Doubly good news from the guys at Jockstrap Central. First off, for the next few days (until Sunday, May 15th) all North American orders over $50 will receive free shipping and everywhere else will have $5.00 deducted from their shipping charge.

Jockstrap Central has also just launched the Gregg Homme Commando Jocks: These sexy new jockstraps are aptly named for the ultra-light hyperstretch see-through mesh pouch fabric that’s so soft you’ll feel as if you’re wearing nothing at all.

Of course with the shape-retentive stretch fabric and the wide brief style front, this jock can accommodate just about any placement – up, down, to the side and even at full-mast.

Spin around to the back and you’ll find Gregg Homme’s signature three-way jock design (think traditional but extra wide butt-lifting jock straps with an added center strap for extra support.)

Finally, Gregg Homme’s Commando Jock includes a 3/4 inch wide black waistband with woven gold stylized Gregg Homme logo to finish off this bold and sexy jock. Jockstrap Central has got the Commando Jocks in five stunning color combinations – black, white, sky-blue, red and taupe.”

Trying the Naked boxerbrief from www.nakedboxerbrief.com was a fantastic experience.  This boxer brief is like being naked.  It fits close, but it is not tight or restrictive.  When you rub your hands over the fabric and onto your own skin, it is hard to tell that you went from skin to fabric to skin.  Strange?  Maybe for some, but I felt this to be the best feature of this pair of boxerbriefs.

While filming a documentary in 2008 in South Africa for his charity, Project World Citizen, Joel Primus developed the idea for Naked underwear.  When he returned to Canada, he could not find underwear that was like underwear he had seen in South Africa.  After a couple of years of development, the brand became a reality.  Thank goodness!

There are three basic styles for Naked underwear, boxer, boxerbrief, and brief.  The boxer has longer legs than the boxerbrief, but retains the close fit and is not the normal boxer we tend to think it would be.  There are no waistbands on Naked underwear as they would only be a distraction to the style and fit.  The pouch is ample, supportive, and soft two-ply fabric.  The fabric itself is from Italy and is 86% Polyamide and 14% Elastane (microfiber).

I wore this boxerbrief for normal daily activity and found it to be comfortable and soft.  I wore khaki pants and they slipped up over the boxerbrief easily and never felt like they were sticking to the fabric and pulling on my pants.  I hated to take them off at the end of the day.

Overall, the fit was great and true to size large.  The fabric is some of the softest I have felt.  The style was modern and made me think of life in the city in a loft.  I love these boxerbriefs!  I would like to try the brief from Naked and see if it has the same fit and overall niceness of fabric.  Even though I really enjoyed this pair of boxerbriefs, there are a couple of negatives associated with them.  First, the price is $42 for the boxer brief, $44 for the boxer, and $38 for the brief.  While these are the best boxerbriefs I have ever worn, the price would prevent future purchases.  Second, the lack of a waistband will bother some guys I am sure.  Last, the care instructions are:  Cold Wash, Hang Dry.  This will deter some guys from purchase because having to wash your undies out in the sink and hang them to dry may not be the most convenient way of caring for your undies.

The Hand Me Down Collection has just launched from C-IN2. This is the newest collection from C-IN2. It’s based on a vintage styled fabric that literally looks like it was handed down.

The collection is available in:

  • Ringer Crew Neck T – $35.00
  • Ringer V Neck T – $35.00
  • Lo Show Profile Brief – $22.00
  • Runner Boxer Short – $26.00
  • Lo Show Army Trunk – $26.00
  • Ringer Tank Top – $26.00

With this line you can get matching shirts and underwear. You can mix and match different styles and still have the same colors. The colors are muted and not bright and vibrant like the Pop collections of C-IN2. Here is what C-IN2 has to say about the collection

Hand Me Down is C-IN2’s vintage collection in collegiate colors. This burnt fabric, although often seen in outerwear, has not been seen in men’s underwear before.

The cotton-poly blend is immensely soft to touch, and fits perfectly, like other vintage items.

The colors available are:

  • Cleveland Brown
  • Dolphin Teal
  • Syracuse Orange
  • Banana
  • Sangria

You can see the entire collection at the C-IN2 site or C-IN2U site! Stay tuned next for the release of the Zen collection very soon!

 

 

SLY Underwear, out of Australia, has the following information on their website:  “Born amidst a flamboyant and forward thinking youth culture on Australia’s eastern shores, Sly Underwear provides an alternative in male underwear for those wanting to look and feel good from the bottom up.”  After viewing their website, I would partially agree with their statement.  The styling consists of a boxerbrief (workhard), long-legged boxerbrief (playharder), and a pair of boxer shorts (resteasy) which all reflect the reticence of young men to wear anything but a boxerbrief-type pair of underwear.  The patterns/configurations are fun and up-to-date.  I partucularly like the workhard pair with the gun printed on the side.

The pair I road-tested is the Real McKoi playharder boxerbrief in black and gold.  This pair is 95% cotton and 5% elastane with a two-inch nylon/elastane waistband.  This is a very soft fabric combination with a stretchiness that provides a lot of support and comfort.  On the right trunk resides a gold koi fish that appears to be swimming upwards toward the torso when you have it on.  Integrated into the small pouch is what SLY calls a “fire exit” for the forward facing endowed human beings (That’s a “fly” to us Yanks!).  As mentioned, the actual pouch is rather small, but the fabric allows for stretch around your parts and it is the playharder boxerbrief meant for athletic activity.

I wore this pair of boxerbriefs for an entire day which included grocery shopping, teaching a college class, and a trip to the gym.  The boxerbrief was fine for normal wear to the grocery store and for teaching class.  Normally for the gym I wear a jock, but I decided to test out the playharder boxerbrief to see what would happen.  The brief was supportive and kept things in place during rigorous cardiovascular exercise.  The long legs were great and made for a very comfortable five miles.

Overall, this is a great pair of boxerbriefs.  I enjoyed the fabric and the fit.  The styling was spot-on and the design was modern.  The size large was true to size and very wearable.  On the negative side, I really do not like the two-inch waistband for everyday wear, but it could look nice peeking over the top of a pair of jeans.  Also, the brief says not to tumble dry it.  I think, for most men, that this may be a deterrent.  Having to wash the brief and hang it or lay it flat to dry may be too many steps to complete.

It’s aa $12 extravaganza at Baskit this week! Not only do they have a great deal, they have six great deals. This is the most we’ve seen on the $12 Tuesday since it started. Just about the entire Dip Dye collection is on sale! here is a list of the pairs:

  • Dip Dye Bikini Brief

  • Dip Dye Low Rise Trunk
  • Dip Dye Boxer Brief
  • Retro Stripes Bikini
  • Lucky 7 Swim Bikini

Make sure you get them before the deal ends. Is available from Midnight to Midnight today Mountain Time. Make sure you go to the Baskit Site and go to the specials section!

This low profile trunk boxer is made from ultra soft fabric so it is super comfortable to wear. The side measurement of this brief is around 7 inches (17.8 cm) and the fabric around leg openings hugs your body perfectly without bunching or re-adjusting as you sit, walk or run. This style also has a sleek soft metallic silver elastic waistband and a silver charm on the front left. The pouch is anatomically correct so it feels like you’re not wearing any underwear at all and has extra room in front, just where you need it. When you pull them on, your package falls naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket that virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, sweating and chafing to create a truly enjoyable unique .

Something to consider: The Bike #10s have been discontinued for the North American market and although we import them in, we are fearful that their days may be numbered from our European supplier as well.
