Men’s Underwear

Category

I love bringing you guys new brands. A new one that just came onto the international market is Mr. Smith. It’s a brand I think you guys will love. This what they told us about the brand:

Men’s underwear is nothing new. First introduced just over a hundred years ago to solve the problem of men’s anatomy and bicycles, it’s evolved significantly. Over the years men’s smalls have become more interesting and a staple fashion item for many a young chap’s wardrobe. But the model of new underwear brands is often very much the same. That is, think of a name, send it to a factory somewhere and let them deal with it all for you.

Not the case for young entrepreneur Craig, who has made it his mission over recent years to champion the UK textile industry and find another way.

Following the decline of the UK’s textile manufacturing sector, the number of British clothing factories has diminished to a fraction of its former presence. Where once, towns in the north would have a factory on most street corners, now they lay scattered about the country, specializing in their own field.

Presented with the problem of large initial orders and the prospect of having to deal with import agencies starting out, Craig decided on a different route; do it yourself.

Based from his small factory in the heart of Yorkshire, Craig has created a lean but efficient production facility based within a still-working yarn mill.  Equipping the factory with all of the necessary machines to do the job from savings and working alongside, he opened the factory 9 years ago, designing and making for other small brands along the way. A long-term dream he set out with; to do better and to do it here in Britain was finally underway.

Craig began his life in underwear manufacturing by launching his first brand, Bum-Chums, a quirky brand aimed towards the LGBT market, filling a niche. He was insistent that as much of the manufacturing should be done in the UK as possible. From the knitting of the cloth in Nottingham, the dying of the cloth in Huddersfield and the making of the Elastic in the midlands, the running theme was to support the UK textile industry. Making the underwear himself was just the natural extension of that model.

So launching Mr Smith’s, very much a mass-market underwear brand really is the natural evolution for him.

After spending time learning the craft and perfecting the shapes and fit of his men’s underwear designs, Craig launched the initial collection of Mr Smith’s in February of this year.  Creating Mr Smith’s Underwearto be a heritage brand with a real sense of provenance, Craig set the foundations for a brand he hopes will see the test of time and rejuvenate the British Textile trade.

Already, he is working on the second collection, which Craig says will see the introduction of colour to the current monochromatic palate. “Colour is important with underwear, as are prints. Many men like me base their look for the day based on the underwear they select.” Craig suggests.

With new styles that the brand says has been designed and engineered to fit, enhance, support and complement the masculine physique.

Mr Smith’s Underwear can be found online at mrsmithsunderwear.co.ukand Craig tells us that he is currently in discussion with a number of boutique stores on the high street as well as online too. The Mr Smith’s debut collection includes men’s Trunk and Brief styles of underwear and they’re priced at just £18. The product is great value, especially considering it’s a British-Made item.

Where are our show-offs? We have something that is made to show off in. 4 Hunks has created their very first pair of spandex shorts. These aren’t just any shorts they have the sexy and erotic spin that you would expect for 4 Hunks. 4 Hunks are all about helping a guy wear gear that they just feel sexy AF in wearing. Having received a few pieces, I feel like I can confidently say that!
Here is what 4 Hunks told us about the new shorts:
We designed this short to give you a gear that you can tease and play with other Hunks. To tease them taking selfies or flirting in a bar or club.
We choose the lightest lycra so that you can show your male vpl through the lycra. Fabric that feels cool on the skin and that follows every centimeter of your body, and that feels awesome when you rub it against your skin. In addition to that, we searched for the best proportion between the mesh and the lycra to enhance your butt form. Your butt looks yummy on this skinsuit short.
On the front, we add a pop-up area to tease Hunks hoping that something might pop-up outside to the mesh area if you get too excited flirting.
Are you ready to tease some Hunks?”
Check out the new shorts! We hope you wear them out and have fun!

4-Hunks furnished the Load Brief for review.  All opinions of the review are my own and were not influenced by (brand).

Rating: 9/10 (Average of the ratings below)

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

Pros:

  • A great mix of fetish and regular pair.
  • Fits great and gives great support
  • Super fun design

Cons

  • Note if you have issues with some mesh it may rub you the wrong way
  • May not be a work pair if you have to show undies

UNB Tim recommendation: It’s a great mix of a traditional pair and fetish. You can wear to work under jeans or a suit. Then head out for a fun night at the bar or home with a harness. It’s a great pair that I really enjoyed and plan to wear a lo tmore


This is my first pair of 4 Hunks for a review. This won’t be my last either, I have a few different things to try out. I’m super excited because I love their style that is a mix of regular underwear and fetishwear! The brief I am reviewing is the Load Brief. This brief is a mesh brief. I have some issues with mesh briefs. Some of the fabrics feel like a cheese grater on my business. It’s not a design or brand but the mesh and me. I usually have to adjust and it’s fine.

Unfortunately, this happened with this pair. But it was something I expected and prepared for, so it wasn’t an issue and I didn’t take off for that in my overall review. I wore this pair to work on a regular day. I didn’t do anything too athletic or working out. I really liked the fit and feel of the pair. The mesh was stretchy and gave great coverage. It was even more so than I expected.

The look of the pair is super sexy. You can wear it just as is with jeans or a suit. I think it would be awesome under a suit. Pair this with their harness and it’s total fetish pair. The sports mesh harness would be ideal but any of their harnesses will make a great partner. I like pairs that can be fetish or regular underwear!

The sizing surprised me. I was expecting it to be smaller than it was. The size received was an XL. On the 4 Hunks size chart that fits 41-42 inch waist. They have an odd size chart but for the most part, it’s pretty standard. The medium is a 31.5-33.4 inches. Just double check the size chart before you buy!

There are two things you guys love, skimpy undies and small prices. But, who doesn’t love those things that read this blog? One new brand that Planet Undies brought to our attention is Bucksters. This is what they told us about the line:

“Bucksters Underwear, 100% sexy! The brand presents men’s underwear very mini and at low prices, through models of thong, mini slips and body. A range of very visual colors, and the classic white and black classics. The Insolent Thong is the best-selling model, it is characterized by a good fitting and a very well made visual appearance.”

The line is smaller than most. There are only four styles. The Body String So Free, String Bolster, Insolent Micro Thong, and Lovely Thong. The last two have 4 colors in the line. They are limited in the amount of colors. But that’s not a bad thing. As the line grows they will have more colors.

The label has a clear brand vision and all of its products reflect its philosophy. Designing and creating original and elegant items for the confident man who appreciates high quality and luxury at all times.
L’Homme Invisible’s new line, Copacabana, comes in two colours, black and turquoise, and is perfect for those who want to start their summer in a classic or rejuvenating way.
The line includes a T-shirt and three styles of underwear: a string striptease, a hipster push up and a miniboxer. This trendy range has been made by a high quality and soft microfiber Austrian fabric, that creates a unique and elegant result which resembles the sparkling sea. The Copacabana T-shirt features a deep V-neck, short sleeves and very discreet branding with black, contrasting, detailing. This amazing T-shirt’s fit makes it perfect for wearing either as undershirt or on its own. The sexy G-string thong comes with an ergonomic contoured cut which flatters your back and two handy fasteners on each side of the pouch to take it off… in a striptease style! The Copacabana Hipster push up comprises an ergonomic U-shaped pouch, lined with a thin skin colour Italian fabric, and offers comfort and an unparalleled look. The last underwear style of the range, the sensual miniboxer, features a body-hugging, short length cut which results in an overall sleek and contemporary appearance. All of the range’s items are offered in four convenient sizes to suit most (from S to XL).
The Copacabana modern line has been inspired by the view of the gleaming sea from afar. The original texture of the items, along with the light, almost like a feather, material used depict perfectly the shimmering seascape that the summer sun creates. A stylish and sexy offer, the Copacabana range combines quality, innovation, comfort, elegance and luxury in an original, yet appealing way that will suit the modern man who loves to smarten up. Don’t miss it!

Beauty is, they say, in the eye of the beholder. The same applies to colour, especially for men’s underwear. This week the experts at Deadgoodundies.com in the UK are revelling in a carnival of new summer shades. As they say, perception is everything. One man’s crimson is another chap’s pink, while blues and greens can appear different depending on far more than just eyesight. Matt, silky or truly shiny, ultra smooth, finely or intensely textured, the effect of a colour is also influenced by the type of fabric. And once on the body, a colour can come into its own or fall totally flat.

MANSTORE M101 CHEEKY BRIEF £31.00

The latest arrivals in the famous Manstore M101 collection are Hot Pink, Reed green and Surf blue, joining Chilli red and Royal blue, black and white. The brand is famous for strong colours which sell out fast on DGU.

MODUS VIVENDI POLKADOT LOW CUT BRIEF £18.00

Brilliant use of colour on the softest matt cotton. DGU hint that Modus Vivendi will be repeating these glorious spots in swimwear later this season…

MANSTORE M200 CHEEKY BRIEF £31.00

RED ALERT! Just as beautiful Carrot and Rosso join the long list of colour options for Manstore’s bestselling M200 underwear for men, news has broken that the range is to be discontinued later this year.

HOM FUNKY TRUNK £22.00

Sometimes colour works best on a larger scale – on boxer briefs like these from HOM. Funky Trunks come in turquoise, navy, green, orange, yellow and bright pink. Another seasonal palette that won’t be around long.

COMFYBALLS SUPERLIGHT PERFORMANCE LONG BOXER £30.00

In Pitch Black this new sporty long leg undershort for men is a classic – but in the brand’s new orange with a navy waistband, the effect is much livelier.

MODUS VIVENDI MOHAIR LOW CUT BRIEF £18.50

 

Colour and texture combine to express utter luxury in the marine blue version of Modus Vivendi’s knitted men’s underwear – feels like real mohair but made by man. The kitten soft fabric also comes in silver grey, off white and sand.

 

 

 

Are you ready for some more PetitQ? The brand is back with their third line of 2018. Last year they released, I believe, 8 different collections. This is massive in the world of men’s underwear. Most brands released 2-3 collections a year. Talking with them, they are working hard to create some great gear! I think they succeed each release!

They love making sexy underwear without rules. This new collection has lace, harness and skimpy cuts. It’s what they are known for creating. This collection we are going to focus on a few pairs that I think you guys will love. However, there are a few more pairs in this collection.

HARNESS TARNIOS

Harnesses are one of the newest hottest things in the world of fetishwear. The new Harness Tarnios is pretty cool. It’s ring and elastic design has a bulldog harness design. It’s actually a really cool design. The rings are just in the front and side. The elastic forms the straps. I really like this design a lot! The Harness Tarnios retails for $29.95.

BIKINI CEYRAT

Looking for something with a bit more flair? Something with a pouch and some lace? The Bikini Ceyrat is perfect for you. The front is half lace with a pouch. The cutouts leave little to the imagination. The pouch on the left is blue and right is white. Imagine wearing this on a date night! The Bikini Ceyrat is available in Navy and White, retails for $17.90

BIKINI BASTET

You guys LOVE skimpy gear. Regardless of gay/straight it’s all about the skimpy and great fit. The Bikini Bastet is more of a jock thong. The front has the look of a bikini but the back is completely open with a strap down the middle. It’s a really cool design! It retails for $16.90 and comes in Navy.

Go to the PetitQ site to see more of the amazing pairs.

There is something that is causing controversy in gyms across the country… Well, not really but I thought it would be fun to make that statement. But, there is a new conundrum with the rise of runners. Do you wear them by themselves or do you wear shorts over them? There seem to be two different views.

There is the group that has no issue wearing runners to the gym without anything over them. A guy has curves and bulges and it’s nothing to be ashamed up. Outside of the obvious show-offs, most guys who wear them to the gym want the extra support throughout a workout. They are not there to show off everything they have to everyone who cares to look. The runners simply are comfortable gym gear. Most guys who don’t wear anything over them tend to wear the brighter colors and prints. They like having fun with their gear as much as their underwear.

Then there are the guys who feel that you should wear shorts over them. These guys do it for modesty. They don’t want to show off their business to everyone. These guys are a bit more conservative. They don’t wear the bright colors and prints. They stick to the classic black, navy and such. Wanting the same support as the other guys, they just feel its less of a statement piece and more function over form.

Which type of guy are you? Which guy is right? My personal opinion is that you should be able to wear them without shorts. I hate the extra layer on me, especially when working out. Plus I like the awesome colors as well. But, it’s about doing what you want, if you feel comfortable going without shorts and if you don’t wear the shorts. Do what you feel best.

Let us know which you do!

Let me start this post by asking, do you remember if aussieBum ever made a thong before? I am racking my brain and since 2008 I don’t recall them ever making a thong in either underwear or swim. If they have made one it’s been years ago! This makes me hesitant to say this is their first thong. Simply because I’m not sure.

The new line is made for those who want to show more skin. To do that the styles are a jock brief and a thong. Which they call a G-string. Both of these styles look awesome. The fabric looks super comfy. They say it’s a silky smooth second skin feel. The fabric is an 85% Nylon 15% Elastane blend.

The colors in this line are Neutral and black. They kind of fit the nude feel of the line. I, personally, am not a huge thong fan. I like them but unlike other members of UNB they aren’t my favorite for everyday wear. After seeing this one, I really want it. There is something about the design that speaks to me and I think it would be super comfy.

I say this new line should be on your MUST buy list. However, there is one downside you must know. These are machine washable but they do not recommend you tumble dry them. That means air dry. Many pairs out there is air dry or hand wash now. It really depends on how much you want this pair.

You can find this pair and many more on the aussieBum site. Plus some amazing swim such as the classic Aussie nylon swim briefs.

Fetishwear is ever evolving in the world of men’s underwear. It used to just be leather and mesh, but in the last few years more brands are producing fetish underwear and gear. Gone are the days where you would find the fetish gear in the back pages of magazines. Now it’s front and center and both gay and straight guys are wearing it! Here are the top Fetish types for this year. 

Neoprene

Neoprene is no longer for wetsuits. It has been on the rise. It has a few advantages. The first is the shape. You can create a silhouette that will enhance what you have. It can be made into jocks, briefs and more! Brands that have embraced the fabric are BodyAware, Cellblock 13, and Cocksox.

Lace

Lace has gone from an unheard of fabric to one of the most popular in men’s underwear. The mixture of masculine and feminine is what I think most guys love. It’s the wearing of the forbidden fabric.  There isn’t any style not made in lace, although the popular pairs are, of course, thongs, bikinis, and briefs. In recent years bodysuits are being made in lace. Brands that have embraced lace are BodyAware, PetitQ, Pikante, Andrew Christian and Joe Snyder

Harnesses

One thing I didn’t think would catch on would be harnesses. They have been a staple in the world of leather. However, these harnesses are not made out of leather. Many of them are made out of neoprene and elastic. They come in many different styles. From the traditional cross over the chest, bulldog (just at the top) and shoulder. Some brands sell them separately or tied in with another pair. The brands making harneeses are Cellblock 13, Maskulo, Garcon Model, Andrew Christian

Cod Pieces

This is a new trend in the world of fetishwear. They aren’t exactly new though. Cod Pieces basically pouches that detach. A lot of the times they are padded. They are to enhance the pouch and show off, well that’s my opinion about them! I have noticed more brands starting to make these in their underwear. The most well known is Maskulo. They have mastered the Cod Piece. Other brands using them are the new Mertailor Men, BodyAware and more.

Singlets

Just like codpieces, these aren’t new to the world of fetish. Originally they were made for wrestling. To get them you needed to go to a sporting goods store. Now they are designed for play. With cut-outs in the front and back. Brands are designing them to fit in with their other gear. Including making them with codpieces! If you are a fan, like I am, of the traditional wrestling singlets, they are still around! It’s just a more diverse market now! Brands making them are N2N Bodywear, Barcode Berlin, Andrew Christian, 4 Hunks, and more.

These are 5 of the most popular fetish wear styles of the year. I fully expect each fo these to grow and hopefully get a few new trends happening!

aussieBum has released the 2.0 version of the Catch line. If you aren’t familiar with this line, it was created out of a whim. We had Sean Ashby on the UNB Podcast a few years ago and he mentioned they created this pair because they had a model with some great assets and they wanted to show it off. They went and created it real quick, never thinking it would be a production pair, and here we are years later and its version 2.0.

I would say this is a definite second version of the Catch. This time it comes in white and black. The styles are a brief (like the 1.0 version) and a bikini. Both are made out of 100% see-through mesh. This is one time when the aussieBum slogan comes in handy. “If you doubt yourself, wear something else.” These are for a guy who wants to show off big time! I mean the pictures don’t feature a model at all! That should tell you something.

This is what aB says about the pairs:

Leave nothing to the imagination with the new Catch of the Day, back at aussieBum in a new and improved style. This innovative fish net inspired underwear range is designed for the man who dares to wear it. Available in 2 hot styles; Brief and bikini, Catch of the Day reflects attitude, style & confidence

Why not try something out of your comfort zone? Something that leaves little to the imagination and could be the start of a great night for you and someone special!

This isn’t the only surprise in the email that I got about this pair, I think they have made their first thong as well! More on that this weekend!

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
