Andrew Christian is proud to announce the release of their newest video, “Twerk Off”, a celebration of one of the world’s most popular dance trends, as well as their newest “Trophy Boy” collection.
With the addition of the term into the Oxford English Dictionary, the dance trend of “twerking” has reached an unprecedented level of notoriety. In recent months, twerking (defined as ” thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance”) has taken the internet by storm, with both men and women the world over bending over and showcasing their skills. It later made its way into mainstream music, with pop stars’ attempting to rival these web videos with varying levels of success.
The boys of Andrew Christian have already developed a reputation for delivering some of the steamiest viral videos on the web. Their newest “Trophy Boy” collection is a new line of men’s underwear designed specifically for those with a larger-than-life endowment. Trophy Boy underwear does more than just support these massive manhoods, it showcases them for the world to see and appreciate.
Many of the Andrew Christian models, including popular faces like Jon Varak, Jeffrey Hawkins, Jonathan Meyers, and Parker Dailey, have been fans of twerking since the beginning. So when it came time to celebrate the Trophy Boy collection on video, it seemed only appropriate for twerking to be involved. Both the dance and the underwear are designed to showcase the guys’ more desirable assets, and “Twerk Off” celebrates that fact the way that only Andrew Christian can.
The video is available to watch NOW at AndrewChristian.com. In less than 24 hours, the video has already accumulated almost 30,000 hits. Fans of the video can shop the Trophy Boy collection in stores or online.

A few months back, I told you about an awesome brand I discovered called PACT. In that post I mentioned that I found the brand through a flash sale website called Gilt.com. What is a flash sale site, you may ask? Basically, they are websites that offer great deals that only last for a limited time. Oftentimes they also only offer a limited stock of each item in each size.
That might sound a little disappointing, but in my experience sites like Gilt are a great way to get the underwear at huge discounts. Most of the time you’ll see styles at discounts that range between 30 and 60 percent.
There are a bunch of these sites out there, but the two I’ve found to be the most helpful are Gilt and JackThreads. On both, you’ll tend to see the bigger names, designer brands like 2xist, Diesel, Calvin Klein, etc., but Gilt often features more specialty brands like PACT or Mosmann (an awesome brand from Australia).
A few of tips to keep in mind when you’re using these sites:
- Use the wait list feature–these sites try to make you think that things will become unavailable fast. They do sometimes, but sometimes they don’t. You can add stuff to your wait list and see if it’s still available later. If a particular item becomes unavailable, the site will send you an email if it does become available again.
- Keep an eye on those emails–yes constant email communications from brands can be irritating, but they key to these sites is getting things quick and the emails will let you know when you’re favorite brands are aviaible or will be shortly
- Check out the mobile app–I’ve found especially with Gilt, you’ll often get special mobile sale that’s “just for you” and will be customized to the things you buy, look at or wait list the most, i.e. underwear
Have you used a site like Gilt before? What was your experience? Tell us about in the comments!

Today’s Brief Distraction is a great picture from Manus Swimwear. They are a great new company! We ran a review earlier this year and will be bringing you more of them this year!
We need a hero. A hero that is a champion for men’s underwear. We are at a point where men’s underwear is going mainstream. Meaning over the last few years more guys gay and straight have been paying attention to underwear. Heck, we have more underwear companies then anytime I can remember in the history of underwear.
When I say we need a champion, I mean we need a spokes model for men’s underwear. A famous athlete, actor or entertainer that will step up and show the public that great men’s underwear is here to stay.
In the 70s and 80s we had Jim Palmer sporting Jockey bikinis in mainstream magazines. They used to run in People and I think Newsweek. For those of you not familiar with Mr. Palmer, he was a Major League Baseball star with Midwest all American looks. Having such a sports star in an underwear ad gave men’s underwear a sort of legitimacy and not put on some back page ads.
Flash-forward about 10 years and we have Marky Mark aka Mark Walberg in Calvin Klein boxer briefs. The newest hybrid style of the day. This ad was even featured in Times Square in NYC. This was the last time we had a major market campaign featuring a celebrity. It’s time for a new underwear hero
This came about due to a conversation I had with @ undieluvr on twitter. Her suggested that Underarmour create a sports thong and have an athlete promote it. It got me thinking that we need this for all undies. It’s time to bring great undies to the masses. Showing a major celebrity in them will only do this.
We currently have stars promoting underwear. The ones stars are David Beckham, Mario Lopez and Tim Tebow.
- David Beckham is no stranger to promoting underwear. He’s done several shoots for Armani before he started his own line at H&M. His line is called David Beckham Bodywear and is available exclusively at H&M Retailers. Also this was one of the first men’s underwear Super Bowl commercials.
- Mario has endorsed his own line Rated M. The line has been out a few years. Unlike David Beckham’s line, Rated M is available at many online and brick and mortar retailers. It has been around for about two years.
- Tim Tebow was the spokes person for Jockey. He was to be the new Jim Palmer, but he was never photographed in the Underwear. This was brought up to Jockey and they said they were fine with him not wearing the underwear in ads. His announcement had the most comments on our Facebook page.
We need to have a guy come out of the underwear closet and say that they LOVE underwear. It doesn’t matter if he’s a sports star, Movie star or entertainer.
It makes me think who would be the perfect guy for the job. It would need to be someone mainstream to catch the attention of the general public and making them consider buying great undies. Some suggestions would be
- Singer – Adam Levine – Lead Singer for Maroon5. He’s no stranger to getting naked and showing skin
- Athlete – Eli Manning – The QB for the NY Giants. He’s got the wholesome look of Jim Palmer and a personality that could be great on camera
- Actor – Matt Bomer – He’s been in Magic Mike so he’s been seen in underwear on film. He wore a thong in Magic Mike
- Athlete – Michael Phelps – The Olympic gold medalist swimmer. He’s been seen in Speedos for millions on TV and is comfortable in them
- Athlete – Colin Kaepernick – The Super Bowl QB for the San Francisco 49’ers who just appeared nude in the ESPN Magazine body issue.
These are just a few suggestions. I would love to hear who you guys think we should have as our Underwear Spokesman? Who has the body and the personality to speak the virtues of men’s undies?
We bring you another picture from the monthly selection from Underwear Nation. This month the company they chose was PUMP! Underwear and the Touchdown Sky Brief

Color to me is one of the most important things in underwear. It allows us to show our personality, even when we have to wear a uniform or suit to work. It adds a personal level to the underwear we wear. We know this because we have heard from you guys that you wear your navy suit to work and a pink jock or purple brief under your suit pants.
Are there any colors off limits in men’s underwear? We may have our own personal limits but companies make underwear in every color of the rainbow. We thought we would share 5 pairs with great color on the market now!

BRIEF will debut in Charlotte’s Historic South End Neighborhood on Wednesday, September 4th. BRIEF, a men’s underwear, swimwear and loungewear store will redefine how men shop and look in all things intimate, active and leisure.
Dan Mauney, or Dan the Shoe Man – known by many in the area, is the owner and merchandiser for this unique new concept. . With over two years in the planning, Mauney chose South End after canvasing most of the neighborhoods in Charlotte. When asked why South End, Mauney replied, “South End is the future of Charlotte. The vibe, the energy, the convenience and the people brought me here. I found the 8,200 square feet space (which BRIEF will occupy at 1,000 square feet) early on and kept returning to it. It’s perfect. The neighborhood is right!”
Heralding from a successful charity fashion show produced by Mauney, BRIEF, a brick and mortar store, will redefine men’s underwear/swimwear. The shopper will delve into the world of the best designers including internationally known brands such as Calvin Klein, TommyJohn, Diesel, SAXX Underwear, 2Xist, C-IN2, Parke & Ronen, Baskitwear, Andrew Christian, N2N Bodywear, Speedo, Hugo Boss, Gregg Homme, 2Eros, Whittall and Shon, Hanro among many others. The collections of swimwear will offer everything from racers, square cuts to traditional board shorts. Finally, loungewear will include everything from leisure, weekend casual, athletic, yoga wear and robes. Mauney adds, “With our loungewear, we want to be your go-to source from everything from workout gear to simply lounging around the home.”
BRIEF became a reality after several long-term partnerships were reunited. John Fryday of Fryday & Doyne was the architect for the new store. Mauney and Fryday began a professional relationship over twelve years ago when Fryday was selected as the architect for STEP, one of Mauney’s first stores in Charlotte. He designed two additional renovations for Sloan and STEP. Along with that twelve-year-relationship, Dan met contractor, Bjorn Greene of Concept Building and Restoration. After the trio joined forces and included custom cabinet maker, Dana Whisnant of Diversified Cabinetry, BRIEF is ready to make its debut!
The new location will also be the future home of SHU, a 4.000 square feeet ladies shoe, handbag, jewelry and accessory store, slated to open the beginning of October. Plans include adding men’s shoes by Spring, 2014. Additionally, FLēX, will be a 3,000+ event space utilized for in-house trunk shows, fashion shows, shopping events and outside parties and events. Next week, ‘Say I DO” Transformation Series, a 10-week program including bootcamps, yoga classes and nutritional guidance will christen the space. The series will feature Petro Martynyuk Fitness + Wellness and will be sponsored by SHU and BRIEF.
The new men’s store will operate under the following hours: Monday-Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-5. The E-commerce site, designed by Civil Buffalo, will be live by the week of September 15th . For more information, please visit www.shopbrief.com to join the company email list and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Today’s Brief Distraction features the new selection of the month from Underwear Nation. This month’s brand they selected is PUMP! Underwear. Find them at http://www.underwearnation.com
Have you ever wanted a pair of swimwear that very few people will have, a pair that is different and unique? If you have there is a new swimwear company I think you guys should know about. It’s called Aronik. They haven’t launched yet but they are taking per-orders for their end of September release.
The one thing you will notice is the bee theme they have in the collection. The Aronik logo is a bee and several of their pairs either have bees on them or honeycomb prints. It’s definitely a different look that is quite fun. If you are not a fan of prints they do have a few solids. One of the solid pairs is on the cover of DNA magazine! So they will definitely be a company to watch coming this next year
Things you should know about Aronik:
- Line is launching at the End of September
- Pre-orders are currently being taken on all suits
- Prices range from $82 – $92
- Sizing is as follows:
- S: 28–30 in. waist
- M: 30–32 in. waist
- L: 32-34 in. waist
- Only Swim Briefs with initial relase
I love to see creativity out of an swimwear company. To find them go to http://aronikswim.com/
