line is the brief design. It’s low cut with contrasting trim. This line has a boxer, brief, jock and thong.
Lines Collection – Lines is a bit more conservative for JOR. They are known for doing mesh, bright colors. This is a more subtle for JOR. I am not say by any means this is a conservative pair. Stripes can be sometimes very boring. This definitely is not. The color combinations they use really stand out. The red is my favorite with red, pink and white stripes. It’s just fun! The styles in this collection are boxer and brief.
Tiger Collection – JOR has for the last few collections had lines that consists of a boxer, brief, jock, thong, tank and swim trunk and swim brief. It may sound like it would be over the top. These collections have been some of the best in the entire line. One thing I like best is the swimwear is not matchy matchy with the underwear. It’s similar but not the same. Each one of these deserves a feature but I chose the Tiger. Other lines with matching tanks are Animal, True Love, Picasso and Zebra
Monaco Swim Briefs – The Monaco series has one thing I love in swimwear. That is different colors than what is expected. This lines has a green and pink. The pink is awesome. The cut is a full swim brief that JOR is known for designing. These both will look amazing on the beach this year!
Vallarta Swim Briefs – Last collection they had flamingos and this time the Vallarta has the bright color print! The print seems to definitely be tropical inspired. The print is a leaf print which by itself has a hint of pink and yellow. Pari that with the pink in the front and you will stand out on the beach!
Runners – Runners are one of the biggest trends in men’s workout wear. JOR put their bright spin on runners. Last collection they had shorts and runners in solid colors. This collection they have two runners. One is a bright blue with a white stripe and the other is a black with yellow stripe. The waist band on the blue pair is a bright yellow. This will make the pair stand out and pop. If you don’t want to draw attention to yourself choose the black! The blue will get some looks!
Player Shorts – JOR has expanded their work out/active wear. These are shorter shorts. Not super booty shorts but form fitting and could be worn to the gym our as a cover up on the beach. The shiny nylon fabric and draw string waist really stand out. Pair that with the logo on the left leg. It really reminds of me of a retro pair of gym shorts. Ones you would see in the 70’s or early 80’s. Just available in blue or black.
This is just a few of the pairs I think you guys should know! There are several more you need to check out. See the collection on GDD World site or shop for it on Candyman Fashion site.

Recently I have had the privilege to try new brands that I have never worn before, only expanding my underwear knowledge. What I have enjoyed even more is that many of these new brands I am getting to try are offering more than one pair to review which lets me accurately decide how the brand is versus just getting lucky with one good pair. So here I am on my second pair of JOR. This time I reviewed the Rally Brief. This black beauty appears to be a simple basic brief but is made of a nylon and spandex combination and completely mesh. The see thru mesh definitely adds a sexual appeal to the brief, letting it stand apart from others in your drawer.
My usual test run of this pair consisted of another business work day with all of the usual movements to really test out a pair. When I first slipped the pair on, they felt good. The material was soft even with it being mesh. After some of these recent reviews I have done, I have to admit that I underestimated mesh underwear. They really do feel great and offer some amazing breath ability that you don’t always get in other styles of underwear. The one thing I will say about mesh that makes me laugh a little is when you are adjusting yourself your finger can quickly and briefly get stuck in the mesh hole. It reminds me of when you had to climb those nets in gym class back in the day and always got a foot stuck haha! The see thru mesh was sexy yet tasteful. I did notice that the brief is a little more full than what I am used to. I enjoy the skimpier briefs and bikinis, while this one I feel is fuller on the sides and thigh. This is great for guys looking to transition from boxer briefs to briefs or who enjoy longer briefs. With that being said, the pair offers great coverage in the front and the back. You may feel exposed in mesh but this pair holds everything where it needs to be and does
not ride up or skimp anywhere on the fabric needed to make you feel secure in your underwear. The waistband is thicker than many pairs of underwear as well, just showing how this is made for guys who appreciate more fabric on their underwear. The waistband shows off the JOR logo, complete with the signature star.
I wear a medium and feel that JOR truly lives up to its sizing requirements. The pair fit excellent all around. I had enough room and coverage in the front and back, the waistband was not tight or uncomfortable, and the pair stayed in place all through the day. This is big! How many times can you say a pair does that?
Overall I feel like JOR does not get as much exposure as they deserve. This is a great brand with great designs and great underwear. If you have not had an experience in JOR Underwear, what are you waiting for?

Next up on my 15 new brands in 2015 was to review Jor. Up until joining UNB I had never heard of Jor. Over the past year I had seen many pictures and write ups for Jor and decided it was time to try this brand. I was given the Fractal brief in orange to review. The first thing I noticed about this pair was the color scheme and design. There are some great geometric shapes covering this pair while they use an amazing color palette that is unlike anything I already own. The orange and purple combinations are so eye popping this pair will definitely stand out. A great way to add color to your underwear drawer. The waistband features a bold JOR logo with a star on it. Simple, yet fun and classy look to it.
As I felt the pair I could tell the material was a little different than I had felt on other pairs I owned as well. It’s a mesh pair and a nylon/spandex combination. I was curious how that would feel all day as it wasn’t much cotton like as my other pairs typically are. As I am discovering, Jor thrives on being different. When I slipped them on, I was surprised at how nice the material felt against the body. Impressed actually. I wear a medium and the fit was great. I have seen other reviews mention that the pair seems to fit large. I can see where people may think this so I would suggest going lower if you are on the cusp of sizes. I am a 32″ waist and the medium fit me great. I would not go down to a small. That being said, the pair held up great during my basic busy work day. One of the things I always look for in a great pair of underwear is how often I have to adjust myself, whether in the front or in the back. With this pair, I maybe only had to adjust myself twice. It never rode up and I never felt like my packages was smashed. So this pair had enough room in the front pouch to allow everything to be comfortable and sit where it needs to sit without any fancy gimmicks of enhanced pouches. The
back covers the butt nicely and the material keeps great coverage throughout the day. Anytime you can wear a pair of underwear and not spend your day adjusting it is a winner in my book!
For my first Jor, I was quite pleased and impressed. I think the pair holds up great to everyday wear, offers a comfortable feel, and does a unique design to offer some variety to the classic underwear drawer.

Are you a fan of JOR? If so you will love the new collection that they just released. They have always been known for fun colors and fabrics. This collection is no different! They have everything form the sports mesh they are known for to some fun colors for Spring to awesome prints!
The prints this year have been amazing. Over the last few years prints have grown on me. I used to rarely wear them, but now its one of my favorite things. I love the ones that they have that are not prints you would normally see in underwear. They are colorful, fun and super hot. My two favorites are Sahara and Graffiti.
They have a set of pastels this collection. There are two that stick out the Jupiter (green below) and Mediterraneo (blue below) collections. The Jupiter is either a green or pink stripe fabric in all the styles including a tank. The Mediterraneo is a microfiber collection in a green and blue. It’s sleek, hot and fun. Both of these styles will help you celebrate spring!
What would a JOR collection be without some swimwear? Two great pairs are the Marine and Ocean. The Marine is a striped swimsuit with image on the left hip.The Marine is available in a trunk/square cut. One cool thing about the Marine is there is a matching underwear and tank. The Ocean is a water print with Wild Summer written on the back. It is available in a brief and trunk/square cut.
This is only a quick overview of the collection. There are many more pairs in this collection. To see more go to GDD World site and go under Brands!
Much like Clever, JOR has a new line that that just got released. This is a behind the scenes video of the new collection. We hope you enjoy it and will check out the new JOR
Enjoy this quick behind the scenes video from JOR! New brands are coming out very soon! I am back from Vegas and was going to write some stuff up but came down with bronchitis so you will get it next week.
This is another amazing shot from our Holiday Guide. It is a solo shot of Michael in JOR underwear. This was one of his first modeling jobs and we had a lot of fun with Michael!
With great pleasure we bring you the 2014 Holiday Guide shoot. We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors GDD World (Clever, JOR, ManView Bodywear), Modus Vivendi, Cocksox, aussieBum, Wood Underwear and Charles Owo. It was a was our best shoot to date. We had one minor hiccup but other than that the day went super smooth!
The video was released yesterday, which gave you a preview to the shoot. The photographer is Ignacio Rivera Jr. who has shot our last years Holiday Guide and the 2014 Swimwear Guide. Our models are Derek Yates, Chandler, Michael and Nathan. All had a lot of fun during and after the shoot when we did dinner!
We hope you enjoy the pics and get some of these great pairs for yourself or your loved one this holiday Season.
