Review – Extreme Alpine Trunk

MrShane — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:00:45 +0000

Extreme Collection underwear provides us with an exciting and enticing pair of lace pouch-front trunks/shorts. I hesitate to call it lace because many guys will feel it is not masculine to wear lace. If you are one of those guys, just mentally substitute mesh where I write lace and all will be well in the universe. Speaking of masculine, I will not try to define masculine simply because masculine is one of those words that has varying meanings among guys. So, let us move on past what is masculine and its definition and simply enjoy the underwear for what it is and what it is meant to be.

The fabric is 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and stretches and molds to the body. The waist and the pouch are outlined by a solid white piece of elastic that is approximately one-fourth of an inch in width. This provides a nice look to the trunks. The pouch is sewn in two panels and the elastic piece rests behind your package to lift and show it off nicely. The rear is pieced in two panels, as well, and comforms to your assets to better show off and define that area. I found the feel of the fabric to be soft and comfortable against my body. The fabric is sheer and allows full exposure of the body. Size Large fit nicely.

I was able to wear this pair a couple of times before writing this review and I found the trunk to be comfortable and very wearable. This is a nice blend for the fabric and will allow for easy washing and drying and long term wearability. I wore these with blue jeans and track pants. The trunk did not pull against the fabric or bunch up in those areas we all detest them to. I felt erotic and sexy the entire time I had them on. Many times, my underwear seems to give me extra confidence and a personality boost. Overall, I enjoyed the lace trunk and feel it is a nice change from the normal cotton/other fabric type of underwear that I wear and review.

Review – PPU Pin Stripe 0998 Bikini

MrShane — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:00:39 +0000

The PPU Pin Stripe 0998 bikini was a fun pair of underwear to try out. PPU Underwear is an underwear company from Colombia that seeks to create underwear of high-quality, affordable, and sexy intimate apparel for men. The look of the bikini was above average with the stark white waistband and black front and back, but the pin striping set everything off nicely.

The fabric consisted of 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex and was soft and conforming. It seems like every underwear company is experimenting successfully with fabric combinations. The same fabric composition can change drastically among companies. The waistband measures one and three-quarters inches and was white with a shiny PPU logo embroidered on it. The logo was not centered above the front panel, so this will not make everyone happy, but it really does not bother me. The leg openings were highlighted by a slim white piece of elastic material to provide a nice contract to the black fabric. Overall, the fabric and design was very comfortable.

Size large fit well. The pouch was pieced together from two separte pieces of fabric to provide the cut that fits the best on the male form. There was an internal seam which I never noticed while wearing. The rear is a medium fit and some guys will not like how it hits their assets The leg openings were comfortable. The piece of fabric that hits the area behind your package was slim and just the right width.

I wore these on standard days of general daily activity. This bikini was comfortable and felt great against my body with the soft fabric and right sized waistband width. My khaki pants and my jeans had no issue with clinging to the undies or pulling at them during the day due to the slick fabric. I found several sites offering this bikini for less than $20. So, the cost is a bit high, but you do get what you pay for, I suppose. Overall, I enjoyed the majority of the features of this bikini.

Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction and stays soft through repeated washings. Of course, our favorite feature of modal is simply it’s stretchability and it’s nature to expand adapting to anything that may pop up! The Activeman Sports Brief is constructed of a sturdy but stretchy cotton with a touch of Elastane for the ultimate fit. The fully formed and roomy ergonomic 3d pouch ensures the utmost in comfort for a guy. This quality of underwear at this price is unheard of.

Review – Luis & Juke Pink Jimmy Trunk

UNBJohn — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:00:11 +0000

Hey everyone it is great to be back reviewing again. I have been super busy over the last year or so, and been helping out behind the scenes here at UNB. It is good to be giving a helpful insight into some of the new styles and brands coming out in men’s underwear for 2012. I love trying new brands and this brand has me very interested.

I am reviewing the Luis & Juke Pink Jimmy Trunk in a size medium. This is the first pair that I have ever had the chance to wear from this particular brand and I have to say it won’t be my last. If you are not familiar with Luis & Juke, they are from across the pond in the UK. They don’t have a ton of different cuts, but the colors and patterns are enough to keep this brand looking fresh.

The first thing that I noticed about these undies was the bright pink fabric and the purple waistband. I love bright colors and patterns and these did not disappoint. When I opened up the package I saw that they looked a little bigger then what most mediums do and after I tried them out I can say that they do run a little bigger then normal. I am a 32 waist and the mediums fit 32-34. I would recommend that if you are on the fence about what size to get, go smaller. The design of these undies is great. The bright pink offset with the purple waistband and purple stitching is one of my favorite color combinations. If pink and purple aren’t your colors of choice, don’t worry these come in other colors as well.

The material is pretty standard. It is a 95% cotton and 5% elastane. This combo gives it just the right amount of comfort and stretch to stay in place and makes these undies perfect for all day, everyday wear. The waistband is a standard one-inch and doesn’t dig in or pinch like some undies that I have tried. The purple waistband also features the Luis & Juke logo in orange. Not sue why they choose an orange logo with pink and purple but that is not too big of a deal for me. These also have a closed fly, so if you are a guy that like a fly in the front, these are not for you.

These undies fit great and look great. They are a trunk cut so they have a little shorter inseam then a boxer brief but provide enough coverage all the way around. They fit right at the waist, which is great as well. If you are looking for something that sit a little lower on the waist I would look else wear.

PRO’s:

Color and “flashy factor”
Comfortable for all day everyday wear no matter what you are doing

CON’s:

Sizes run a little big
Orange Logo on the waistband doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the design.

MY RATING:

FIT:	4
MATERIALS:	5
CONSTRUCTION:	4
LOOK:	4 (due to orange logo on waistband)
DAILY WEAR:	5
OVERALL:	4

Review – CandyMan 9511 Thong

GuestWriter — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:00:37 +0000

Today, I am going to review the CandyMan 9511 Thong. This thong has a triangular cut out at the top of the front pouch as well as the rear strap. Much to my surprise, I receive a pair with a black waistband and nautical white/navy striped pouch! Loving everything nautical, I couldn’t wait to toss on these babies!

The construction appeared to be well done, although my OCD got the best of me seeing as the stripes don’t line up on the 93%Polyester, 7% Elastane pouch. Upon first test drive, I realized that one must dress in the ‘down position’ as the pouch wasn’t quite large enough and dressing ‘up’ would result in a potential ‘escape’ of the anaconda … If you know what I mean. That noted, The pouch cut out, when positioned correctly allowed for one to pull their ‘snake’ out, allowing it to freely hang while the boys remain nicely supported inside the pouch.

I wore this thong to work and out for drinks afterward. The pouch, being a little too small, required proper adjustment a few times during the day. The fabric, while descent, wasn’t the softest thing, which caused a little discomfort towards the end of the day.

Likes:

Good construction
Great pattern
Suggestive design.

Dislikes:

Pouch was on the smaller side
Cut out required one ‘dress’ down
Fabric wasn’t the softest

David Beckham Super Bowl Ad

UNBTim — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:00:16 +0000

I posted this on Facebook today and it got me thinking. (If you haven’t watched the ad, please do so now). I posed the question that is the mainstream media scared of men’s underwear ads? Which is ironic to ask since our last Podcast with Freshpair.com, Matthew said that when FreshPair.com first started to advertise they were limited as to what they could post.

This is, for all I know, the first men’s underwear ad ever in the Super Bowl. So, for that we have come a long way and hope we have a more men’s underwear ads in the big game and other mainstream shows. However, that said, they barely showed the underwear, and no direct front shot. They just did a partial shot or one from behind. Maybe it was for artistic intent, but I think it’s more, “lets not offend America.”

I am curious as to what you guys think of the ad. Is the media scared of men’s underwear? If so why do you think that? Also, do you think we’ll see more underwear ads? Did you get a picture of what the new Bodywear line will consist of? Basically, is America ready for Men’s Underwear ads? What companies do you want to see advertise on TV? Rate how well H&M did with the ad.

Review Valentino’s G-String

GuestWriter — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:00:08 +0000

My name is Sean, I live, play and work in the design industry in Boston. I have been wearing thongs for years! I originally fell in love at the thought of wearing something that was barely there, but then came to appreciate the functional design of such a garment. I wear thongs during my day-to-day life, especially in the summer and nearly always at the gym. Thongs are perfect for the gym because they do not restrict any motion and there is very little bunching – as an avid yogi and runner, this is a MUST! I also wear thongs out on the town, not to show off, but to go un-noticed under light colored pants.

Today, I am going to review the NDS G-Sting from ABC Underwear. This particular G-String comes in a variety of colors, I just so happen to be wearing the red one. The packaging was pretty no-frills, but I was excited to try them on! The G-String had the standard string sides with an adjustable pouch. Upon first inspection, the construction looked pretty good – almost as if it were meant to double as a swimsuit, which I am sure it could on account of the nylon/elastane blend. The label is a black/silver stag placed on the front of the pouch at the top, which I could do without as it cheapens the look. The sizing on this model was small/medium, and was displayed on a large tag attached at the top of the interior of the pouch. This posed a problem for someone of my size, I am 6’1 and a size 30 waist, meaning smalls usually fit just right; this small/medium was definitely a little too large unless it was meant to be worn higher than standard low-rise underwear. Sometimes being skinny is a curse!

I decided to wear them out for dinner and out for drinks after with friends. I put the G-String on and inspected things in the mirror before setting out. The pouch is contoured, I assume to fit the natural anatomy of a man. This had it pro’s and con’s, most of which I didn’t really notice until I was out and about. While it felt as if my ‘fella’s were allowed to swing so to speak, there was a lack of support and a little too much swing of the pouch while walking. This didn’t offer up a nice ‘display’ of ones assets and the pouch tended to change size seeing as it was not securely fastened to the waist string. The waist of the pouch tended to bunch after walking from the restaurant to the bar and required some adjusting throughout the night. While it was nice to not feel confined, the pouch offered a little too much space and swing. The pouch was also a little uncomfortable as the night went on beneath my pants. While I wasn’t thrilled with the G-String, it was fun to play with the size of the pouch!

PROS

Good construction
Fun color

CONS

Adjustable pouch bunched
Strange contour
Itchy tags
Slightly too big in the waist

2wink Australia Launches ‘Walkabout’ Range

UNBTim — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:00:18 +0000

Popular Aussie underwear company 2wink Australia takes a journey back in time with its new “Walkabout” range of designer men’s underwear. For the first time ever, an Australian underwear company has teamed up with an Aboriginal artist to create a new range of 100% Australian-made men’s underwear.

The underwear range, which celebrates the Aboriginal Australian culture features footprints walking across the waistband. It was designed by Aboriginal artist Peter Mulchay of Queensland, and symbolizes the Aboriginal culture’s rite of passage for adolescent young men.

“We’re proud of our Australian history,” says 2wink Australia co-owner Carl McNeill. “And we wanted to create a range of underwear celebrating the diversity of such history while also incorporating cultural elements that are around today. We also brought on popular fitness model Lee Stram who has helped to create an incredible buzz about the Walkabout range.”

Walkabout low-rise briefs and trunks are available exclusively in black and provide a sexy, masculine look and feel. Aussie craftsmanship offers a mixture of cotton and spandex to hold firm and highlight both front and rear assets. The briefs retail for around $21 – $23 USD (free worldwide shipping), and are available at www.2wink.com.au.

Review: Equmen Precision Underwear

UNBTim — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:00:38 +0000

I have reviewed Equmen a few times for UNB. I think the first time I wore them was about two years ago. The one thing I really noticed was a difference in their shirt from other undershirts. The brand has stuck to their core (pun not intended) business and make a great product.

This is a review unlike most we do; it involved two different pairs from Equmen. I received the Precision Core Undershirt – Singlet and Precision Underwear – Boxer Brief. Those who have read the blog know I am not much of a boxer brief fan. So when I opened the package, I wasn’t too excited, I was hoping for a brief. But I”ll get to that in a sec.

I wore the pairs to work and hoped for the best. The first pair to review is the shirt. I have the regular t shirts from Equmen and hoped they lived up to my previous reviews. I put it on and realized I had it on backwards. For those of you who have put on what is called “shape wear”, you know getting it on is not an easy task. So I put it on the right way, and I will say the singlet fit really well. It makes you pay attention to your posture, meaning you notice you stand up very straight and tall. Which is a good thing. I really like them and how it fit. I wish I had 5 or more pairs so I could wear them to work.

Next up is the Boxer Briefs. I know I can hear many of you going, here it comes, and this won’t be a good review. However, these boxer briefs were pretty darn amazing. I am not one for one for boxer briefs that don’t have a pouch. These were, for a lack of better term, ordinary looking when I opened the package. So when I put them on I hoped they would last through out the day. Much to my surprise they really held their form and felt great. It is one of the few times that a boxer brief fit me like a brief. This pair will be going in my drawer and go into regular rotation, rather then be banished to the second drawer. This reminds me of the saying, Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Another thing I must add is that you would think with the technology, you would be hot all day. This is not the case. It is the opposite. The two styles really breath with you though out the day. There is nothing worse then underwear that doesn’t breath and you feel like you are melting in.

Pros:

The shirt really increases your posture
Boxer Briefs held their form all day
It doesn’t get you hot and breathes with you

Cons:

The shirt is hard to get on
Colors are limited to white, black, grey and blue

Criteria	Singlet	Boxer Brief
Fit	4.5	4.5
Materials	5	5
Construction	5	5
Look	4.5	4.5
Daily Wear	4.5	5
Overall	4.7	4.8

I would recommend these to anyone looking for performance underwear. It is perfect for working out or every day wear! These were furnished for review by Equmen

Brief Distraction

UNBTim — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:00:44 +0000

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Go Softwear. We mentioned the other day they have an entire new line of Swimwear. This is another picture of the new line. If you like it go over to the Go Softwear site and see them all!

New BodyJock Swimwear

UNBTim — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:00:16 +0000

Can you tell us about the new swimwear line? (ie. what inspired you, how did it come about etc)

We are so excited about the launch of BODYJOCK’s new swimwear line! Launching the collection just in time for Spring/Summer 2012, we created a swimwear collection inspired by Miami’s art deco design and the South Florida lifestyle. The line showcases two swimsuit styles; the boxer cut and classic brief. Boasting 84% Nylon/16% Spandex, BODYJOCK swimwear is form fitting and comfortable to wear. Our carefully selected vivid colors include black, navy, yellow, and red. The collection has been described as sporty and sexy while fusing boldness with masculinity.

What made you create the new line?

As an online retailer of men’s underwear and swimwear, we’ve been distributing the “best of the best” of designer brands since 2008. Truth be told, we were less than impressed with swimwear collections over the past two years! Living on the beaches of South Florida, gay men and straight men alike were seeking muscle type swimwear; something masculine which they would feel comfortable wearing at the beach or poolside. We listened and designed a sporty square style featuring dynamic colors and full coverage. For those wanting to be a bit more adventurous, we created the brief line cut. Both creations were carefully constructed to accentuate best assets.

You do something I haven’t seen much, you are giving back with every pair you sell, can you tell us why you decided to d do this and what charity you are working with?

Before BODYJOCK, I served the not-for-profit community for over 23 years. Whether I was helping people with disABILITIES or providing food to the poor, I learned early in my career the importance of corporate social responsibility, and the need for all businesses to be good corporate citizens. The underwear industry, being a multi-billion dollar industry, has a huge responsibility to get involved! Our hope is for BODYJOCK to start a trend of “giving back” in our industry for the betterment of the community.

Recently, I toured the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida. After seeing the amazing support given to terminal children and their families, we were moved to help. Two dollars from every sale of the BODYJOCK swimwear line (wholesale or retail) will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Each year we will select and/or add additional charities which represent a great need in our community. BODYJOCK challenges others in our industry to become visible community supporters and use the unique opportunity we have to inspire our followers and customers to get involved!

You got some local publicity in the Miami/FTL area, how did that happen? It’s not often we see men’s swimwear on local news.

Honestly, I was so surprised when I received the phone call from CBS 4 Miami. Having lifestyles reporter Lisa Petrillo, who has interviewed such celebrities as Oprah, Tom Cruise, etc., contact me to spotlight our swimwear collection,…well you can imagine my reaction! Being represented as “the go to swimwear for buff beach goers” was an incredible honor and, we feel, a testament to the great swimwear BODYJOCK is offering this summer!

What can we expect in the future from BodyJock?

With such a successful swimwear launch, BODYJOCK Co has decided to transition from selling other name brands to producing more of its own designs in swimwear, underwear, and active wear! Fortunate to have such amazing partners like Posche Models and photographer Jorge Freire, expect to see sexy and hot campaigns showcasing our new products in the upcoming year.

Where can we find BODYJOCK swimwear?

Customers looking for BODYJOCK swimwear can purchase this incredible new swimwear line directly from our website at: http://www.bodyjockco.com, or they can find us (and other great products) on alphamaleundies.com, shophistrunks.com and studzgear.com.

Our goal is to get the BODYJOCK brand into stores everywhere! We can be contacted for amazing wholesale opportunities at contact@bodyjockco.com

Just for UNB Readers you can get 25% off BODYJOCK swimwear until Feb. 19th with code UNBFAN! We want to thanks BODYJOCK for doing that, so go get some great swimwear and give back to a great charity!

“Freshman Car Wash…Andrew Christian Style” Viral Video

UNBTim — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:00:17 +0000

Andrew Christian Inc. sends the internet into a frenzy with the release of their viral video, “Freshman Car Wash…Andrew Christian Style,” that features six gorgeous models wearing the super sexy AirSculpt underwear.

Picture it! Men in teal colored AirSculpt underwear, soaping themselves up more than the car itself, complete with booty drops and an opening “Mean Girls” slow motion walk. This vision is set to the sounds of the club classic anthem by Pepper Mashay, “Dive in the Pool.” This video will make you want to run screaming to the car wash to get SOAKIN’ WET.

The AirSculpt is a sporty and comfortable shape, with some added features that are sure to make this underwear an instant classic. This style forms to your body for a perfect sculpted look. The fabric has memory to prevent sagging, keeping your backside looking nice and tight. Need proof? Just check out the backside of guys in the video! The fabric is Micro Modal, which is extra light and so soft you won’t even know you have underwear on!

This style features a fly front for easy access. They also have a pouch for extra room in front, just where you need it, and our proprietary super soft Ultra Slimming Elastic with extra stretch to reduce cinching and squeezing of your waist which reduces the appearance of your waistline. Then you add in the contrasting waistband and piping in bright colors and you have a pair of underwear that will always make you stand out!

	New for 2012: Stylish new mens swimwear, undies and sportswear from Andrew Christian now in-stock at Topdrawers! We’ve received a shipment of new styles from the ever-popular Andrew Christian collection this past week, including some great new swim briefs, trunks and shorts. The new Avalon swim brief and trunk feature a larger front pouch accented with a contrasting waist and legs. The sides feature retro styling with contrasting trim that curves along the leg openings and and in the waistband of the garment. In eye-catching black, white and turquoise – which just happen to be the colours of our new website theme, so we’re rather partial to these modern new swim styles! We also received the new Almost Naked Triathalon swim trunk in this fantastic colour combination. Based on Andrew Christian’s popular Almost Naked line of underwear, this trunk features an anatomically correct pouch with extra room in front – just where you need it. The back has a yoke to create the look of a full bubble butt. When you pull them on your package falls naturally into the snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable and unique experience. In this shipment we also received some of Andrew Christian’s popular Skinny hoodies and cardigans in grey and charcoal, perfect for layering in the winter months or as cover-ups at the gym. These light-weight fitted hoodies not only have a great stylish look but are also designed to hug your body and make your chest look big and your waist look thin. Arms have a tighter fit but offer great stretch so your arms look muscular but the hoody is not constricting. We also received a couple of new styles of Andrew Christian’s amazing underwear: The new Nanofit Competition Brief is a low profile brief that features contrasting leg trim to help make your legs look more muscular and the back of this brief features stitching detail that creates the look of a fuller more rounded backside. Made from ultra soft micro modal fabric so it is super comfortable to wear and the metallic silver elastic waistband is sleek and super soft. 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.

Trunk Show the Book Review

UNBTim — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:00:11 +0000

I was lucky enough to get a copy of “Trunk Show: Swimwear Inspires Art” by Jason Salzenstein to review. I was really looking forward to seeing it, because I bought Jason’s last book “Brief Encounters.” The two books are set up very similar, divided into two parts. The first part is about swimwear companies and the second part is showcasing photographers.

The first part of the books is about companies doing great swimwear. Jason has written up all the companies in the book and included a picture or few from recent campaigns. One of the most notable are ES Collection. ES Collection is a brand we profile a lot in our Brief Distractions. They have always done incredible photographer, not only for swimwear but for everything they sell. Other brands featured in the book include aussieBum, Baskit, 2EROS, CA-RIO-CA and more.

The second part features photographers who have done some incredible work with swimwear. Photographers in the book include Karim Konrad, Pedro Virgil Alan Spiers and more. Each photographer has at least two pics showcasing their talent. Some of the pics you may have seen out on the net. This is true if you are familiar with the photographers. The section Dean Stockings features Timoteo and have made it to be our Brief Distractions. I know he didn’t get every photographer to participate, but would have been great to see a few more photogs in there.

I really liked the book. Its a great way to celebrate men’s swimwear. The details are just a great overview of the companies. I think a super detailed and in depth profile (sort of like a Vanity Fair style) would be too much. The profiles are just the right length. I think the photography section could be a little longer, but that is my only complaint, which is a minor one! I know what it’s like to negotiate pictures and try to use them. Even with out more pictures it’s a great overview of the men’s swimwear industry.

We interviewed Jason a few weeks ago when the book came out. You can click the link and go read it. We will have him on a podcast soon, we just have to work out our schedules.

I would rate the book a 4.5 out of 5. It is definitely well worth the price. You can pick this up at the Bruno Gmünder site (who is the publisher) or you can get some good deals at Amazon if you keep checking. Currently it’s just over $24 on Amazon.

Today’s Brief Distraction is from BodyJock. This is the part of the new swimwear they have just released. We are going to have a full interview with them and know part of the profits of every suit goes to charity.

Andrew Christian’s Latest Design: V-Shape for 2012

UNBTim — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:00:02 +0000

The V-shape torso and the V man line is something that people have lusted for and over for years. And now, just in time for the New Year, Andrew Christian created an underwear to create those lines that will turn heads! The V-Shape is cut into a low sexy v to create that shape and accentuate a man’s own sexy “man-line” on his abs. It also has the contrast piping on the front to also accentuate these same lines. The waist band is perfect for those who like a lower cut and thinner waistband. Now everyone can have that sexy six-pack…let your underwear do the work for you!

The V Slim also is made with a modal fabric that prevents sagging in the back. 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 wearing experience. Front stitching on pouch provides extra lift and support.

Buy these undies at the Andrew Christian website

Petit-Q is a brand new line! We know there are many of you out there who like more daring underwear. This line gives you just that, they focus on sheer, cut outs and show casing the natural assets of guys. Their site says:

Sheer, bulge and/or cutouts, everything you need to enhance your manhood and upgrade your sexiness you will find in our brandnew collection Petit Q. Either you like tiny bikini or trunk, thong or jockstrap, you will find an underwear that fits you and gives you confidence

The line just came out last month. I think they are off to an interesting start. I know this line isn’t for everyone but they are definitely having fun with the new line. We are getting a few pairs to review and hope to have a more in depth interview soon! The pics here feature their model Issac Jones. See more pics below

Men’s Underwear Taking a Turn?

UNBTim — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:00:28 +0000

When I first started this blog three years ago, men’s underwear wasn’t what I would consider main stream. It was still for the fashion conscious guy and not the every day guy. Then 2(x)ist introduced the Evolve line at Target and we got to see more and more underwear hitting the mass market. That is underwear you don’t buy in a three pack.

In the last few months we have had some big names enter the underwear market. The to guys that are turning men’s undies into mainstream are David Beckham and Mario Lopez

The first is David Beckham, granted he’s no stranger to the world of underwear. He previously modeled Emporio Armani with his wife, Victoria Beckham. Now, David has stepped into role of designer with the Bodywear Collection for H&M. The initial collection will feature 9 different styles. H&M Says:

Designed by David’s in-house team and sold exclusively at H&M, the focus is on fit, function, comfort and design, avoiding overt branding to present a range of new classics, comprising of briefs, boxers, vests, T-shirts, pyjamas and long johns. The result of eighteen months of research and development, the collection aims to set a new standard in men’s bodywear for the 21st century.

The Bodywear collection will be available February 2, at all 1,800 H&M stores. This, if you haven’t gathered is an exclusive just to H&M

The next guy bringing men’s underwear to the attention of the masses is actor Mario Lopez. Which I will say I didn’t expect, so when I was told he was doing an underwear line, I was like “Huh?” But it makes sense he’s has always been a body conscious guy. When we first saw him on Saved by the Bell, he was the jock and then after he’s always been one to try and look good.

We covered this a few weeks back and to refresh your memory Freshpair.com said to us:

I got a chance to talk to them this past week. They told me the line is going to start off conservative but after the first of the year it will expand. Which is a smart thing to do. This is what we were told – “The prices range from $18 – $29 (briefs being $18, trunks $20, and shirts going up to $29). They are contemporary basics and come in red, blue, white, black, and gray. There are several lines, but the Elementary line will be the initial launch with others to follow early next year.”

This line is only available at Freshpair.com.com and is currently being sold.

We have a super start of sports and an actor/entertainment reporter both come out with underwear lines within two months of each other. We have some questions for you:

What do you think of these two lines?
Which star of stage, screen or field (aka actor, singer or sports start) would you like to see come out with a line of underwear?
Do you think we will see more male celebrities endorse/design underwear?

It’s great to see men’s underwear hit the main stream!
