Review — Baskit just /b/ Brief

No Comments

If I was excited to try to the PPU Boxers I reviewed last month, I was thrilled to try out the Baskit just /b/ briefs from the moment they came in the mail. I once had a a Baskit jock that I absolutely loved, but it got lost in a move and I never replaced it. I was eager to try something new from the brand, though to be honest, I wasn’t too sure about the high cut hips. The just /b/ brief is available in three color combinations: Black/Red, Bubblegum (read: pink)/Grey and Bright Blue (read: aqua)/Navy. Baskit also makes the same style in a low-rise trunk in the same three color combos. I tried the black/red brief.

My review day was slightly more active than my normal routine. I drove 45 minutes to work, went on a site visit about an hour-and-a-half away (so that’s total 4 hours in the car), was out in the hot sun for about two hours while on the site visit, did several hours of work in the office in the afternoon and evening and then went out with friends for several hours after that. I planned a less active day than that, but considering how long my day ended up being, the diversity of activities I was engaged in and how held well this pair held up, I think that they would be perfect for just about any kind of day.

I got a size small (S), and Baskit says guys with waists between 28 and 30 inches should feel comfortable with that. This pair fit like a glove, so I would suggest people get the size that Baskit recommends for them.

More than anything else, I loved the fit of this pair. It was absolutely perfect. I’ve worn several pairs of high-rise style briefs and none have fit quite right until these. They’ve always squeeze my butt a bit too much and seemed to sit oddly on my hips. I didn’t feel any of that with this pair. I also felt a lot of support with this pair, but not in a uncomfortable or constricting way. I haven’t found many pairs that accomplish that feat. Also, I really liked the material this pair was made of. Baskit says its 90% Micro Modal and %10 Elastane. I’m not quite sure that means, but whatever it is it works. The pair was soft and breathable against my skin at the same time.

I’d rate the design about average. The cut is great: sporty, slightly sexy and super comfortable. But I’m not a bit fan of the waistband, the wide stripes on the side or the red/black color combination. That being said, I really like the pictures I’ve seen of the pink/grey version. To sum up:

Pros:

  • The fit was amazing. There’s no comparison to any other high-rise brief I’ve tried
  • The material is both soft and breathable

Cons:

  • Not the biggest fan of the color selection
  • I’d take the tag off the waistband and maybe go with one of the other two color choices

And here are my ratings:

  • Daily Fit — 10
  • Sizing — 10
  • Construction/Materials — 10
  • Styling — 7
  • Daily Performance — 9
  • Overall — 9.2

This pair was furnished for review by Baskit.

Jockstrap Central – Pete has something for your pistol

No Comments

pistol-pete-millennium-intimo

Jockstrap Central just launched two new Pistol Pete jocks and they’ve got a hot new model to show them off. Here’s the details:

Millennium Jock Brief:

Typical of a jock brief, it’s got a brief style front and jock style back; made of a subtly see-through mesh that becomes more see-through with your bulge pushing up against the fabric, stretching those ventilation holes just large enough for a hint of what’s lies beneath. Trust us, those close by will insist on closer inspection.

Black contrasting elasticated piping improves the fit and adds a dash of style. Finally, this jock brief includes a 1.5 inch wide black ultra-soft waistband with subtle embossed repeating Pistol Pete logo.

Intimo Jockstrap:

Visually stunning, whether it’s the soft ribbed pouch with ribs running vertically defining every curve nook and cranny of your bulge or the two “eyes” formed where the top central part of the pouch meets the waistband exposing your pubes. Comfort is enhanced by the stretch of the rib and contour of the pouch design. Style is heightened by the contrasting elasticated fabric edging.

Of course it wouldn’t be a jockstrap without the leg straps – they’re soft one inch wide elastic to keep everything in place. Lastly, a one and a quarter inch soft elastic comfort waistband in white with navy blue and green centered stripe and front centered Pistol Pete logo woven into the design.”
Jockstrap Central’s latest model Farzad is pretty hot. He’s a Middle Eastern construction worker and puts the new Pistol Pete gear through a workout. See him all jocked out in high definition goodness exclusively at Jockstrap Central.”

Cocksox Day and Give Away!

No Comments

sins2013_main

I LOVE Cocksox, so when I heard it they were celebrating 7 years, I knew we had to do something special. The group behind Cocksox are some of the most amazing people. They have created some of the best undies, in my opinion, and now they are celebrating 7 Sinful Years!

“Seven sinful years! We’re not talking about a marriage, we’re talking about Cocksox®, the infamous underwear and swimwear brand from Australia.

“We started out with one red underwear brief listed on eBay, almost as a dare,” laughs Nadiah Christensen, Cocksox® Creative Director, “And now look, seven years later and Cocksox® are all over the world!”

The question arose, how to celebrate seven years of Cocksox®?

“Thinking back to our first product, the red underwear brief, which we called Diablo Red, or ‘devil red’ it was obvious… seven years, seven deadly sins! Perfect!” says Nadiah.

Subtle is not a word that’s used around the Cocksox® HQ very often, as the Seven Deadly Sins campaign shows.

“I wanted people to have a shocked grin on their face when they first see our Seven Deadly Sins images. I think we succeeded,” laughs Nadiah.

Seven Deadly Sins has a very different look from previous Cocksox® campaigns. Stark white backgrounds and eye popping visuals tell the tale of each of the sins. Sydney based photographer Elvis Di Fazio came on board to shoot models Rogan Richards and Steve Williams to create the fantastic, stylised sins for Cocksox®.

“Lust is my favourite image in our campaign, and not just because those are my lipstick kisses on Rogan!” laughs Nadiah.

“There’s Greed, Lust, Anger, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth. Something for everyone,” jokes Nigel Christensen, Cocksox® Marketing Director. “I can’t decide whether gluttony or sloth is my favourite. Ideally I’d combine the two.”

“We really want our customers to share the fun with us and choose their favourite sin, tell us on Facebook or Twitter, tell their friends. Email us, we love hearing from our customers,” says Nadiah.

To add to the celebrations, Cocksox® are releasing a strictly limited edition Gold Cocksox® brief, as featured in the ‘Greed’ image, and a new colour in the Wet Look range, Regent Red.

“You can’t show greed without gold so we had a custom gold Cocksox® brief made,“ explains Nadiah. “It looked so incredible on our model that we had to make them available for sale, even if there’s only strictly limited number of them. We’re calling them the Cocksox® Bling, of course!”

You’ll be seeing the Cocksox® Seven Deadly Sins campaign all over the web and in your favourite underwear stores. Keep an eye out for posters and post cards in your part of the world. And be sure to tell Cocksox® which is your favourite sin.”

End of an Era in Men’s Underwear – Bike #10 Jockstrap to be Discontinued

No Comments

peter-rex-bike-6

We got word today from Jockstrap Central that the classic jock, the one who started it all was being discontinued. This as we stated is the end of an era. This was the very first jockstrap I ever owned. It’s sad to see them going away. It’s one of those things you thought would be around for forever. Here is what we received from Jockstrap Central, it has bad and good news.

We knew it was going to happen eventually, but we’ve just heard officially that Bike #10 jockstraps are being discontinued world wide. As most of you know, Bike had discontinued them years ago for the North American market but we were still able to import them from Europe. Unfortunately, that’s coming to an end. We still have some stock and will try to buy up what’s left at the distributor, but you may want to snatch them up quickly before they’re gone for good.

However, it’s not all bad news, we’ve just heard that Bike is going to be making their modern jocks in colors. We haven’t seen them yet, but we’re excited about this news. Also good news is after being out of stock on the modern Bike jockstraps for a while, Bike was finally able to fill our order and we’re now pretty well stocked on modern Bike jockstraps.

Finally, if you missed last week’s newsletter, we have an amazing offer going on: We have a dozen styles of Baskit jockstraps and jock-briefs on clearance. All 12 styles are only $11.95 each. This a great deal for some pretty awesome high-quality, stylish fashion jocks.

Marcuse New Ultra Range

No Comments

Ultra boxer

Marcuse is going to release a new basic underwear line called ULTRA. As you can see by the pics, just because something says it’s basic doesn’t mean it’s boring.The new line will be available in black, white and grey. I can hear a few of you groan. I am admittedly not fan of most companies that use those three colors . However that said, I think the design is something that will win you over. When I first looked the pics over, I didn’t focus on color but the designs. It wasn’t till I read the email that I realized those were the only color choices.

Marcuse didn’t make them solid grey, black or white. They created a cool waistband that accents the color. One thing I really like is the Marcuse “R” is the same red that is used in the accent stitching. Also, they created a great pouch in the pair. You can tell they put a lot of work in this new line.

Ultra brief white C Ultra boxer B

So these are anything but boring. Marcuse has designed a classic and fun line. Its great to see a company take on a basic line and put their own spin on it. You will be able to find these at the Marcuse site this next week!
