Marcuse Underwear

It’s Time for the new Marcuse Summer collection. Yes you heard me right, being an Aussie Brand they are gearing up for Summer. This year they have some amazing new pairs. They have quite a few pairs in this collection. The list of pairs are as follows.

Note there is a mix of underwear and swimwear. Marcuse makes really great everything. It’s super hard to pick just one over the other. One thing that I love about the new collection is the bright colors. I’m personally a fan of bright colors in swim and underwear.

This looked like a super fun shoot. For this collection, Marcuse invited photographer Igor Kireev @igorkireev_photographer to shoot 2 HOT models Tumash Dmitriy @diman_t_m and Kirill Mikhailov @mikhailov_kill

It’s Thong Thursday! One brand that is new to the thong area is Marcuse. I’m sure you guys know all about their amazing swimwear. And maybe even some of their awesome underwear. Marcuse has released the Egoist thong. It’s part of their Egoist line. We have profiled the briefs a few times before.

What are important things you guys love in thongs? It has to have a great pouch! Check, this one does and can give you a bit of natural enhancement to the goods. Great colors, Check. Just available in two colors white and blue. A great back that won’t ride up, bind or be annoying, Check. This has a what seems to be a nice smaller string in the back. This is my personal pet peeve about thongs.

Other things you may love about this pair are: The Egoist line has the Marcuse signature waistband. Which has the Marcuse name front and center The contrasting trim makes this pair pop! One thing that they do on their site tells you about the model to judge sizing. “Our model is wearing size M. Height: 178cm (5’9″) – Waist: 81.5cm (32″) – Lower Waist: 90cm (35.5″)” Speaking of the model, you may recognize him as Anatoly Goncharov. He has been in many of their shoots. He’s the Russian underwear supermodel. Well, I think so!

Check out this thong for your next thong Thursday.

COLORS: Blue or White
FABRIC: 95% Cotton 5% Elastane
SIZES: Xtra-Small – Large
COST: $17.99 AUD

SodaEarlier this week we brought you the new Ibiza from Marcuse. They have also released a new range called Peep! The new Peep line reminds me of Lucky Jeans. If you are familiar with the brand when you unzip the zipper it says “Lucky You.” I love that about them. Now Marcuse has brought this fun feature to the world of men’s underwear.

The line is a hipster design that comes in 4 colors. Each one of the colors has a different saying. It again like the Ibiza is fun without being over the top. Unlike novelty underwear this is only seen if you show it to someone. If you don’t want them to see, they may not know there is any sayings written on the pair.

Here is what Marcuse tells us about the range:

Peep – Peep if you’re cheeky! Designed in a hipster style to sit low on the hips, Peep is simply decorated with a printed metallic 3D logo waistband with a cheeky ‘greeting’ under the horizontal fly front. Made with cotton/elastane fabric that breathes, this fun pair of underwear will comfortably showcase your masculinity.
Price – AUD$19.95
Size. XS – L
Colour and greeting
Red – Welcome back!
White – G’day Stranger!
Sky – Hello!!!
Yellow – Enjoy!

New (2)I am always happy to seen new lines from Marcuse. The brand has a very unique and sexy style. In their underwear lines they haven’t created many prints. The Ibiza is a really fun and colorful print that I really love. Prints are my new favorite in underwear. More brands are bringing out their creative side and trying different prints. They range from prints like the Ibiza line to geometric and everything in between.

They have tried something new and I think it’s paid off well!  The prints are tropical but not to kitchy. I have to say these are my favorite prints of this year! Marcuse is no stranger to making a guy look amazing. Previous collections have always been super sexy but over the top!

Here is what Marcuse told us about the new line:

Marcuse taps into Ibiza, providing the perfect themed look for our brand’s printed underwear. We reckon you’ll soak up the vibe in these classic ocean-inspired silhouette prints, fitted with elastic waistband to hug your masculine waist. Where ever you seek the sun and the pulsating rhythm of life, throw in your pair of Marcuse Ibiza briefs!

Fabric. 95% Cotton 5% Elastane. Price. AUD$21.95 (US $16.05). Size. XS – L. Colour. Orange, yellow, white and sky. Ibiza also comes in a gift box of 4, (one of each colour) and the price is AU$69.95 (US $51.14)

IMG_4334qI’ve had the pleasure of getting my feet wet here at UNB by reviewing the Marcuse United Brief in blue. I was excited to try these because I don’t own any Marcuse and thought the style and colors of their line would be right up my alley. The United comes in 8 different colors individually ($13.13 USD) or you can buy a box set of all 8 together. ($74.13 USD)

I chose a relatively lazy but hot Los Angeles Sunday to try these out to be on the safe side. After cleaning the house a bit, lounging in front of the TV and walking a few blocks to go eat dinner, I have to say they held up well. They were even my PJs for the night. They stayed in place, were comfortable and I feel would be a good choice for everyday underwear. They would not be my first pick for a really active day or the gym. I think the pouch was a bit too snug and I prefer a IMG_9263spandex/microfiber fabric that dries easily for really sweaty days.

I am a 31-32 waist so I go between small and medium depending on the brand. This pair was a medium (which says it fits 32-34) and I’m glad that’s what I received! Based on their size chart, a small would be my usual choice but they wouldn’t have fit. I definitely recommend going up a size – especially if you need more room in certain areas…

I loved the styling and royal blue color with the white contrast trim around the legs and down the sides of the front panel. The Marcuse waistband with a red stripe and their logo written in rubberized lettering (air dry – no dryer). There is a fun, little button on the fly which is functional if you aren’t a “pull ‘em down” type in the bathroom. The material is nice and soft (95% cotton) with a good amount of stretch (5% elastane). The only area I would have liked to see a difference in would be the pouch, or lack thereof. The briefs fit well but don’t leave much room up front so everything was a bit squished. I’m not a fan of “show it” pouches but definitely appreciate a little extra space for my package. The back is cut smaller than classic briefs, which I love because I’m not too well endowed in the back. For guys with a real bubble butt, this would probably just barely cover everything, which isn’t always a negative. 🙂
