You get the best of both worlds with this mash-up that combines a brief with a jock.  You get the stylish look and feel of a brief in front and the freedom and butt-lifting benefit of a jock in back.  This style also features our frontal Show-It Technology support, horseshoe shaped inner cup that is lined by soft elastic that gently aids in lifting and support and adds up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) to a man’s frontal measurement. This style also features our Ultra Slimming Elastic to minimize the appearance of your waistline.  The back jock straps use our thinner super soft elastic so it feels great around your buttocks and legs.

Following an up close and personal interview with connexion.org modeling contest winner Tim Baird, comes the second finalist Billy Dortch, a free-spirited Sacramento native with the looks of a bad boy, but a heart of gold and a voice to match.

Over 200 members of social networking site Connexion submitted pictures for consideration and selected the two winners through a series of eight rounds of voting.  Over 30,000 votes were casted in an eight-week period.

Check out what Billy has to say when we peak into his life and love of Baskit…

Baskit: How old are you Billy?
Billy: I turned 27 in July!


Baskit: What do you do for a living (aside from modeling)? What did you want to be when you were a kid?
Billy: Currently I am a singer/songwriter. (Check out Billy Dortch on iTunes or www.billydortch.com) and for money I manage and bartend at a popular bar in West Hollywood.  As a child I wanted to own a farm with my brother and sister…. now the bar at times feels like a barn with farm animals.

Baskit: You have some body art  – can you give us a description of it and what it means to you?
Billy: I have ten tattoos. They all are special and have meaning to my life. I have my last name on my arm, a bird with a breast cancer ribbon for my mom (she is a survivor, love ya mom!) I also have the title to my first music single “breathe” on my neck. The music video for the song was actually nominated for video of the year on LOGO in 2009.

Baskit: What’s the best way to spend a day off?  Extra hours at the gym?  On the beach?  Hiking?
Billy I love to hike. I try to go on a different hike each weekend! I also enjoy camping and am currently restoring an old camper trailer and it’s almost ready to take to the road!

Baskit: Were you familiar with Baskit before the model search and what drew you to it?
Billy: Yes, I actually did a shoot a few months before and by chance I was wearing Baskit underwear. I entered a picture from that shoot to the competition.

Baskit: Is there something thing you aren’t doing that you wish you were? A sport/skill you were never good at or just haven’t gotten around to learning yet?
Billy: I actually want to learn trapeze and run away with the circus!

Baskit: What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Billy: Not sure if it’s advice, but I have always had unconditional love form my family.

Baskit: On a random Saturday, what are you likely to be wearing?
Billy: Swim shorts in my blow up kiddy pool ala Homer Simpson.

Baskit: If you had a week on a beach and could only take three things with you what would they be (aside from clothes and money?)
Billy My boyfriend, an iPod with speakers, and a bottle of wine.

Baskit: Any other interest tid-bits or pieces of information you’d want to share with the readers?  Something nobody knows about you?
Billy: I love the P90x workout and I’ve never had a gym membership! Plus, as I write this, I am currently on a ship in the middle of a sixty-six day exploration of the Mediterranean Sea!

I had never heard of Luis & Juke underwear until our fearless editor Tim unboxed this pair.  When I put the “Stevie 1950” on and wore them, I found them to be a fantastic pair of underwear!  Not only does the 95% cotton 5% elastane blend feels great, but the briefs also have a great open fly classic trunk cut, and a super sexy design.  The design and blend of colors work really well together and I’ve already received some compliments wearing them!

The first time I wore these, they were so comfortable!  When I first put them on I noticed that they rode low on my butt, but that’s part of the appeal of the cut. The pouch in front did a very good job at enhancing, which is always a plus in a good pair of underwear.  All day at the office I felt like I was wearing nothing, which is how a good pair of underwear should feel!  I did not have the chance to run them through a gym workout, but I’m certain they would still be super-comfortable.  Care was very easy.  Just wash in cold water, and contrary to the directions on the package, you can put these briefs in the dryer.  Very easy.

This is the first outing I have had with a pair of Luis & Juke briefs, and I really hope they keep up the good work!

Although the show’s trailer pokes fun of his post-pool “package”, these photos of him in men’s sleepwear, it’s clear that this new Beverly Hills cowboy is the kind who can ride all night.

Justin Deeley’s Stats:

  • Height: 6′0″
  • Suit: 40″
  • Waist: 31″
  • Inseam: 33″
