A couple of months ago, the UNB team had the opportunity to talk to some of the executives at Baskit about doing a contest with their underwear and featuring it on our blog. When I found out the contest was going to feature Baskit’s /pure/ collection, I was very excited.

If you aren’t familiar with this unique collection from Baskit, you should be.  They are taking “Green” to a new level… mens undies.  All the undies in the /pure/ collection are made from 100% organic cotton.  If you haven’t felt this fabric, it is some of the softest, 100% cotton fabric I have felt.

I received a pair of the /pure/ Boxer Briefs in the natural white color.  When the shipment came, I could tell they didn’t just put the “green” in the undies, they used a box that is made from 100% recycled cardboard.  I pulled these natural beauties out of the box and slipped them on.  I received a size medium and it fit me very well. The natural white color is more of a cream, so if you are looking for a bright white, make sure you order the “super white” color.  This collection also comes in “basic black”. All cuts also sport a green logo waistband, which is amazingly soft as well.

The boxer briefs fit comfortably. I did notice that the leg openings might have an issue with stretching out in the future, but only time will tell. They didn’t feel as strong as I had hoped.  With that in mind, however, I didn’t have a problem with these undies riding up at all throughout the day.  They stayed in place and didn’t bunch.

Overall, I think it is great that Baskit is doing an eco-friendly collection. I think you will start to see more underwear companies start to work more of the “green” theme into future underwear lines. Baskit is one of my favorite brands and I am glad that we have had the opportunity to review and promote this company on the UnderwearNewsBreifs.com blog. These undies are amazing and I am already eying the jock to add to my collection.

Fit:                                      5
Materials:                         5
Put Together:                  4

Check out the Baskit website for more information about this amazing company and this amazing line of underwear. You can purchase Baskit through many online stores as well. To find a list of online stores, go to their website. The /pure/ collection comes in a jock, bikini brief, low rise trunk, and boxer brief.

While at their site, you might also recognize one of the Baskit models.  Scott Herman from MTV’s Real World Brooklyn is featured in many of their photos.

Our Underwear of the Week this week is the C-IN2 Core Collection Jockstrap. This is part of a redesign of the entire line. The line was just released this month and has given a new look and feel to the collection.

C-IN2 has been one of those companies always at the top and creating new underwear that fit guys great. Here is some information from their site.

If you’re looking for your standard fly front brief, you’ve come to the wrong place.

Behind close doors, Co-founder/Designer (and resident genius), Gregory Sovell, in competition with himself, seeks to evolve beyond his own original groundbreaking designs. But bringing a new product to the market “must never be just for the sake of being different.”

Sometimes you’d like to look better undressed then dressed, Greg searches worldwide for cutting edge technologies and fabrics to create products that make you look — and feel — better. Whether innovation in technology — the Contour Pouch, Sling Support, and Trophy Shelf – or fabrications such as Bamboo and Kinetic he encourages you to embrace your freedom to choose what you find sexy in underwear – and who you want to be sexy for

There is something for Everyone!

To get the C-IN2 Basic Jock we recommend getting it from Skiviez. They have great words to say about the Jock as well… C-IN2 has outdone themselves with this jockstrap. Taking a step back in time, C-IN2 has taken the design of the retro jock and incorporated the wide waistband in their own way. If you’re looking for a comfortable and classic jockstrap, then this is definitely the jock for you. Comfortable and sleek, this jock is perfect for the gym or daily wear. The price at Skiviez is  $19.00.

Here is another great model from Cityboyz Fashions. This is another model that Steven met in the gym.
