Style Brief Candyman Color Brief 99040

March 22, 2014 No Comments

The one thing I LOVE about Candyman is they are always pushing the envelope to make undies fun! They have done this with the new Color Brief with the cut away sides. Granted sometimes the undies are way over the top, this is the same company that brings us some of the fun and sometimes wild costume undies. Past ones have been Cowboy, Lumberjack, Super Hero and Vampire!

The Color brief is a bikini with two cut out sin the side. I’ll give it to them to do a cut out that is pretty fun. Sometimes I have seen cutouts that really were in odd places. This one creates a great silhouette that shows off accents a guys body. Meaning the cutout isn’t too big and is right place.

One thing I”m sorta on the fence with is the purple color. I love it when companies use non-traditional colors in undies. I love the black and florescent green! But, the purple is something I will have to see in person. Because one thing I have learned is you have to see undies in person rather than pictures. So until then reserve judgement but hats off for using a new color! I think more companies need to step outside the color box and try new colors. Gone are the days where we have “masculine” colors, I think the color palette is open, I mean if we can rock pink undies (and I have and love them), then anything or any color is possible !

Check out the front and back pictures and find this at a retailer near you. The line just launched yesterday so you may have to wait a few weeks for it to show up in stores!

Style Brief 2EROS Geomtric Icon Swimwear

March 21, 2014 No Comments

Swimwear season is about to go into high gear! 2EROS has gone into prints! They have released their Icon Swimwear in the first low rise design. The new Geometric print is one of the hottest.

I hear some of you our there saying “It’s ok but not what I love” Well, I suggest you get to a store and see this pair in person. It’s not super bright and won’t jump off the rack with a florescent color. When I met with Jason from 2EROS in Vegas, this pair really struck me. It’s very well done and looks amazing. I seriously was blown away! It is a perfect pair that will get you attention without saying “HEY LOOK AT ME” on the beach.

I”m really happy to see 2EROS growing and expanding into prints. This print is in black, red and tan that really works well together. I think Jason did some amazing prints that you don’t normally see in swimwear but after seeing them you go “Why didn’t we have this before!”. Well don’t worry that they have strayed far from their roots because they have resurrected the logo on the back, which you may recall from previous pairs they have released. If you don’t they have a logo that accents your assets!

One change many out there may like is a roomier pouch. The previous Icon swimwear had a smaller pouch so if you’re a guy like me who needs the extra space, this one maybe worth checking out!

This isn’t the only pair, they recently released the Tribe as well. It’s time we all check out prints and enjoy them. Because they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! Find this at the 2EROS website for $49.95 AUD.

Style Brief New PPU Skimpy 1417 Jockstrap

March 20, 2014 No Comments

I know we have plenty of fans of skimpy undies. No matter if you’re gay or straight we have heard each side loves something smaller. The new PPU line has the 1417 Jockstrap. Which is a new take on the classic jock!

The first thing you notice is the pouch. It’s way smaller and has two straps attaching it to the waistband. Which makes it even smaller! This pair is not for the guy who’s not willing to show it all off! Second, is the waistband. It’s available in two colors the Gold/Black and Pink/Grey. Both make a bold statement.

The back is the same as regular jocks but that’s the only thing that is like the original inspiration pair. It makes me wonder were would you wear this pair? I would say you probably wouldn’t wear it to the gym. We would suggest a date night or even a fun night out.

These have just been released and will be in stores soon. What do you think of the new jock from PPU?

In Aussiebum

Style Brief aussieBum Body Wrap

March 15, 2014 No Comments

Shapewear is still something that is a growing market in the world of men’s underwear. We have a few brands doing it, most notably Spanx. Which I have reviewed many of those! The one thing about most shapewear on the men’s market is its super expensive. The Spanx shirts, which I think are great, are about $60 a shirt or more. Granted that’s a lot of money to spend.

Then enter aussieBum in the shapewear market. They created the Body Wrap. Which is a compression fit fabric that is more of a body suit rather than a shirt or underwear. It’s basically more like a singlet. The aB site says “The aussieBum ‘BODY WRAP’ is designed to make you look and feel great. Utilising the latest in compression fit fabric technologies to give you that slim rock-hard look without the hours at the gym.”

I think this is an important to cover. I think over the next few years we’ll see a lot more shapewear for men. To me this pair is cool because it looks easier to put on. I hear many of you going. HUH? If you have tried shapewear shirts sometimes you have to wrestle to get in them. I mean one time it took me over 10 minutes to put on a shirt. Why you may ask? Well the shirt gets rolled up on it self when you try to put it on. Its hard to put on if you’re just out of the shower. Sometimes you say to hell with it! This pair if you put on line a singlet you won’t have to wrestle with your clothes to put them on.

Also the design of these are pretty cool. From the picture it looks like they paid attention to creating zones where you have support, such as the pouch, around the check and waist. It would be incredibly bad if it lost shape in any of these areas. It should be tight around you to give you the bodyshaping you are after.

The pair is available at aussieBum site for just $45. It is also available in black and white. This is an amazing price if you’re looking for something to give you a little extra shape!

In Concupisco

Style Brief Geronimo 1358s2 Brief

March 8, 2014 No Comments

This week I have been having some conversations with some readers and new guys we have coming on the site. We seem to always talk about bikinis. I am a big fan of them and have been since I was a teenager. One of the very first pairs I bought were bikinis. Reasons I like them is they usually have a great pouch and higher cut sides.

One brand that I have seen and want to try is Geronimo. The 1358s2 has a bikini cut with specially designed pouch. You can see that in the pic the pouch has a circular seam over the top of the pouch. Which gives it a really cool look. It makes me curious as to how the pouch fits. The material Polymide/lycra blend! I really want to try this pair.
It’s a classic bikini cut which really interests me. Over the last few years this style has not been but in a few brands. Each year briefs are making a come back and more and more guys are wearing them. I think it will be only a matter of time before bikinis are big on the market again.

The only place I have seen this pair is at Concupisco. They are out of the UK and this pair retails for £20.99 and available in blue, yellow and white.

In C-IN2

Style Brief C-IN2 New Scruff Line

March 7, 2014 No Comments

Were you a fan of the Filthy Collection from C-IN2? Well that collection has been retired and is getting replaced by the Scruff collection. When I sat down with them this past August they told me about this line. The Filthy line was one that was very labor intensive. The filth layer, as we call lit, the black dye was put on the material by hand. So there was no easy way to make the pairs. Granted, it was a really fun line and was a popular line but the new line is a take on the same dirty look but a little less dirt on them.

The new line is just as it sounds, scruffy! The fabric looks like it’s been a little scruffed up rather then filthy. I really like the technique this causes. It’s a slight discoloration of the fabric especially around the seams. It’s not as harsh as the filthy. So if you maybe thought that was a little too much for you, then you need to check out the Scruff line.

The line constructed out of cotton elastine mix and available in three colors. Those colors are Blazer (blue), Repper (greyish) and Rio Red. I love the names that C-IN2 comes up with for colors. They have the usual styles: jock, Lo No Show Brief, Punt, Lo No Show Army Trunk, Tank, V-Neck and Crew Neck T. The prices range from $24-38.

Find these and more at the C-IN2 Website

Style Brief Go Wild with Pikante’s Go Go Brief

March 6, 2014 No Comments

Are you a fan of something fun and metallic? The new Go Go Brief (8647) from Pikante is the perfect pair for you. This collection from Pikante is definitely a walk on the wild side. It’s so wild we can’t promote much on Facebook. I know many of our readers will love the collection. I know for a fact we have a few straight readers who will go crazy over some of these pairs!

The Go Go Brief is available in three metallic fabrics; Gold, Silver and Black. Each one has a snap off pouch. Which allows you easy access for those times when you want to have some fun. We know there are some out there who would never wear undies like this but for a whole set of guys this is fun and something exciting.

The back of this pair has a mesh panel at the top. It’s not a super see through mesh and doesn’t cover the entire back. Its only about the top third of the back. Gives you just enough of a peek. It also has similar snaps that you see on the pouch. It’s a lot of fun.

You maybe asking, “Would you wear this pair?” Honestly, I would give it a try. I think we all need to push ourselves and try something new. My biggest concern would be the pouch. Would it hold through the day? The material is a Polyester/Spandex blend so it should hold you in place and feel good.

If you’re up for something fun then definitely check this pair out. If you want something wilder, this new collection has even more you will like! These should be rolling out to retailers as we speak!

In Mundo Unico

Style Brief Mundo Unico Condor Short Boxer

March 4, 2014 No Comments

Tis the season for new undies! As we go through the next few weeks more and more undies will be released. While in Vegas I got to meet with Mundo Unico. Which happens to be one of my favorite brands of underwear. It was one of the first brands I bought back in the early 2000s.

I’m beginning to branch out into patterns. However I’m still not one for funky wild patterns. This I would say boarders on the funky and wild but there is something about the condor print that I just love. I think the first thing is it’s in my favorite color, green! More and more companies are making green undies! Which suits me just fine!

When I first saw the pair I thought it was eagles but its actually condors! It makes a great print. I don’t know why this pair just makes me smile. Made from a nylon/spandex blend it will move with you and has the amazing Mundo Unico pouch.

You can find this pair at the Mundo Unico site for $28. It also comes in two other colors, blue and orange. Also comes in a mid length boxer.

In Clever Underwear

Style Brief Clever 2195 Punch Boxer

March 3, 2014 No Comments

One thing I LOVE in underwear is when you mix underwear with something else. Meaning if you mix underwear and swimwear design or sports wear. Something about it just really resonates with me and I love it. I’m from the school underwear should be fun and you should always try to find something outside the box! This type of undies just make me feel super sexy!

Clever has done that with the new Punch Boxer. Now, I’m not usually a fan of boxers briefs but I love the waistband with the board short type lace up in the front. It has the solid black waistband with the white stripes on the side and wide white waistband. Above the pouch is open just below the laces. It makes it super sexy!

Like I said these could be a mix of swim or work out wear. I really think this one is really fun. It’s also available in grey/light blue but prefer the black and white over it. Clever says it’s more inspired by boxing, I can see that

This is a pair I want to have in my collection. I know this line just came out and may not be out as of yet but retailers should be getting the new Clever!

In Alexander Cobb Underwear

Style Brief Alexander Cobb Underwear

March 2, 2014 No Comments

Have you guys seen Alexander Cobb underwear? It’s a Scandinavian brand that has come to my attention this past month. You maybe asking who is this brand? Well they make underwear that fits like it’s your second skin. The perfect combination of materials and design – the ultimate blend of cotton and elastin in a range contemporary cuts in a number of limited edition prints.

Here is what their website says about them: “When you wear Alexander COBB for the first time, you will feel the difference. They perfectly to your body – and our waist bands in particular are of high quality hugging your waist line without lines or mark. And the our high quality materials mean that they will retain their shape over time.”

Prints are my new favorite thing in underwear. I’m branching out and fun prints are catching my attention. The one in the picture is the Koi print they have just released. You may ask why they chose the Koi design. ”

The symbol for Alexander COBB® is the Koi – Japanese for carp and homophone for affection or love. Koi represents love and friendship and is synonymous with different elements in the collection – colour, symbols, style and cut. It is also special that Alexander COBB® depicts koi through the art of tattoo – one of the most beautiful, most intriguing, and the boldest tattoos. Metaphorically, we believe the Alexander COBB® range will feel like tattoos, your second skin.” But one thing you should know is the underwear has a strawberry fragrance. The brief and trunks are 35 Euros and

I love what they are doing an think you guys should check them out. I haven’t seen them in the US but you can order directly from the Alexander Cobb Underwear website.

In 2(x)ist

Style Brief 2(X)ist Spring Print Collection

March 1, 2014 No Comments

2(X)ist is one of the oldest men’s fashion underwear companies on the market. You would think they could get set in their ways after almost 20 years on the market. However, that’s not the case. The print line is the perfect example of how they keep revamping this line for each season.

At Magic I always get to talk to Jason Scarlatti, the creative director, and he always out does himself. He’s one of my favorite people to meet up with. Each time when I think they have reached the limit on stripes and prints, he pulls another rabbit out of the hat! It just amazes me how they create new and fun prints. Jason has an eye for what’s coming and going to be big in the world of men’s underwear.

This collection has three new prints. The first is my favorite. The Digi print.

The print is just as the name suggests. It’s digital inspired. I have seen some camo prints in and out of underwear in a similar style. Which I really like this, and it sorta reminds me of camo but is not in the traditional camo colors. The bright blue they use in each style sets them out of the camo sphere.

Stripes
I Love how 2(X)ist mixes colors in their stripes. Granted I”m not a fan of super crazy stripes but these mix a great color pallet. It’s mixing colors I wouldn’t think of mixing to create a great pattern

Wave Print
The Wave print is more of a chevron style print. Its the most subdued print of the bunch but still very colorful and fun. The part I love the most are the matching waistbands. Each series in this has a matching or complimenting waistband. The Wave is one that has a 2(X)ist color matching band that sets it off very well!

Rugby Strip
Last is the Rugby Stripe. This stripe is not one I would thing in men’s underwear. With underwear being so small I wouldn’t think of using a wide stripe. It would seem to get lost and only a few big stripes. However, with the stripe and the contour pouch it really has a nice design. I think the pouch is the part that makes me like design so much. The stripes accent what you have and the way they make a chevron. The V in the front just shows off what you have

I hope you guys check out the collection and let us know what you think! These briefs are available for $18 at the 2(X)ist website. They are also available in trunks as well!

In Andrew Christian

Style Brief Andrew Christian Show-it Jock Thong

February 27, 2014 No Comments

I got a chance to meet up with Andrew Christian at Vegas. Like years past, they have an amazing amount of underwear coming out. It still amazes me how much they produce in one year. It’s usually one new thing a week.

One of the newest is the Show-it Jock Thong. You maybe going, wait Jock and Thong? Yes it’s a hybrid of a jock with an extra thong strap in the back. This hybrid has been around for a while but still is not one that is mainstream. Ever since the jock brief success in the men’s underwear market, combinations of different pairs have taken off.

This pair is made with the Show-it Technology. Which will take what you have and enhance it in the pouch. So if you’re not a fan of enhancing undies this may not be for you. This proves that enhancing underwear isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

The Show-it tech has been a staple in the Andrew Christina line up. It’s been one of the longest lines in his collection. That and the Flashback were some of the first lines I remember them creating.

The thing I like about this pair is the way the undies really accent want you have in the front and back. The pouch has the elastic above the pouch extend down a bit. it’s a nice look I think! Where as the back has trim that accents your assets in the back. It just frames you nicely in the front and back!

If you’re up for trying something new then we suggest you check this par out. It’s not your every day pair of underwear and wear it on a date and we guarantee you’ll get a look or two from your date after your pants come off

Available at the Andrew Christian site for $22.93

In 2(x)ist

Style Brief 2(X)ist Turbo Line

February 8, 2014 No Comments

2(X)ist has a new line out this week and it’s called Turbo! You may be asking why is it called Turbo? Well, I would say it’s because of the moisture wicking fabric. Lately there has been more of a trend to making underwear for sports and working out. More companies pay attention to how a guy uses their undies and what they are doing. You don’t want to go to the gym/run/be active in cotton underwear.

The fabric they are using is 89% Nylon/11% spandex blend. So it will move with you and take moisture away from your body. The second thing you will notice is the colors. They came out with some amazingly bright colors. They include blue, black, red, yellow and white. Each as a contrasting color on the site.

Thats not all they have a new branded waistband with the 2(X)its logo on the left hip. It matches the color of the underwear. The styles available are the Jock, No-Show Trunk, No-Show Brief and a tank. They range from $26-34 at the 2(X)ist Website

In MaleBasics

Style Brief Male Basics Spot Collection

February 7, 2014 No Comments

Male Basics has a new collection called Spot. As you can see above its a mix of bright and classic colors. Some of the previous collections they have had ranged from the classic briefs to really wild lace underwear. This one is more on the classic side but still has a sexy spin..

One thing that strikes me is the Waistband. It comes in black and red branded waistbands. I love how the red pops with the white/black jock! The next thing that you may notice is it’s made out of sports mesh. So the pouch in the jock, and the side side of the brief and trunk is the sports mesh material.

From Male Basics :

In this collection, we are highlighting the male anatomy by using contrast colors and shaping the pouch and the rear in a different way.

The body of the underwear was built using Yael (micro fiber), a premium quality fabric with a close-to-wearing-nothing feeling. This collection is bringing the spotlight back to the body parts that matter!

The Jockstrap is made out of Yael, giving it an extra sensual component but keeping it very masculine and sporty. It has contrast straps on the rear for a more sophisticated effect.

I really like this collection. Sports mesh is currently a big trend in men’s underwear. Male Basics has put its own spin on the collection. They made the line fun and sexy but not over the top. The one thing you should notice is the jock pouch is semi-sheer. The brief and trunk both have a solid pouch.

These have now been released and find them at the Male Basics site! See the pics below of the entire line

In Aussiebum

Style Brief aussieBum Riot

February 5, 2014 No Comments

Let’s face it, we all want underwear that is super sexy. That’s part of the reason we really want to buy underwear. If it doesn’t feel sexy then why bother right? The newest range from aussieBum is the Riot line. First thing you notice is the color. The bright blue trim and waistband offset the white sports mesh material.

The next thing you notice is the cut outs. There are two cut outs, the first is over the pouch and the second is in the back (well in the brief), the jock is of course open but has the same front as the brief. Last thing you may notice in the pics is the material. It’s a white sports mesh! Which leads me to wonder if you use this to work out will it become see through? This maybe a sticking point to some and a selling point to others!

aussieBum has never been a stranger to hot undies. They released the new Rugby shorts a while back and now are entering a more sports market. Granted I don’t know if we’ll see these at the gym but they would be great for working out, activities and a great date! The brief is around $25 and the jock is $23 at the aussieBum site.

In Jack Adams Underwear

Style Brief Jack Adams BodyFlex Mesh Army Fly Jock Brief

February 3, 2014 No Comments

First its awesome to see Jack Adams using model Alex Misnky. We interviewed him this past year and think he’s an amazing guy. We hope to see much more of him in the underwear market! It’s been a while since we covered Jack Adams and I think we have mentioned this pair but need really did a post on it!

Jack Adams has a really great style. The use of the colors and trim contrasts is something they really excel at, also the design. I think their designs are ones that accent a guys body. The lines of the trim really highlight areas you want to show off. Jack Adams has their own take and style for men’s underwear.

The title may confuse you but it’s a jock brief. Made our of really breathable material (78% Nylon; 22% Spandex) and in several color combinations. Each combination has the signature dip in the front of the pouch. These would be great for working out or another sporting activity.

They are available at the Jack Adams site for $26.00

In Navy Diver Underwear

Style Brief Navy Diver Ahoy Sailor Aquarius

January 20, 2014 No Comments

Its the start of the underwear season! Well that’s what I call it, at the end of every January and start of February a lot of the new lines start to be released. Aussie Brand Navy Diver has released a new style, called the Ahoy Sailor Aquarius.

The first thing you notice is the really bright/fun Aqua color. The brief is made with a great aqua waistband and horizontal striped fabric. Fabric is made out of a Polyester + cotton + elastine blendThe colors are fun. Which to me one of the main factors in picking underwear is the fun factor. Colors and patterns are very important to me. Granted it’s not the most important but it weighs heavily in my buying decision.

The next feature is the unique button pouch. There are three buttons as you can see, it adds something very fun an nautical to the design, hence living up to the Navy Diver name. Retails for $35.90 at the Navy Diver site. I have seen these in US stores and online but can’t recall off the top of my head where to get them, but do some searching and you can find them. You can just get them from the Navy Diver Site.

Style Brief Bakhou by Sigry

January 16, 2014 No Comments

I have been on a tear to find you guys new brands world wide. I have done a few and we will do a lot more in the future! I found Bakhou this week, they are out of Argentina. Usually a lot of brands out of South America can be skimpy and for a guy who’s pretty bold. Bakhou has a more classic styling in it’s underwear.

That means they have very classic cut silhouettes to their briefs and boxer briefs. They aren’t too skimpy but they aren’t plain either. You can get the classic white pairs but they aren’t afraid to use great patterns. The patterns range form black/white to bright and vivid colors. They make a great contrast to the classic pairs.

The waistbands really stick out to me. One of my biggest gripes is that a company uses the same waistband on every pair they do. I like a little of variety. They have several different branded waistbands from one that is sporty, a nice branded one and one I call a funky one! They score points in my book because they match the color of the pair with the waistband. It just sets a nice pair of underwear off.

If you’re looking for a bikini, jock or thong then Bakhou is not for you. They are a more classic over funky design. I think they have a great collection full of briefs and boxer briefs. I’m sure they would have a pair you would like. See more of the great pics below of the brand. But they have tons more at the Bakhou site!

Style Brief Park & Ronen Meridian Buckle Bikini

January 13, 2014 No Comments

Here at UNB we try to save you money at times but this post is not one of those. I know we have readers who has an unlimited budget for swimwear and underwear. The guy who buys premium underwear/swimwear want to have exclusive pairs that not many other people will be wearing. That’s why we are bringing you the Meridian Buckle Bikini.

If you’re not familiar with Parke & Ronen here is about them: Parke & Ronen is the product of two remarkable designers with an inspired vision for a unique fashion company. Preferring chic sensuality to glitz and gimmicks, Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel created Parke & Ronen. While always in touch with the latest trends, the Parke & Ronen customer does not fall victim to extreme looks. Refined details, quality fabrics, and exquisite fit are the hallmarks of the Parke & Ronen look, attracting clients who choose to dress simply yet look sensational.

The Meridian Buckle Bikini is very simple in it’s styling. There are not gadgets or other embellishments other then the buckle. I really like this pair. Made from a nylon/spandex tricot. I have seen previous pairs from them and it’s about on course for their pricing. So what is the price? its $105.

I hear a lot of you say, that’s a large price for a small swim brief. Like I said earlier, it’s not for those on a budget. But if you’re looking for something classic and a little more exclusive then check out Parke & Ronen

Style Brief PetitQ New Line

January 12, 2014 No Comments

We know there are many out there who love erotic wear. Its a big area of the men’s market. A brand that is becoming one of the premier erotic brands is PetitQ. We have covered them some and reviewed several pairs from their initial collection.

If you aren’t familiar with them, they out of France and have a very unique and erotic style. The two guys who run it are often seen on Vine, Tumblr and Twitter wearing the brand. They aren’t the only ones models Colby and Brandon have been in a video for the brand late last year. So you may have seen the brand and not known it!

First thing is this brand is not for the meek or the shy. It’s going to show off everything you have! They have pairs with cut outs, held on by friction and fun materials. So if you’re bold enough to wear it you will def get the attention of who you are with or showing it too! It reminds me of the line from the 80’s band Morris Day and Time “its only for the sexy people”

We are going to point out a few of their styles:

C-String – This pair is becoming quiet popular. It is all the rage in Europe and making its way to the US. The C-String is a pouch with a band that goes between your cheeks and held in place by friction. The boys made a video on how this stays on. They did jumping and such and it didn’t fall off! If you like minimal underwear this is perfect.

Long Johns – I will be the first to admit I don’t find long johns sexy. They are usually function over form. Recently more companies came out but none have put the spin on them that the PetitQ boys. These are very much form over function, not in a bad way thought. They are similar to chaps but have a pouch in the front with an open area and open in the back. They may keep your legs warm but have minimal coverage and easy access.

Bikini Pise – Have you ever wanted a bikini but with a smaller pouch? I didn’t think that was possible till now. The Bikini Pise has a full waistband and back but a sling pouch. That means its off to one side. It’s similar to their Lateral String pouch design. It’s a very interesting design that is just fun. It would be perfect for a bar night… depending on the bar!

PetitQ is the perfect brand for the guy who wants to show off but is not shy about it. It’s minimal and very body conscious. This is the kind of underwear that is made to show off. At some point in wearing it you will show it to someone. This is by no means the entire collection but these are three pairs I think you guys should see, go to the PetitQ and see more of the collection.

Style Brief 2EROS Core Boxer Shorts

January 10, 2014 No Comments

You know we don’t write much about boxers. Most of our guys really don’t like them. I learned a lesson don’t judge underwear by it’s cut. I got to review a great pair of boxers a while back. I occasionally wear them. Now one of the companies I love came out with a new line of boxers. 2EROS has released the Core Boxer Shorts.

2EROS makes amazing underwear so when they make boxers you can bet it will live up to the 2EROS standards. “The CORE BOXER is our first ever Boxer Shorts to be released. If you like short shorts then this Boxer will satisfy. Made with the same comfy fabric as the Core Underwear, this Boxer also provides an extra layer of protection. We have included a front cup lining to minimise the chance of exposing yourself. Available in 4 collectable colours.” This is what the website says

The fabric seems awesome. The Fabric: 67% Bamboo, 28% Cotton, 5% Spandex. Which will be super soft and stretchy. They are available in 4 colors: Blue, Red, Yellow and White.

Find these at the 2EROS website.

January 9, 2014 1 Comment

I know many of you know about Mack Weldon. They have been around for about a year. But for those of you who don’t know about there brand:

“There simply had to be a better way. The experience of buying underwear – from the pilgrimage to the department store, to the endless sea of ever-changing product – had to be fixed. A tattered mess of underwear and socks, and an ambitious goal to change the status quo, is why we created this brand.

Mack Weldon is about the fusion between old-school quality and modern day technology. During our brand creation, we discovered Weldon, an early 20th century undergarment and sleepwear company that stood for innovation in both marketing and product design – very similar to the brand we were creating. We embraced the name, flipped it a bit and made it ours.”

One thing I really like about their site is they have videos on the Underwear page. You see the guy wearing the underwear. This is the first time I remember seeing this. This isn’t a YouTube video, more of a flash video that starts playing as soon as the page loads. This is really cool. They also do this on the Undershirt page.

But they don’t sell just underwear. They have a really fun sock line. Socks have been taking off big time lately. Mack Weldon has really fun bright striped and polka dotted socks.

You may remember they were written up in the New York Times for the “Changes in the Underwear Market” article. They share the same philosophy we do here at UNB, show real guys in underwear. They use less abs and more real guys. I love to support a company that is trying to change the market for the masses.

Go check out the Mack Weldon current offerings. They are classic styled so if you’re looking for something wild, this is not the company for you. But if you would like that then they currently offer: Boxer Briefs, Boxers, Trunk, Brief, Undershirts, T-shirts and socks.

Style Brief – Paul Ferrer Underwear

January 7, 2014 No Comments

I made a result ion to bring you guys new undies and thats just what I”m doing. I was looking through Tumblr and saw a guy wearing “Paul Ferrer” and it was a brand I wasn’t familiar with. So, I Googled them and found they have a cool and fun line.

Paul Ferrer is a line based out of Columbia. Their website is in Spanish so I’m relying on Google Translate for translating so somethings, which does not translate correctly. The really bad translation says they strive to be a company that designers underwear for the traditional and modern man. Which I think it means they have great undies that are traditional (with the basic line) and those the modern guy will love (trendy line).

I think its awesome for a company to has a conservative side yet show personality in wilder colors and designs. If a brand is your favorite you can have more conservative pairs when needed and have more colorful and fun when it calls for as well. So you get the same fit in different situations.

The basic line has very basic colors. Those colors are the standard black and white. Where they bring in color is with the waistbands. The colors range from black and white to red and purple. Each pair in the Basic range has classic brief cut.

The Trendy is a little bolder in colors. There is not a white or black pair in the bunch. It has solid colors and really fun stripes. My favorite is the Azul Oscuro Sesgo Amarillo Elastico Rojo. It’s blue body with a red waistband and yellow trim. It’s a low of fun and reminds me of a pair I had many years ago. So I may have to get one to relive a favorite pair. I’ts great to see a company mix colors and trims.

Another one of my favorites is the Brief Azul Claro Sesgo y Elastico Ultraviolet. which is a light blue brief with a purple waistband and trim. There is something about the light color and darker trim that just looks amazing to me.

One thing that is really interesting to me is that the briefs and boxer briefs are totally different. You won’t see too many of the same color or pattern in each style. It makes them a little unique. So if your’e looking for matching pairs this isn’t the brand for you.

They have swimwear as well but we’ll just talk about the undies today. But we will write it up soon. But if you want to see the swim check it out on the Paul Ferrer site.

You can find them at the Paul Ferrer Site or Paul Ferrer Facebook Page but know both are in Spanish. So you will either have to translate them or be able to speak Spanish. I haven’t seen them at any US store or online so if you’re interested you will need to purchase from their columbian site!
