Modus Vivendi Seaman Line_4Ok I couldn’t resist the title. It begged me to do it! But Modus Vivendi is a company that loves to have fun with their undies and naming the lines. This time it’s a bit more tongue in cheek!  This is one of the things I love about them. They have a great mix of fashion and fetish undies.

Here is what they told us of the line:

Modus Vivendi continues the Dreamland series of campaigns for its Summer 2014 collection and this time is taking you to a world of sailors with its Seaman Line (http://e-modusvivendi.com/gbu0-catshow/mc_seaman.html).

The background images into which the models blend are reproductions of paintings by Yannis Tsarouchis (1910-1989), who is one of the most highly regarded modern Greek painters. His extensive depiction of soldiers, sailors and other men, often curiously described as “vulnerable”, was controversial and some of his exhibits were taken down by censors. It was Tsarouchis who introduced the iconic sailor motive into modern Greek theater. From the content of his images we can also deduce that he was deeply interested in fabrics and clothing and, at one point, he even tried his hand at weaving.

This brand new line comprises evocative sailor-themed underwear, t-shirts, longsleeves and sleeveless tees. With references to sailor’s stripes, a range of luxury fabrics and a highly distinctive look these new clothes make a strong statement and offer supreme comfort. Sexy, innovative and bold these designs will get you looking your best down by the waves. ??

Modus Vivendi swimwear 2014

Modus Vivendi always creates super fun underwear and swim. The new collection has a denim look. As you can tell by the silver pair above! Styles that are in this collection are a boxer, brief and low cut brief. The styles are available in gold, silver and khaki.  My personal favorite is the Low Rise Brief, this is a true bikini and something we definitely need in swimwear.

I think this is definitely a fun collection. The metallic material is shiny but not over the top like some metallic fabrics can be! Being just released these should be at your favorite retailers soon or on the Modus Vivendi Site.

Modus Vivendi (http://www.e-modusvivendi.com) is proud to announce the release of its new swimwear collection 2014. Inspired by the eternal elements of the Greek summer, the collection embraces the gold of the sun, the silver flash of the sea and the deep, tranquil greens of the forests and mountains. Available in luminous gold, shiny silver and khaki, this first part of Modus Vivendi’s new swimwear is the perfect start to a dazzling summer – Greek style! 

The weird and the wonderful

It would appear that there’s a naughtier side to many underwear drawers across the pond. DGU have revealed that some of their shall we say… unconventional and off the wall designs are rapidly becoming even more popular with their UK shoppers. Whether this is about dress up or something a little more fetish, they certainly appear to be having fun.

Body Art Flerio Zipped Body Pant Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap Gregg Homme Impulse Top MANstore M306 Dog Band MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf MaleBasics Lingerie Tie Me Up Bodysuit

MaleBasics Lingerie Tie Me Up Bodysuit GBP41.00

This may not be what you first think of when you read “tie me up” but it will certainly make an impression. Combining a deep V-neck crop top with a sexy thong bottom that’s attached by a series of elasticated straps.

MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf

MANstore NOS M101 Kinky Scarf GBP32.00

It may not be a scarf in the conventional sense or have the ability to keep you warm but for some reason we don’t think that’s the point behind this. The “scarf” goes between your legs with a small thong back and up over your head in one strip of thin material.

MANstore M306 Dog Band

MANstore M306 Dog Band GBP29.00

They say that a dog is a man’s best friend. This bondage style neck decoration is made from a strip of lacquer effect fabric with three press studs and silvery chain.

Gregg Homme Impulse Top

Gregg Homme Impulse Top GBP157.96

Have you ever wanted to be a gladiator? Battling wild animals and fellow humans to the death in the Coliseum? Well this top can help you make believe. Soft material drapes over both shoulders to form an X shape at the front and back of the torso. Faux leather and silver look buckles complete this fetish style brilliantly.

Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap

Modus Vivendi Leather Chained Jockstrap GBP46.00

Break free from the shackles of society and chain yourself up in a much better way. It has metal chains that go around the waist and underneath the bum cheeks holding in place a twin layered leatherette pouch.

Body Art Flerio Zipped Body Pant

Body Art Flerio Zipped Pant Body GBP64.00

This leatherette onesie is given a raunchy feel with see through tulle panels down either side and a metallic zipper running up the centre. It’s a sexy twist to a classic look.

When we start a segment like Fetish Friday, we need to bring you some of the hottest and interesting underwear on the net. That is what we are doing for this pair. I figure that if we’re going fetish we need to go all out! That means break out the chains and leather…literally!

Modus Vivendi doesn’t think out side the box, they have created their own box that they design underwear. They have never shied away from leather, rubber or other fetish materials. To pick just one pair is a really hard task. But we settled on the 11013 Jockstrap because it’s just fun. How often do you see underwear featuring chains.

  • As you can tell this is not a jock you would wear for daily wear.
  • The jock straps are made out of adjustable steel chains
  • Leather look pouch is made out of an easier care fabric.
  • This is part of the Fisherman fetish line from Modus Videndi
  • Available for 54.90 Euros

Find this and the other fetish Fisherman line at the Modus Vivendi Site.

What Makes Great Date night pair of Underwear? One that will be remembered for future dates? We have a few suggestions on that. But the underwear depends on which date it is (first, thrid, or fifth) and the connection you have to the other person on the date with you.

Over the course of the blog fewer things have brought controversy like bringing up date night underwear. That is because to each guy “Date night underwear” means something different. Underwear is personal and date night underwear is even more so!

We decided to break down a few categories of date night underwear and have you guys tell us which pair you wear and why?

0001-X20320-41806pCKI1-11999785v275

Classic Underwear – We don’t mean the tighy whities that come in a six pack. Rather a brief/boxer brief that is no frills. It’s styling is simple but very comfortable.  One pair that would be good is the 2(X)ist Essential No-Show Brief or Trunk. Another pair is the Calvin Klein Bold Cotton Boxer simple with an off setting waistband.

980580-985-f PARIS

Colorful/Patterned – Colors are an expression of our personalities. On a date night there is a greater chance the underwear will be seen. I know in the past I have worn really fun/bright underwear when there is a chance things get busy. A great pair of colorful underwear is JOR Paris Brief. If you’re a boxer brief fan then you should look into the Papi Eye Candy Brazilian trunk.

copy_of_p1150_pure_jockbrief_f_super_white_1 c-in2_3326_white_f_grip_mens_underwear_jock_strap_fitness

Jockstraps/Jockbrief – Many of our readers wear jocks every day. They are no longer just for the locker room. Over the last few years companies have been putting their own spin on the jock. The C-IN2 Grip jock is the perfect example of a company taking the jock to the next level. If you’re not up to wearing a jock but want the coverage of a jock, the orignator of the  jock brief Baskit has the Pure Jockbrief.

0001-11011_black_l 110204-01-far-front

Erotic/Mesh – If you’re past the first date or out with your significant other maybe you want to show a bit more of your wild side. This could be either Mesh or something considered wild. If you want to show off everything with mesh then we suggest the Gregg Homme NoDoubt Thong Maximizer, It shows and enhances. If you don’t want to share it all but want to wear something you won’t find in your local department store, then we suggest Modus Vivendi 11011 Leather Look Brief with Zipper.

These are some examples of different types of underwear you can wear on a date night. You can go from mild to wild depending on the date! Let us know what pair you like to wear on your date.

I asked a few of the guys to share some of their favorite waistbands. So we have five of the UNB staff to share which brands waistband they love and a brief explanation why they love the pair. To me the waistband is something that can set off a pair of underwear. It can really add something to the overall design.

BDWMO-RED SIDE

McKillop Underwear Red Stripe – This is Alex’s favorite waistband. “It’s simple but still is something new and adds a pop of color.”

0001-X37122-00101

2(X)ist Speed Jockstrap  – This is T’s favorite waistband. “it’s fun and sassy and the waistband has intrigue, the color just says WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

V5-1235942-100_HTF

UnderArmour Cotton Charged Brief – This is UNBThong Guys favorite (and it’s not a thong!) “It stays in place. And its not some over thought waistband.”

02913_green_m

Modus Vivendi 02913 Zipper Jock – This is Shane’s Favorite waistband. “I love the way the waistband has the color of the body of the underwear, the detailing, the zipper, and the MV logo placed on the side. I love the color because it’s not the everyday colors we come to expect from underwear and it’s bright and summery.”

554

Timoteo Double Cross Collection – This is Tim’s favorite. “Timoteo has always had great waistbands. This one I love because the way the “T “and “O” both fit in the white line around the waistband and then the two “X”s on each hip. Just fun and sets the pair off. They pay attention to details and always top the previous collections”

 

Singlets were only worn by wrestlers in High School and College, but in the last year their popularity has taken off. I have loved them since the early 90’s. I have had a variety of singlets; some that official wrestling singlets, fetish singlets and ones that are just fun. You can wear them  under clothes as a tank (jeans or workout wear), for public viewing or where ever you’re bold enough to wear them!

Here is our selection of 5 of the newest, hottest Singlets for this year. Here they are in no particular order!

We all believe that underwear should be fun. If you read this blog have discovered the joys of underwear and will never go back to buying it at Wal-Mart in packages of six. The underwear you wear now is a brand name, one pair costs more then those six packs and you believe in quality over quantity. With that said, have you noticed a trend in the world of men’s underwear of more “fetish” underwear?

I’m not talking thongs or jock briefs. I’m talking underwear that is made to look like rubber, wilder cuts and barely there undies. It’s a trend we are seeing more and more. This is not limited to just the gay guys even straight guys are venturing into the fetish world. I think this is because guys want to feel sexy and don’t want the women to have all the fun in underwear. Guys want to show the wilder side of their personality. We have heard from guys in the past telling us what they wear under suits. Underwear is the one area you don’t have to be conservative; you can be as wild as you want.

We are going to start a series of profiles on companies in the fetish wear that we think you should check out.  However, in this one we are going to profile a few pairs we think you should check out.

kmandosportX

K’mando pouch – We had a review on this a few years ago and it’s been one of our more popular post of all time. As you can see by the picture it’s just a pouch that covers your goods. Would you even classify this as underwear?  Since it covers the goods we do! The pouch comes in a few colors and is supposed to fit any size guy. It’s not widely available but check the K’mando site for retail locations.

0001-11221-1_black_side_l

Modus Videndi Latex Bottmless Boxer – Modus Vivendi is one of those companies where what do you pick for a fetish post? They do have fun designing underwear and have a lot of fetish inspired pairs. However, this boxer is part of the new Fisherman line that is all latex inspirited line. The boxer has the back cut out, jock boxers are a whole new trend, and made in the Modus Vivendi silhouette with a drawstring waist. Modus Vivendi has so many fetish inspired styles that you should go check out the site for all of them.

6400515Z-Black-4

Gregg Homme Haze Single Brief – Gregg Homme, like Modus Vivendi, is one of those that does a lot of fetish inspired pairs. I have always said that Gregg Homme does fetish/sexy undies  where you get the best of both worlds, a sexy pair of undies and an amazing fit. Every pair of Gregg Homme I have owned has fit amazingly. The new line is out tomorrow there are some fun things coming but the Haze Single Brief is one that has the look of Latex/leather but easier to care for, because if you get a pair made out of either you know it’s not easy to wash. This pair has a buckle and key hole above the pouch.  It’ sexy and fun, but check out the entire Haze line, they even had a matching tank.

THE_COBRA_4aa7bd549c5ae

Slick It Up Cobra – If you aren’t familiar with Slick It Up, they are a fetish gear company. They make underwear, swim, spandex gear. The pair that has been getting attention lately is the Cobra. As you see in the picture it’s a pouch and a strap on the right side, not much more to it. This pair leaves little to the imagination. The Cobra is made out of black latex snake skin spandex print. Oh and we know what you are asking and here is what their site say “”Perfectly well!”- Thats the answer to the question you just asked of “But how does it stay on?!” It actually stays there perfectly fine hugging your junk comfortably,”

These are only a few pairs we have seen. Do you have a favorite fetish pair or company? Let us know we are going to profile some of these companies in this latest trend in men’s underwear!
