Just arrived at Jockstrap Central: Full Kit Gear’s Sport Jockstraps were designed for comfort but they’re masculine in every detail from the serious black pouch and the full three inch wide waistband to the color accents that announce your fetish interests. Here’s more details:
A super-soft black poly blend pouch that cradles your kit and stretches when the blood gets flowing yet retains it’s shape afterward. Stitching (contrasting colors in most) run vertically down the center of the pouch for a stylish touch and as an added bonus feature, it accents the bulge.
Like we mentioned, this jock has a full-on three inch wide black sturdy elastic waistband with a centered bold and suggestive FK logo. An extra horizontal fabric band (again contrasting in most) runs horizontal at the base stopping short at the top of the one inch wide leg straps creating a unique design element.
These jockstraps work on every level, whether it’s at the gym, club or some fetish event.
Available in solid black, black with grey, black with blue, black with red, and black with yellow. Be sure to check out Jockstrap Central‘s latest model Brandon putting these new jocks through their paces over at thier online store.

Today’s Brief Distraction is a shoot we did back in December of 2012. This was the first shoot we did with David. He was a lot of fun to work with and he is wearing N2N Bodywear.
It’s back! Now’s the time to take advantage of International Jock’s Trick-or-Treat Giveaway. They’ll send you a FREE treat with every order making it a frightfully good deal! There’s no minimum order size and no limit to how many times you can order; you’ll receive a surprise gift every time. Each treat is hand-picked by International Jock staff from a hauntingly huge collection of T-shirts, mens underwear, swimwear and more. While the thrills of the giveaway are freakishly real, the only trick is this: like a ghost in a haunted house, the supplies might disappear at any moment, so you’ll need to act fast!
This is another favorite pic we have done. I really enjoyed working with Adam. I hope we can work together again sometime. This is from our Holiday Guide from last year, he is wearing Clever Underwear
International Jock is pleased to announce the immediate availability of DSQUARED2 underwear, the latest addition to its extensive line of men’s fashions. Inspired by DSQUARED2’s founders, twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, International Jock recruited twin models Kevin and Joel Baker for their DSQUARED fashion photography and marketing campaign.
“We’ve been following the brand’s worldwide success and have received numerous requests from our customers,” says John Sievers, founder of International Jock. “Once the collection arrived, we decided to have a little fun and feature Kevin and Joel as a tribute to DSQUARED2’s designers. We had photographed the Baker twins individually in the past but bringing in DSQUARED2 gave us the perfect reason to shoot them together.”
While Kevin and Joel have each built flourishing modeling careers on their own, they are rarely photographed together. Now, they appear together in the risqué DSQUARED2 campaign video as well as on International Jock’s website.
The DSQUARED2 mens underwear collection offers a sumptuous variety of colors and styles to suit every taste: classic briefs and trunks in cotton, micro-modal and Filoscozia (mercerized) cotton, adventurous items in mesh and lace, sophisticated Oxford boxers and jersey cotton tank tops. Every item in the collection is meticulously hand-crafted in Italy for an unrivaled fit and the ultimate in quality.
Internationally acclaimed for their luxury fashions, the DSQUARED2 underwear collection has been created with the same unparalleled attention to detail that has made DSQUARED2 one of the most prestigious and sought-after collections anywhere.
This is one of my favorite pictures we have taken at UNB. It’s from our Swimwear Guide 2012 featuring Clever Swimwear. It also features Cody and Juan as our models. Enjoy Guys!
It’s time for another edition of out staff picks. This time we are covering jocks. Here’s what some of our staff have to say about their favorites.
Shane: My favorite jockstrap I own is the Modus Vivendi natural jockstrap with faux leather trim and rope straps. The straps are adjustable to change the size and the faux leather looks and feels real. The natural coloring highlights the design while the unfinished seam down the front of the pouch really is eye catching. Overall, it feels great on and looks fantastic.
T. says: My favorite jock of all time is N2N‘s Classic Cotton Jock. It is not too flashy, or full of features, but by golly it is the most comfortable jock I have ever worn. I love nothing more than to lounge around the house in this pouch. It is so comfortable, while still being very sexy, with its nicely shaped pouch and classic waistband straps.
Jeff says: My personal fav is Timoteo‘s Club House Lace Up Soccer Jock.
Why I love it: Though this pair has a unconventional style, it’s executed in a classic, retro style slim. The slim, tight fit is also super sexy.
UNBTim says: My pick is the Cocksox Jock. This jock is simply amazing. You take the great pouch Cocksox makes and put it on a jock! It’s super comfy and fits amazing. This jock is perfect for wearing under jeans/cargo shots (which I do often) to wearing under a suit! Granted jocks are made for sports and this jock could easily be used for any sporting activity. Just amazing prob the best jock I have ever worn!
UNBAtlBriefs says: My favorite jock is the Obviously Chromatic Low Rise Jock. This jock is amazing! From the texture of the fabric down to the form fitting pouch, I love everything about this jock. It lifts and supports while making sure the good are on display. Almost like wearing nothing at all!
Today’s Brief Distraction is a throw back to our Valentines Shoot for this year. It features Cocksox and model David! We hope you enjoy this look back

We are in full Halloween season! Many of our readers are finding great ways to incorporate underwear into their costumes. They could be undies only, for those who dare to bare it all, to ones that only incorporate some underwear. We are going to give you some suggestions that you may want to consider:
Risky Business
You may recall Tom Cruise singing “Old Time Rock’n’Roll” in his undies in Risky Business. Even if you haven’t seen the movie, its one of those iconic scenes that everyone has seen in clips or pics. This is an easy costume to make:
Difficulty – Easy costume to make. Should has most in your closet.
300 Sparta Warrior
We all recall the warriors made of abs and pecs in their red cloaks. How just 300 warriors defend Sparta from an army of invaders. This year the sequel released this year so what better time to resurrect this costume.
What you need:
Difficulty – May not be easy to do on the spur of the moment. To find the right look you may have to go to a few costume stores and online stores for undies.
Tarzan
You can be king of the jungle pretty easy. This also is a costume for the guy who’s not afraid to show off a lot more skin! Not all of us want to show off but we have many readers who do something fun every year.
What you need:
Difficulty – pretty simple to do, You really just need a lion cloth. Which you can get online or make your own if you’re super daring. A few companies have sold these, the most recent was Tulio, but many other brands do them! Plus I have seen some at costume shops
Quail Man
90s kids will fondly remember Doug Funny’s alter ego: “Quail Man” Doug was a TV show that aired on Nickalodean in the
What you need:
Dificulty – This is pretty easy to make. There are some craft skilled needed but it’s a simple costume. You could sub the felt for a marker. All these items are pretty easily found in your closet.
These are only a few, we’d love to hear your suggestions

We bring you another picture from our past. This time it features model Cody in Mundo Unico Swimwear. This picture was from our 2012 Swimwear Guide shoot. It was shot south of Atlanta!
When you think of underwear advertising today, the sky is the limit! You see everything and very little can be left to the imagination. This wasn’t always the case, in the 1970’s and 80’s they wouldn’t show men wearing undies in TV commercials. If you are under 30, you may think this is totally crazy.
In the 1970’s most of the men’s underwear advertising was happening in magazines. The one company that really stood out during this time period was Jockey. I hear many of you saying, “Jockey? are you serious?” Yes I am. Jockey really was the front runner in men’s underwear advertising. They broke a lot of ground that still stands today!
This was most evident in the “Take Their Uniforms away and Who are they?” Campaigns. From what I can find they ran it in 1976 and 1977. It was 8 different sports starts just in their undies holding their sports equipment. I was going to say balls but thought the pun was just too bad! I always wondered how they got sports stars to strip down for the camera.
The best known is one we have talked about before, Jim Palmer. He was a star of the Baltimore Oriels at the time. He started in the late 70’s and continued till the Mid 80’s. Mr. Palmer wore mainly bikinis in the ads. This was pre-boxer brief time. He did prob about 20 different ads over that time period.
Jockey has continued to use sports figures in their ads. Most recently was Tim Bebow, former NFL Quaterback. Their ads currently are not as ground breaking as these ads during the 70s.
We celebrate 5 years this month. We wanted to give you a look back at some of the shoots we have done here at UNB. This is from our 2011 Swim Guide. If you remember model Ben? We still see some of these pics on Tumblr! So looks like you guys really enjoyed it. This is a pair of N2N Bodywear from 2011.
The journey that is UNB started five years ago this month. Each year I try to pinpoint the exact day that UNB was born but always come up short. The formation of UNB came about when I got laid off from my marketing job in 2008. I had worked at another underwear blog briefly and it wasn’t covering what I wanted to know about underwear. So the journey began. I figured it would be a great way to get some great undies and occupy my time for the few months I was out of a job.
Well the economic downturn of 2008 happened and the unemployment lasted a bit longer then I had expected. UNB quickly became a job for me to have an outlet for my creative energy. There wasn’t much pay but it was a lot of fun. I have met some amazing people, many whom I consider my friends, that I never would have met had I not started UNB.
Some of my best memories of the last 5 years:
There are a few memories and people that I had to mention. There are many more people who have helped make UNB a success. I want to thank all those I didn’t mention as well for the success over the last five years. There are too many to mention.
Lastly would be you guys, our readers. Without you none of this would have been possible. You guys are amazing and keep sharing your love of underwear. We are working hard to get the site more personal so you get to know us and hopefully consider us friends as well. We have a lot in the works and plan on telling you about it later this year. The world of men’s underwear is an amazing community and I’m honored to be a part of it.
Today’s Brief Distraction is from one of the new companies we have met in Vegas. This picture features Wood Underwear. They are super fun and you will see more of them on our blog soon! As they say, Wood is Good!
Autumn has arrived in the UK and the weather man says we’re in for a cold one! Customers at DGU are taking this advice all the way to their undies drawers and have started stocking up on some winter warmers.
Bruno Banani Cotton Line Long Tight GBP35.00
Gorgeously soft cotton long johns are a must for keeping out the chill for men working or exercising outdoors.
HOM HO1 Inners Long John GBP49.00
Lots of layers are great for warming up but it can lead to… erm… shall we say access issues? HOM’s patented HO1 opening makes this long style as functional as it is chic.
Mundo Unico Desafio Medio Boxer Brief GBP25.50
Longer boxer brief styles are becoming hugely popular. Mundo Unico have a great range that keep muscles warm and are super supportive, making them great for working out.
Doreanse 5002 Boxer Body Suit GBP23.00
Clever gents looking for a great way of layering up (without any gaps) are opting for all in one body suits. Sleeveless styles with short legs are great as underclothes or nightwear.
Gregg Homme Purr Pants GBP53.95
Loungewear is big news in the UK. Fashion forward fellas are snapping up luxurious styles like this modal mix Gregg Homme.
Doreanse 1960 Thermal Long John and Long Sleeved Shirt GBP21.00 each
Guys looking ahead to the depths of winter are going for proper thermal fabrics. Lots of styles have matching tops too for the ultimate in cosy underclothes!
Find these pairs and more at Dead Good Undies site! We do have an affiliate sales link with Dead Good Undies.
Today’s Brief Distraction is from Pikante, this is a more classic pair but they are known for their bright colors and amazing prints. You should definitely check them out!
We teamed up a few months ago with Dead Good Undies to bring you what’s hot in the UK. It’s been a lot of fun to work with them and expose you guys to some new brands. We now are going to do that for the US. Men’s Underwear Store is teaming up with us to give us a monthly report of some great undies right here. This is the first installment and we look forward to working with them!
Clever Belice Latin Brief: These are my personal favorites. Clever’s designs are the epitome of Latin flavor. The cotton on these briefs is super soft and stretchy, but still supportive. I like briefs that sit higher on my hips, and these do just that. Two color options here, both in figure-flattering stripes: a bolder teal or the easy grey-blue.
C-IN2 Dip-dye: We’re loving the colors of this collection. As always, C-IN2 uses the same sexy-but-sporty styles but brings in high-style with the color gradients. Dip-dye styles in clothing (whatever style in whichever market) can either go totally right or completely awry, but C-IN2 hits the mark on this one. We actually have these as our window display in our storefront – both the underwear and the shirts in the purple-green shades.
Obviously NAKED collection: The fundamental difference between Obviously’s basics and the Obviously Naked collection is the pouch – whereas the basics have a cupped pouch, the Naked collection has a contour pouch that sits slightly longer and gives incredible support. We were one of the first and are one of the only ones to carry the Naked collection.
Emporio Armani Stretch Cotton Basics: These are one of our top-five sellers from Emporio Armani. EA is known for its high-quality garments, and these are a prime example. They’re also great for guys who want to get some color in their lives while sticking to neutrals or calm colors as their staples.
Diesel Platinum Microfiber Divine Trunk: Diesel is always a crowd favorite, and these are no different. We used these (in red) on a model as the featured image for our fall collection. They’re cool, stretchy microfiber trunks with a modern graphic waistband – rich basics turned up a notch, essentially.
N2N Bodywear Performance X Brief: The mesh micropoly fabric on these gives them a sporty-meets-modern look and texture. N2N’s Performance X collection gives you an extra shapely boost in the front (with the cupped pouch) and in the back. Again, these are updated sporty basics, but the black and cerulean-striped waistband with the brand’s logo gives these a pop of color (that’s almost a little retro!)
Find these great styles at Men’s Underwear Store!
In the world of underwear and for meany of our readers, color is one of the most important factors. I mean I have searched many times for the perfect color in underwear! Now Baskit has added two new color combinations to their Contrast line. Those colors are Super Green and Vibrant Yellow.
The Contrast line is known for it’s great colors with a contrasting trim. This year the contrasts are Vibrant Yellow/Super Green and Super Green/Steel Grey. Each will make the great color pop! One of my favorite is the Yellow pair. It’s very bright and fun! The contrasting green just sets it off nicely. Baskit did an amazing job on these!
About the pairs:
These are now available at the Baskit Website. If you like bright colors then you will def need these in your underwear drawer!
