Style Brief – Alpha+Omega Sling Brief

June 4, 2013 No Comments

One thing I love more then anything is to bring you guys new underwear. Some of you out there may know Alpha+Omega underwear, but I”m betting a large part of our readers may not bee too familiar with the brand. If you’re not then Alpha+Omega says this about their brand:”Our underwear has been designed to be the most comfortable you have ever worn. So comfortable in fact that you will feel as though you are wearing none at all.”

The pair we chose to profile today is the Sling Brief. You maybe asking why did we choose this pair? Well, the design is the main reason. The pouch is attached at the bottom and on two places on the waist band for the pouch is able to hang free and move with your body. You can’t see it in the picture but the pouch has access from either side. To me it’s a really cool design.

The color is offset by the contrasting black trim on a light blue fabric. Speaking of the fabric the pair is made out of a 95% Cotton 5% Lycra blend. So it will be soft against your body.

The pair retails for $24.99 at the Alpha+Omega website – http://alphaomegawear.com/

Style Brief – Croota Night Runner

August 18, 2012 No Comments

Croota is one of those companies that our guys have loved. They aren’t known too well here in the states, but we think you guys should be aware of them! They have another new line released, which is called Night Runner.

If you aren’t familiar with Croota, they are a company out of Australia. We have reviewed them a few times over the years. The underwear never seems to disappoint. We also featured them in our UNB Swimwear Guide back in May.

Here is some info about the pair:

A 5cm elastic band is hard to find on the market, especially with 5 colour applications including white and silver satin, this is expensive and complex manufacturing. The waist band looks awesome under your favourite jeans or gym shorts.
An aggressive Croota logo on side creates a sporty look.
3 stitching lines in 3 different colours on the bottom part gives a very unique and stylish design.
Retail Price: AUD $19.90
Fabric Breakdown: 95% Cotton, 5% Spendex

Style Brief – Croota Pattern Breaker Bikini

August 15, 2012 No Comments

Croota is a really great brand we cover from Australia. We have reviewed them and we love the fit and feel of the brand. We are excited to see some new lines from them, and the first one is the Pattern Breaker Bikini.

The pattern is inspired and designed from the stars on the Australian flag as well as Croota’s star logo.
Inserting a partial and breaking silver satin logo on the elastic band is the hardest technique for manufacturing and this design can only be found on
Croota’s new designs (First time anyone has attempted this in the market) This effect on the logo really has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
Comfortable bikini type for an active life style
95% Cotton, 5% Spandex

Style Brief – Clever Skull & Roses Swimsuit

May 26, 2012 No Comments

Do you want a pair of swimwear that is unique? Something not everyone out there will have? If you said yes you need to check out the Clever Skull & Roses swimsuit we just featured in our 2012 Swimwear Guide. I initially saw this suit in February in Vegas. I was told this part of the clever line was inspired by the day of the dead celebrations.

I think it’s a pretty cool print and not one you are likely to see on everyone out there. Prints usually have less people wear them, especially in swimwear. However, this pair would definitely be a conversation starter!

Swimsuit low rise bikini type with drawstring waistband for good fit,
Medium coverage in back and cut in the front with zigzag stitching,
Has a modern skulls and roses print on front.
Composition: 84% Nylon, 16% Spandex.

This just is a really fun suit. It’s great to see companies like Pistol Pete doing innovative work in men’s swimwear. No longer are we just limited to board shorts and swim briefs!

In C-IN2

Style Brief: C-IN2 Grip

May 15, 2012 No Comments

C-IN2 has released the new Grip Line. Traditional cotton fabric absorbs moisture quickly and can quickly become saturated, retaining as much as 20-40% more moisture than synthetic fabrics. It is this characteristic that has limited cotton’s ability to perform well in active wear and performance apparel products. However, the absorbency of cotton can be significantly reduced with TransDRY technology, resulting in faster drying performance and greater overall cotton. Cotton fabrics treated with this technology can be engineered to show a 2000% improvement in one-way transfer of moisture to the outside of the fabric over untreated cotton and leading synthetics.

Available in Compression shorts, Army Boxer Brief, Profile Brief, Short Sleeve Crew, Long Steve Crew, and Strong arm
Colors are white and dark navy.
Prices range from $24-50

You can find these at the C-IN2 website now!
