It’s Tuesday, that means it’s time for $12 Tuesday. The pair they have this week is the Active Trunk. But that’s not all they have the several pairs for just $5. So get this and some other amazing pairs at the Baskit site.
In the last few years the main style of most men have been a boxer brief. They have hit mainstream stores and the majority of guys wear them on a daily basis. This has shifted from the boxer trend of the 2000’s. So underwear is getting more form fitting. Comfort along with style have become two factors for guys in buying underwear.
The collections we have released have been a mix of briefs and boxer briefs. But, it seems guys are branching out and trying new things. On our holiday shoot two of the models Chandler and MIchael were the guys were were talking about. They never really wore briefs but after Chandler told me he can’t believe how great they feel.
I think more guys are starting to branch out and try new things. No longer is it expected that you have to wear boxers. More guys including straight guys are paying attention to what they wear. They spend big money on their jeans, shirts and pants. Why wear some six pack underwear you buy at a big box store. The underwear you wear should match the rest of your clothes.
So are briefs making a come back? I say yes to this because more brands are making them. In the 2000’s it was pretty hard to find briefs. Companies like Calvin Klein, 2(X)ist, Cocksox and C-IN2 all had briefs in their line up. Other brands like Junk UnderJeans started with pretty much all trunks and now have a full line of briefs. It’s become pretty standard in their yearly catalog.
We are no where near briefs being the main style of underwear guys wear but the days of all boxer briefs all the time are coming to an end. I say by 2017 briefs will out number boxer briefs in men’s underwear? Will I be right? Maybe not but I think it’s safe to say it will grow to be close to 50%.
Underwear with a great pouch is one of my favorite things in underwear EVER. It is also a big topic for you guys as well. One of our posts for endowed guys has constantly searched as one of top ranked posts. So when Curb Wear send me about the Enhance I was all about it! They made a pouch design with out any sort of straps or details you have to put on!
Here are two FAQ’s from their site:
Is the Enhancing Pouch for me?
Yes, if you want a bigger, more comfortable boost with no uncomfortable straps, cups or pockets.
How does it work?
The fabric is contoured to create a comfortable lift and ‘push out’ effect without any padding.
What makes this brief different?
A natural looking lift that is comfortable to wear all day. Piping on the back creates the look of a rounder, firmer bum.
It is made out of a 93% Cotton and 7% Elastane fabric.so it will be comfortable and soft. Elastane gives the fabric a stretch similar to a spandex blend. It comes in a blue and white brief, along with navy hip. This is also in the Identity line with Blow me (in black) and Top (in Blue).
Find these pairs at the Curb Wear site!
We got a few teaser shots from Curb Wear! If you remember last year they did a shoot in the London Tube. Now they have gone on another iconic London transportation vehicle. The Double Decker Buses. This is just a quick picture and will have more from them soon!
What would the winter be without a new Tartan line from 2(X)ist. Every year like clockwork they refresh the collection and make it better than the last! This year they have a few new styles. The one that is really cool is the Union Suit! I am going to focus on the Long Johns of the collection. Long Johns are the one thing that seems to get bigger every year and 2(X)ist has put their spin on them with this collection.
The collection has four different colors. They are black, grey heather, cranberry and grey heather/cranberry stripe. My personal favorite is the striped. Its like the print to me that pops. But pick the favorite color and its topped with the famous tartan waistband. Each year they tweet it to make it better than last years. This is a big selling point for me.
You maybe asking sure it looks great but will it function in cold weather? The line is made out of 100% cotton that can be worn under your favorite pants without being too bulky. This with ribbed ankles so they will stay in place through out the day! Lastly, it has a functional fly for those who like those!
The collection is out now and comes in a limited edition log box. This package is one of the most creative for underwear I have seen in a long time. So if you need long johns this year check the Tartan line out from 2(X)ist. The Long Johns retail for $39
I received an email this weekend from VonCoda. Which is an underwear company I have never heard of before. But these pictures really intrigued me. They are doing something different and fun. Their site is in Polish so Google Translate didn’t do a good job with the text. Their Facebook page says the are a handmade underwear company. I have emailed them to find out more. But in the mean time enjoy this collection, which will be released December 1at!
Bartłomiej Chabałowski photographed and directed the new vonCoda Underwear 2014/2015 print campaign starring model Bartłomiej Brykalski. Stylist: Marcin Kulak. The collection was designed by Dawid Koczy. Premier – 1st of December.
Obviously is one of those great underwear companies that I think doesn’t get much notice. Those who know about the brand rave about them but I think there is a large number of people in the US who still don’t know about them. So when they release a new range we MUST report it to you guys!
The new range or line as they call it in Australia is the Premium range. “The Essence Collection is the first release, is made from our custom blend of incredibly softMicroModal and Lycra – giving you a level of comfort that truely has to be experienced to be believed.”
The collection features the Naked Brief, Trunk, Boxer Brief 3 inch and Boxer Brief 9 inches. The colors available are Black, White, Graphite and Insignia Blue You maybe asking “What is the Naked part of the line?” This s what their site says “The Naked Range is specifically engineered for those guys who are not afraid to go Naked and experience the freedom that an anatomical pouch provides. The pouch technology lets your package hang as nature intended and sets a new standard in superior comfort and fit.”
I will say that Obviously is one company I have loved since before I started UNB. They have made amazing underwear made for real men. If you want to see more go to the Obviously site! We hope you will go check them out and buy some amazing underwear!
Fan of the Pop Colors or Stripes? If you order $40 or more you can get $10 off your order. This is good till Sunday, and make sure you use code POP10 at check out! Shop the C-IN2 site
We received a bunch of amazing pictures from Alexander Cobb. This is what they said about the collection. “The collection is completed with one-color underwear, in classical variations without much color intervention, or in combination with bordered finish and seam of another color, to add dynamic to models. The colors are black and white, classical and timeless, as well as warm yellow, bright and sunny, and blue that portrays men’s principles. ”
WOW! Not only have we introduced three new styles to the DT Essentials Underwear range, but we have reduced the regular pricing on the original jockstrap and jock brief and as an introductory offer, we’ve put the works on sale for 10% off. That’s 10% off the new regular pricing at Jockstrap Central! 
DT is all about getting back to basics with their Essentials collection. Sure, all the newfangled underwear with the splashy names with gizmos and gadgets are great but sometimes you just need a pair of underwear that’s stylish in it’s simplicity and so comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing it. The Essentials range is just that. Joining the jockstrap and jock brief we launched a month or so ago, are the new Essentials Low Rise Brief (with a pouch within a pouch for a better bulge,) the Asymmetric Brief (our personal favorite for it’s streamlined subtle styling) and Boxer Brief (for it’s total comfort factor).
All five designs come in three colors: Army, Black or Grey. Be sure to check out our models Dan, Gerry and Matt modeling all the gear to see how the DT underwear fits three distinctive different body types.

Modus Vivendi proudly presents the third part of its spectacular 2015 campaign in which its latest collection is presented by 10 of the most individual, visionary photographers working around the globe today.
After visiting Leicester for Gavin Harrison’s shoot of the new Pride line and crossing the Atlantic all the way to sunny California, where Tom Cullis gave us some unforgettable images of the Military line, our next stop in Modus Vivendi’s 2015 style campaign is Thessaloniki, Greece, the home of the brand itself.
Using his imagination as his only weapon and the Wolf Line as his inspiration, Greek photographer Nick Gogas was unleashed to present this new line in his own inimitable way. The results, we think, are amazing.
The Wolf line is masculine, contemporary and with a certain sense of fun. And this is precisely the spirit which our Greek photographer captures in his work, presenting the line in a straightforward yet visually striking fashion.
The charismatic model chosen by Nick Gogas is Christos Artemiou. Dark and moody, Christos oozes quiet energy and confident style.
Winter is coming. The Wolf line is here. Stylish, in subtle tones of dark blue and grey. Warm to wear, in fabrics of the highest Italian quality. And unmistakably Modus Vivendi (with all the detailing the brand is famous for), the Wolf line delivers on promise: strong, imposing, fascinating.

I have known about Shrine Boxers for almost a year. Rob, the owner came to Vegas and one of our Meet and Greets. The first thing I noticed was he was taller than I was, and I”m 6’4”. The next thing was he started a underwear company. He told me why he started the company (see the Kickstarter post). He really impressed me!
In a recent call he brought up my interview about how “I hate boxer briefs” and said when theirs comes out it will change my mind. Those are big claims. But, I decided to go into it with an open mind! The pairs came in the mail and the first thing that I liked was the quality. The fabric was very well made and perfect for working out or being active. I wore these to work in a very hectic and busy day.
I did everything form sit at the desk, run up and down stairs to being super active that day. Other Boxer Briefs I have had got very hot and uncomfortable during the day. This pair breathed and felt great. Its like they made it for super active guys. I will say it really impressed me on how well it did. The pair didn’t ride up in the legs. Which is another pet peeve of boxer briefs. They stayed in place and didn’t bunch. So score another point.
My one are alf concern was the pouch. They didn’t have a defined pouch as I would like. So from the time I put them on I worried about them loosing shape and me being uncomfortable. Granted the pouch didn’t stay 100% perfect for me but it wasn’t one where I wanted to take them off half way through the day.
Sizing with a new brand is never easy. You don’t know if the size guide is correct. I”m about a 38/40 currently and the XL fit me pretty well. I don’t see a copy of their size chart on their page yet. The line should be released soon and we will add them to our size guide! But it should be pretty standard shipping
Overall these were very good boxer briefs. Did it change my mind, well I won’t say I’m a super huge fan but I will be wearing these more than a lot of other boxer briefs. They are perfect for a busy day and will breath with you. I am really impressed
Pros:
- Breathable materials
- Prefect for an active day
- Great construction
Cons:
- No defined pouch
Ratings
- Daily Fit – 8.5
- Sizing – 9
- Construction – 10
- Styling – 8.5
- Daily Performance – 9

As I sit here typing i have just in from doing the Long Johns shoot with some amazing N2N. One pair in that shoot is the N2N Lounge Pants. Which I’m supposed to be reviewing in this review but… I sorta mailed them to Tim in LA by mistake and kept his Onezee. So we’re trading them out and will have those reviews soon! DOH!
The Lounge collection is amazingly soft. Its made to do just what it says, lounge around the house and feel comfy all day. The brief is no different. When I slid them on I immediately noticed how soft they were. I was a little worried they may not have great support through the day. But, being N2N, I should have known better. They now how to make underwear with an amazing pouch and support.
This pair is made out of 95% rayon/5% spandex and says “conforms to every curve yet has enough fabulous stretch to accommodate for maximum comfort. “ Which I can attest to it does everything in the description. I wore it to work on a regular day. It wasn’t running up and down stairs or any of that but a lot of up and down and around the office. The pair always felt amazing and most of the day I forgot I was wearing underwear.
The sizing is always pretty standard with them. I rarely have an issues with missizing or things running small. You can always count on N2N having great sizing across all lines. If you are a large in one line you are going to be a large in another. This is, I feel, one of their strengths. I received and XL and it was a little larger on me, I did go up in waist size but working on going smaller again.
This pair is a great pair for lounging around the house. Just super comfy and amazing. I can see many of you out there having your Sunday morning coffee and relaxing around the house, reading the paper or watching Netflix
Pros:
- Amazing material that is super soft
- Great pouch design
- True sizing
Cons:
- wish had more colors
- some guys may not like the looser fit.
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 9
- Sizing – 10
- Materials – 10
- Styling – 9
- Daily Performance – 9
- Overal – 9.4
