Men’s Underwear Blog – Model Interview with Sean

sean-3Our Friends over at Men’s Underwar Blog were kind enough to let us post part of this interview with Underwear Model Sean. We hope you enjoy it! Now on with the Interview.

It was quite a surprise to get the call inviting me along to an underwear shoot to meet and sean-4interview the latest Quakeformen.com model.  It didn’t take me long to decide to accept that invitation.

I must admit it was a little disconcerting to be interviewing a very handsome young model when he’s only wearing a pair of Diesel Filatexy boxer shorts.  It was difficult to know where to look.  But I guess Sean is used to being looked at and it didn’t seem to phase him in the least.  I do think he sensed his near nakedness was distracting me and kindly offered to get dressed.  I didn’t want to break the flow of the interview so I told him he was just fine in the boxers.

Sean’s a 23 year old college student studying Sport Science.  He got into modelling as a result of a locker room conversation with one of his training buddies.  In Sean’s own words “He was a good looking guy with a really well built body.  When he told me he was sean-2doing some modelling I thought I would give it a go”.  Judging by the results I think that was a very good call.

Sean is 5’11 and weighs in at 167lbs.  That must be 167lbs of lean muscle as I couldn’t see a trace of body fat on him, and remember I could see almost all of him.  He has a well defined 39 inch chest, a flat chiselled 32 inch waist and a 32 inch inseam.  He has dark brown hair and stunning grey/green eyes.  You can really tell Sean spends a lot of time working out, indeed he tells me he hits the gym 5 or 6 times each week.  He is also very proud of the fact that his muscle mass is entirely down to hard work and diet.  He takes no supplements or muscle building products.

I asked Sean a series of random questions to try and get to know him better.  I can reliably tell you that Sean would most like to visit the Caribbean; prefers Calvin Klein boxers (although he did tell me that he planned to keep the Diesels he had on); he’s a bit of a sean-1track star having competed at the world junior 200m trials and was the 400m champion for his home county. He plays Rugby Union at a Semi professional level and his favourite food is fruit.

Sadly the interview got cut short as Sean had to return to the set to model some new Diesel Swim, but he’s promised me a follow up interview soon.

Sean strikes me as a great guy and I know everyone involved with the shoot really enjoyed working with him.  Perhaps it’s that naughty smile.  I really do wish him success and hope he remembers that promise.

I ran across this great company when I was on Twitter! I have found a few companies on Twitter that we will be bringing you. Quake for Men is based in the UK. They have fun and cool site. I say no matter where you are go check it out!

Brand Profile: Bruno Banani
This German company has a very high standard of product.  The mixed fabric styles tend to be distinguished looking, with very light and soft to the touch finishes, giving the wearer complete comfort and luxury.   The more cotton based styles tend to concentrate on the fashion ranges.

The Products:
Boxers, low rise, briefs, hip briefs. Hip shorts & strings.  Strong swim offering.

Our View:
It’s such a shame that Bruno do not advertise heavily in the UK as they are a little more expensive than the more well known brands; this is more than justified by the quality of the materials they use and the brilliant “construction”.  It would just help if they were more pro-active in getting that message across to the UK customer.  The feedback we get from our customers is that while they are more expensive, they are worth every penny.  Bruno tends to have a loyal following and therefore a high percentage of repeat purchases.

Bruno tends to bring out quite wacky and retro prints, some work very well and some don’t!  This year’s theme is Peace (which is one of the designs that has worked).  All fashion styles come in limited edition branded packaging.

Worthy of Note:
Sizing:  Bruno is slightly less generous in their sizing than other brands.  Customers who are borderline (say between a small and a medium) should upsize unless they like their undies tight!

Brand Profile: HOM
The French Brand!  Well known in the UK, but with a much stronger presence in Europe.  Many styles are reserved for the European markets, but can be made available in the UK if we really want them.

The range extends from their Basics, through fashion and into “functional” such as performance underwear for the more sporty or athletic guy.

The Products:
Boxers, Briefs, Low Rise, Mid Cut, Sports, thongs and strings.  Swimwear, vests and long sleeved tops

Our View:
Hom has a loyal following in the UK and because of that will always sell well.  However we fear that they have “lost their way” a little and some of the recent designs have lacked the edge and style necessary to appeal to a younger audience.  In our view sometimes a brand more at home with the more mature customer.
