Are you ready for the new deal this week?  This week’s great deal is for the Action Cool Sawed off Brief. This brief is made from mesh that makes it breathable through out the day. They have a very unique design and are really fun. Check them out at this great price before they are gone!

To get the deal make sure you go to the Baskit Site and go under specials!

One thing that you’ll soon discover about me is that I have a twisted, unexplainable, quirky sense of humor.  Needless to say, when my second opportunity to review a new pair of undies arrived, Tribe generated a lot of initial thoughts.  The mere word conjures up the idea of intrusive missionaries who have been captured and tied to stakes, engulfed in flames while surrounded by half-naked pigmies protecting their tribe.  Therefore, I had high expectations that this kelly green pair of Tribe boxer briefs would live up to the wild and uninhibited image the company’s name conveys.

Let me start by saying that these are the most comfortable and light-weight boxer briefs I’ve sported in quite some time.  Their first test run included wearing them at work all day and then to the gym in the afternoon.  Throughout the day, I couldn’t believe the amazingly cool and comfy feelings this pair offered while still holding its shape.  The waistband and elastic around the legs stayed in place despite the extremely soft and diverse blend of fabrics, including 94% polyester, 6%elastane, and 100% modal lining

This Modal / Polyester pair falls within Tribe’s Short Boxer line and it’s perfect for the active guy as these are designed to hold you in all the right places.  Per the Australian based company, this blend is ideal for the gym as it has 50% more moisture regain and air flow than cotton.  Modal will not pill, is anti-crease, and will retain its brilliant color.  Some noticeable detailing includes the Tribe logo that is front and centered at the top of the waistband.  Double stitching runs around the entire waist and down the center of the pouch in addition to around the bottom of each leg lending to a well balanced and symmetrical esthetic.

While I don’t care to join those missionaries back at the camp anytime soon, I do feel my inner tribal instincts surface every time I slip into these well fitting, sporty boxer briefs.

So I was wondering what the different styles of underwear are and did some research and discovered the following on Wikipedia.  Now, I know that Wiki is only as good as the information provided but this was very helpful.  I hope this helps clarify things for you if you didn’t know what was what.

Bikini Underwear

Usually worn with the waistband lower than the wearer’s waist, and often at the hips, with the leg bands ending at the groin. Men’s bikini briefs normally have no fly.

  • High-sided bikini underwear
  • Low-sided bikini underwear
  • String bikini – consists of two triangular pieces connected at the groin but not at the sides, with a thin “string” around the waist connecting the pieces.

G-String

A type of thong consisting of a narrow piece of material that covers or holds the genitals, passes between the buttocks, and is attached to a band around the hips.

Tonga

A type of thong which has no material around the sides other than the waistband.

Thong

Has a narrow strip of material along the center of the garment’s rear which sits between the wearer’s buttocks and connects the front or pouch to the waistband behind the wearer. Thongs are sometimes worn to reduce “panty lines” when wearing tightly-fitting trousers.

Boxer Briefs (Trunks)

These are similar in style to boxer shorts, but are generally shorter and form-fitting like briefs.

  • Athletic-style boxer briefs – similar to cycling shorts, these are skin-tight and usually have no fly.
  • Pouch boxer briefs – these have a pouch for the genitals instead of a fly.

Boxers

These have an elasticized waistband that is at or near the wearer’s waist, while the leg sections are fairly loose and extend to the mid-thigh. There is usually a fly, either with or without buttons. The waistbands of boxer shorts are usually wider than those of briefs, and often bear the brand name of the manufacturer.

Boxer shorts with colorful patterns, pictures of cartoon characters, sports team logos and slogans are readily available.

  • Knit boxers
  • Woven boxers

Briefs

These have an elasticized waistband at or near the wearer’s waist, and leg sections that end at or near the groin.

  • traditional briefs – these have a Y-shaped fly.
  • Diagonal-flap briefs.
  • Double-seat or double-back briefs.
  • Low-cut or low-rise briefs
  • Pouch briefs.

Jockstrap

Consists of an elastic waistband with a support pouch for the genitalia and two elastic straps affixed to the base of the pouch and to the left and right sides of the waistband at the hip. In some varieties, the pouch may be fitted with a pocket to hold an impact-resistant cup to protect the genitals from injury.

  • Strapless pouch – consists of a support pouch for the genitals and a waistband, with no securing straps.

When Tim provided me my first pair of underwear to review for UNB, I was excited and yet a little surprised when he handed me some lime green (chartreuse) 2wink briefs.  The Australian manufacturer has cleverly selected the appropriate color for spring, which caught my eye and peaked my interested.  While I’m not traditionally a fan of briefs, I wanted to give them a fair chance and see if briefs would be something I might consider again in adding to my collection.

After throwing them in the wash for an initial cleaning, I immediately threw them on and was amazed at how well these medium size undies fit and truly how you can’t deny the comfort of a 100% cotton brief.  I was initially concerned that the brief might be a little binding and restricted so I decided to take them out on test run by wearing then all day during a photography field trip.  Suffice to say,  I was extremely pleased and amazed at how well they held up throughout the day with all the bending, squatting and physical movement that the pair endured.  The second and third time I wore these pair, I chose to try them out at the gym.  Again, they consistently held up throughout my workout and didn’t even become a realization that I was even wearing briefs.  Bottom line, at the end of my rigorous testing, I wasn’t able to distinguish between these briefs and the traditional boxer briefs that I normally gravitate towards.

Some of the constructional attributes that I noticed include the following: The legs in the briefs are cut a little on the high side but are sure to accentuate a pair of muscular legs.  The white waist band is constructed and sewn well around the waist and has retained its elasticity after several washes.  In my opinion, there’s nothing worse than a cheap waistband that falls apart at the seams, stretches out and losses its supportability.  The company’s 2wink logo is embroidered continually around the waist band in dark gray lettering.  One esthetic note includes the word ‘Loaded’ printed in white just below the waist band on the left hand side of the brief along the hip, which leaves open to interpretation.

Personal scoring as follows:

Fit: 4.0
Materials: 3.5
Construction: 4.0
Look: 3.0
Daily Wear: 4.0
Overall: 3.7

I have been a facebook fan of Tribe for sometime now.  When I was given the awesome privilege to review Tribe’s Printed Mesh Trunk, I jumped on it.  I am so happy I did.  They are a super comfortable, black, white, and lime green sheer trunk.  Anyone who has followed UNB for any length of time probably knows I love sheer undies, that is, as long as I am able to have the support and I am able to show off for my wife at the same time.

I love the design of the fabric.  It gives coverage and style.  The pattern is fun and has a splash of color that gives it an extra punch.  There was no binding and no riding…simply pure comfort from the time I put them on in the morning until I took them off that evening.

These undies are stylish, comfortable, breathable, and made of soft, stretchy mesh material.  The front pouch is lined with 100% Natural Modal for extra comfort.  It seems that Australia really knows how to produce underwear and here is additional proof!

Thank you, Tribe, for sending these awesome trunks for us to try.  I really enjoyed them.
