I know we ask you guys what you want for Holidays. I thought I would share what I have on my wish list for this Holiday season. There are some great pairs out there right now that I really want to try or have my collection updated:
Cocksox CSX 76 Sports Brief – I love the fit of Cocksox and believe it or not I haven’t tried any of the CSX Collection. This pair comes in my favorite color, GREEN
Ergowear BSC Bikini – One of my very first brands I discovered that fit guys who need extra room in the pouch. I also love a bikini cut
Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Brief – I really love this line from Andrew Christian. I want to spice up my underwear drawer with some bright colors and this yellow would be perfect
aussieBum Billy Boy Brief – This line from aussieBum reminds me of the underwear I bought growing up. The prints are amazing and fun. Plus it’s not a small bikini cut but just right.
Mundo Unico Short Boxer Pinos – One of my latest things I love in underwear are patterns and prints. Mundy Unico has always done amazing work in both. Even before it became one of the in things in underwear. I love the Unico Pouch as well!
N2N Bodywear Power Mesh Jock – Now I couldn’t all do briefs. I do have jocks on my list as well. N2N makes underwear for every guy to feel sexy in. I love the red jock best but anything they make is good with me!
2EROS Neo Brief – I have the jock and love it. The pouch is amazing and fits really well. Plus I love the bright colors adjacent the black fabric. It’s just a great pair not to mention the cool fly design.
These are just a few of the MANY pairs I want. When I sat down to do this post my brain is on over load and as soon as I post this I will remember about 10 other pairs I want. Plus this list is always changing. But this is an overview of what I would love to get this holiday season from someone special. Since I don’t have someone special I guess I’ll have to get them myself !
You maybe asking Chaps? Yes we are profiling chaps from Andrew Christian. We are doing this for two reasons. First, there are a ton of you out there who love fetishwear and will love this! Second, they are an amazing price for chaps. Granted I wouldn’t say ride your motorcycle and use them for protection. But for a nite at home or a fetish bar night these would be perfect.
First thing you notice is they are gold. Not, gold lame gold but more of a muted look to them. That doesn’t mean you won’t draw attention to the in the metallic fabric. The thing that stands out to me the most is the the belt loops on the chaps. I’m not sure what you would wear with them but it’s more like a pair of jeans rather than chaps.
Here is what the Andrew Christian site says “Every sexy man has a cowboy fantasy, and these will help you fulfill it. Made out of our new super shiny metallic fabric, they hug in all the right places with just the perfect amount of stretch to help you move comfortably. They also feature dark, asymmetrical fabric trim to make this pair even more unique. You can pair this chap with our Hardware Jock (style 9634), made from the same fabric, for an awesome look”
Also you can pair this with the Flare Harness too. Its pictured in the pics below. Pair it with the jock and you could have a fun night in.
These are all limited edition pairs so don’t miss out! I just think they are super fun and thought we needed to profile them! And let’s face it can’t we all use some new fetishwear from time to time? Fetishwear is something that allows us to be someone else for a night. We all have our favorite fetishwear, though some people won’t admit it, but we know who you are! Lets face it fetishwear is a great way to spice up the love life.
So head over to the Andrew Christian site to check these out and some great mesh/see through pairs they released.

UNB Underwear Review – Bum Chums Nebula Brief from UNB Blog on Vimeo. Check out Bryce’s Review of the Bum Chums Brief that is quite festive for the Holidays
Sure, the spirit of the holiday is about giving, but your shopping is done, you’ve trudged through the snow (or through the sweltering sun for our friends in the southern hemisphere,) you’ve battled crowds in malls and may even have bruises to show for it. But now it’s all over and we think it’s time to treat yourself.

To take advantage of this offer simply head to Jockstrap Central and you’ll find all their jockstraps, underwear, shorts, long johns, wrestling singlets and more all reduced by 15%. What are you waiting for? Get shopping.
Its the Holiday Season and we had to run this picture by Baskit! I know many of our readers (and some of them actually do) want to open their presents in just their undies.
We all love underwear, or you wouldn’t be reading this blog. There are brands that I know in years of following underwear that I think you guys should definitely know. ErgoWear is one of those brands. I have had several pairs of them even before I started UNB. They were well made and super comfortable. Some of you out there may already know the brand but those who don’t, here is a brief introduction.
The main thing you need to know about them is they have an ergonomically designed pouch. Meaning it’s designed to fit a guy and feel natural. They don’t use straps or anything else in the pouch to “enhance” you. It’s all done in a natural way that will give you the enhance without the hassle. I think the enhance is just a side effect of the underwear. I LOVE a great pouch, and ones that have enough room but give you support are hard to find. ErgoWear has always done this very well.
You maybe asking well what kind of styles do they man. Insert a “I’m a (insert style) kind of guy, and hate (insert style).” Well you are in luck, because they make their amazing pouch in every style. The styles range from long boxer briefs to thongs and everything in between. No pair lacks the amazing pouch.
As a side note they do make swimwear but for this post we are just focusing on the underwear. The very first pair I ever had was the X3D bikini. It’s made out of a nylon spandex blend and is white. For the life of me I don’t recall where I bought it from. I has been in my collection since the mid 2000’s. I always love wearing it and it’s still in rotation in my underwear collection. I am going to get a few new pairs of the brand coming up soon!
So if you want some great underwear check out Ergowear. It has an amazing pouch in every style you could ever want!
I know we have a ton of jock fans out there. Some of you guys love a traditional jock. A traditional jock is defined by the thick waistband (usually around 3 inches) a pouch and leg straps around 1 inch wide. These days these jocks are getting harder to find in fashion colors. Pistol Pete has created the Devious Jock for the lovers of the traditional jock.
This jock is the traditional cut but updated to put the Pistol Pete spin on it. The waist band has a white, red and black strip with the Pistol Pete name written in the white. It also has a drawstring in the waist band. The jock main color comes in Black or Red. And is available for $26.00
This jock has the Pistol Pete spin on it and is one you could wear to the gym or sporting event. Heck you could even wear your favorite jeans. It’s great to see a traditional jock back in the world of men’s underwear!

We recently started a new project with models where we profiled them for our readers to get to know as well as showcased their best work. We decided to expand this new venture to also include the artists behind the camera, the photographers. Their vision and talent enhances each photo shoot, advertisement, and continues to bring brand awareness to the public.
In our first photographer profile, Underwear News Briefs sat down with Gavin Harrison, the man behind the camera at Gavin Harrison Photography.
UNB Kyle: What was your first photo shoot and how did you come to get it?
Gavin: My first real shoot was for a Bridal company shooting at a country house. I got the job via a model agency. I’d been doing tests shots of their Models.
Kyle: What made you want to pursue photography?
Gavin: I’d been working for a few years as an illustrator and I was taking shots to use as reference material for the drawings. So I got more into shoots than drawing. Plus I was really into fashion magazines and was inspired by the work of Bruce Weber.
Kyle: Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?
Gavin: I think I’m still waiting for it to happen. I never like my shots after a few days of taking them.
Kyle: You have beautiful shots but we are our biggest critics! Definitely a talent in my opinion. How about a mini breakthrough or great experience?
Gavin: I did shoot a few times for the Royal Opera House which was pretty cool.
Kyle: Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?
Gavin: I can’t think of anyone shoot. But when I used to spend winters shooting in Miami was really fun. I made some good friends while shooting there and the weather was great.
Kyle: Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?
Gavin: I think every shoot is a challenge. A to try and not repeat yourself and to try and offer something different to other photographers. Plus often things don’t go to plan. Clothes samples get delayed, no show models, Make up artist miss the train etc etc lol
Kyle: Are there any brands or models you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?
Gavin: In fashion there’s always new and exciting designers who’s clothes I’d love to shoot and a new crop of exciting models. It never stops.
Kyle: How do you prepare creatively and determine your environment for the shoot? Is it determined by you, the brand, or a collaboration?
Gavin: I try to work on new ideas daily. Then when I get a commission I try to match the requirements of the brand to my ideas. But if nothings working I start from scratch. Having previously worked as an illustrator Im always drawing ideas or scribbling notes.
Kyle: It must be pretty amazing to have the ability to illustrate these ideas in your head and bring them to life in such beautiful artistry.

We received this really fun video from Justin Case. We will be seeing a lot from this brand this year! They are super fun and amazing.
Seems like the Justin Case man is ready and willing to just about anything at any given moment. Confidence is KING! Make sure to throw on a pair of Justin Case because you really never know what your day will throw at you!
Gigo Underwear displays a nice shorter version of a boxer brief which can be great for the guy looking to jump between the two. Bright colors and matching shirts are always great additions to any underwear collection!
Its one for the brief lovers today. This weeks pair for the Baskit $12 Tuesday is the Baskit Contrast Bikini! It’s a great pair with some awesome colors. So go check it out and all the pairs on the specials page.
Are you a fan of fetishwear? You know really fun underwear/gear that you can wear out to a bar, around the house or even to work. Who said you had to have boring underwear at work! If you are then you already know about Cellblock13. They just released the new Enforcer line.
The first thing you notice with the Enforcer line is the new waistband. The new branded waistband is awesome. Cellblock13 is written across the front and the band is a main color with thin white stripe at the bottom. I really like this band and the font the brand name is written. The other colors available are blue, green, red and orange. They are different colors form the red, yellow that has become a staple of the brand.
This line is 7 different pairs. Which for a new line is HUGE! There is the Enforcer Pant and Jock Pant. The cut is an updated one that has been featured in other lines but updated for the new colors. The Jock Pant has the back side cut out! The other styles are the Trunk, Cruising Jock, Jock Brief, Brief, and Enforcer Jock. You maybe asking whats the difference between the Cruising Jock and the regular jock? The regular jock is a classic cut of a 3 inch waistband that you see in many old school jocks. It has a tag in the front rather than the Cellblock13 name in the band.
Each of these are super fun and a great line. You can find it at retailers or the Cellblock13 site.
It’s that time of the year where warmth outweighs fashion in just about everything! However, Frank Dandy will change your mind on that after seeing these long johns. They are one of the more creative companies when it comes to patterns an prints. They usually have fun and whimsical prints in their collections each year. This year is no exception.
They have 10 different prints (4 of my favorites posted above) and 3 solids. I think if your’e going to get the long johns you gotta go for the prints. I mean there are a ton of solids out there! My favorite is the first, which is a print of toy Robots and called Robots. It also comes in a red back ground! I love this print so much.
My second favorite is the red, white and blue striped (3rd in the line) called the Honest Al striped, and one to the left is the Honest Al Block both are super fun. I love the red pouch on the block! My last favorite is the Big Bro stripe. All amazingly fun and festive. You will be warm and stylish at the same time.
All the Frank Dandy printed long johns are $59 and the slide are $39. So be warm and stylish at once!
We brought you the new jocks from Garçon Model. I thought we had to share a pink one for you guys. Check out the entire collection at their site!
Garçon Model released a new line of Jocks! They are similar to the SoBe line that came out this year. That is they are bright, colorful and fun. They have the same waistband as other pairs. The classic GM waistband! Which has become one of my favorite waistbands in underwear!
The new jocks come in 9 different color combinations. My two favorites are the So:BE which is the pink with grey waistband and pink pouch. Also the Raleigh, which has the grey/pink waistband and white pouch. They really pop and are super hot to me! Garçon Model put their own spin on the jock with these and they are awesome!
Right now they are giving you 15% off your order with code GMXTRA15%. So go to the Garçon Model to see all 9 color combinations and get your favorite.
