  • “VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW”

This year at Curve, I got a chance to sit down with Gregg Homme and see the new line. I will admit this is one of the best things about the blog, seeing undies months before the general public. Gregg Homme always swears me to secrecy until the line comes out. So, if you ask me, I will deny everything!

The new line really impressed me. It’s a very cohesive underwear collection. Everything to me flows together. There are many times I go and see collections and they are not designed to work together. To borrow something from Project Runway, I could see one guy owning every piece of this collection.

Gregg Homme really excels at fabric selection. I got to try the Voyeur brief and it felt amazing to me. It was super stretchy and conformed to my body. Other pairs in the collection share this care for fabric selection.

I have said this many times and will continue to say, “Gregg Homme does sexy, and does sexy well.” All too often you buy a super sexy pair of underwear and get through the day and it just fails. I doubt you will have this from Gregg Homme. Well, you could wear the Master to work; wearing armbands attached to your underwear could be a bit much. However the arm cuffs do detach!

This week each day we have more and more about the collection. Here today I thought I would do something different and you see the notes I wrote up while at Curve. Here are my reactions to the line as it was shown to me!

  • Voyeur – SUPER soft and there are a lot of colors in the collection! Made with 24% spandex because they listened to customers wanted. Two thongs in this collection for dressing up or down. Small elastic waistband and a big demand for delicate men’s underwear. Available in black white, sky purple and red in 4 styles 2 thongs, briefs and trunk
  • Perfekbum – Outside string that goes up the seat that defines your butt. I haven’t seen it done before in mens’ underwear that I can recall. Brief and trunk/boy short have a logo waistband.  Colors available in black, white, sky, purple and red.
  • Hotshot – crisscross elastic with metal rings and back is super hot, sort of a basket weave. It’s definitely a sexy but different style, this is one you have to see to with your own eyes. Available in four colors purple, black, white and fireman red.
  • Kenya – Zebra print – made out with see through pouch with an enhancer that shows off what the wearer wants to show off! Accents are made with rubber like fabric. This gives it a sexier look. Styles are string, thong, brief and trunk/boxer brief and muscle shirt.
  • Booster – Enhancer pouch and super thin and feels great. Again they know how to pick amazing fabrics. This is one of the thinnest, stretchy, best feeling fabric I have seen in men’s Underwear. Colors are White, black, peter and royal blue.   Enhancer is made out of the same material as Voyeur with 24% spandex, Available in a Thong, brief and trunk/boxer brief
  • Glory – One style group, it is a thong with metal eyelets surrounded by leather look straps. The thong is super sexy and bordering on fetish wear. It’s definitely now for the shy.
  • Master – Brief with armbands attached to the back with a ring and clip. The bands go around biceps. Leather/rubber look fabric with detachable arm bands so you can wear it as a brief
  • Heaven – Soft side being brought, with a more of a 9-5-comfort style.  This is a “basic collection’ done by Gregg Homme. Cotton/lycra with logo waistband. Made for comfort. Brief, boxer brief, tank and V-neck t-shirt. Available in white and black
  • Mood – Same as Heaven but in Microfibre group. So a basic with a sexier fabric. It’s classic and sexy at the same time! Available in a brief, boxer brief, tank and t-shirt.
  • Tropics Swimwear – Bold tropic print, Sunny print, and metal signature on side of waistband.  2 types of briefs, one with front seam and other with no seam. This is great for the guy who doesn’t like seams. Not often you see this done today.
  • Ocean Swimwear – Basic with a capital B – Solid colors. Super soft martial Front logo will be silver metallic. Basic is not bad, at times you definitely need some classic looks. Available in Black, red, royal and red.
  • Retro – swimwear with double waistband win fun colors. Pewter, royal, aqua, magenta, white and purple. These line very much reminds me of a retro almost 70’s feel. Available in six colors and as a square cut and a brief. So it maybe basic but not plain!

Go to the Gregg Homme site and see all the styles. They are amazing and fun. I will say this one of the my favorite collections of the year!

Today’s Brief Distraction from Gregg Homme is the Glory! Gregg Homme’s exotic & erotic GLORY string instigates the wearer to shamelessly rejoice in new sensations and entertain naughty ideas… after all, what good are naughty ideas if you can’t act them out? The GLORY string masterfully merges sheer and rubber-look elements while including sturdy rivets for that tough edge.

What were the inspirations for each line, is there a story behind them?

The inspirations of our collections come from all different angles: we travel a lot, we read a lot, we web-surf a lot, so we are constantly bombarded by thousands of images from fields that are not necessary fashion.  We are also constantly solicited by our fans sharing their needs and fantasies and finally, we have an incredible creative team.  All this put together reflects in our collections.  As crazy as it may sound, a regular item from the day to day life could be the starting point of a new seem, a new fit or an extraordinary underwear innovative design.

Gregg Homme is known for its incredible use of super soft and stretchy materials, can you tell us about what you used in this collection

Our recent Liquid Touch Hyperstretch Microfiber that we timidly introduced in the KINK of the past season is making a definite statement in this new collection: there no words in the dictionary to explain the tactile sensation of that fabric.  The sponginess and silkiness and that fabric is simply beyond words and to this day, everyone who ever touched that fabric looked back at us totally mesmerized, trying to describe that incredible sensation.  If you get that feeling on your hand, you can just imagine what it feels like when you actually wear it.

Gregg Homme, for the last few years, has done amazing videos; tell us about this year’s video.

There are no doubts about that; our videos are tattooed with fantasies and sensuality.  Our fans not only appreciate them but keep asking for more.  This new campaign is exploring the angle of the Urban Spy Voyeurism: who can pretend not being drawn to check the cute neighbor walking around his apartment in his underwear?

Where did you get the idea for the plot?

We are well surrounded by a very gifted creative team: there is a perfect synergy between the internal staff and the outside agencies putting all the results together.

Today’s Brief Distraction is the Perfekbum from Gregg Homme. The very well-rounded PERFEKBȖM collection is yet another ground-breaking creation by Gregg Homme that endows the wearer with fuller, better defined buttocks, especially beneath gym pants and similar thin-fabric bottoms. The clever little secret is an elastic string bum outliner sewn just under and behind the pouch, running between both cheeks (but not like a thong – the elastic string runs on the outside of the garment!) and up to the middle back of the waistband. Made from a liquid-touch, hyperstretch microfiber for maximum comfort and minimum worry, the PERFEKBȖM collection is the perfeckt addition to the fashion-forward thinking man’s wardrobe!

Find these at the Gregg Homme Site!

The pair I was lucky enough to review is the Gregg Homme Voyeur Brief.  This is a first time we have reviewed Gregg Homme on the site. It’s part of our week long celebration of the new Gregg Homme line. There will be many fun things this week, so stay tuned!

I will say when I first took the pair out of the envelope I was a little worried. Because the pouch looked a little small and I wasn’t sure I was going to fit in it. This was a worry I should not have had, after many years of seeing them at Curve, I know their fabric stretches and fits your body like a glove!

This pair I wore to work to see how it would hold up during a day. The fabric really was form fitting and a bit sheer. Which to me added to the sexiness of the pair. There is nothing better then wearing a sexy pair of underwear to work to give you a little bit of extra confidence through out the day!

The Voyeur Brief has a very thin waistband and it held up through the day. I was very impressed on this pair. My only complaint and it was a minor one was the tag bothered me a few times but nothing too terrible. The sizing is pretty much spot on and I had no issues at all. If you follow the sizing guide on the Gregg Homme site you should be fine!

These would make a really awesome date night pair of underwear. It is super sexy with a hint of sheer. It made me feel sexy all day. I would definitely recommend this pair for anyone who likes sexy underwear that wears well! It goes back to what I have always said, “Gregg Homme does sexy and does it well.” Unlike some sexy undies these you can wear and are not made to come off after an hour of wearing!

Pros:

  • Fabric was amazing
  • Sheer but not totally see through
  • Sexy done right

Con:

  • Only one was the tag annoyed me about 2-3 times, but wasn’t bad
Fit- 5
Material- 5
Construction- 5
Look- 5
Daily Wear- 4.5
Overall- 4.9

 

This pair was furnished for review by Gregg Homme. Right now you can save at Gregg Homme and get 10% off with code UNBGH, just for UNB readers till Wed!

Today’s Brief Distraction kicks off a week of Gregg Homme. We have a lot of things planned so you need to come back every day to see them! Todays pairs is from the Mood line!

Whether you’re aware of it or not, our state of mind is often heavily influenced by what we wear. Gregg Homme finds the juste milieu in terms of underwear with MOOD – a collection of styles specially designed to soothe and relax a stressed mind to!

Go Softwear introduces the B-Erotic Collection.  This ensemble is designed in a rayon-spandex/satin mesh fabric for an Alluring and Provocative European flair. It comes in a hi-cut brief, full-cut brief, jock, V-neck tank and a super sexy CHEEK brief combining a brief/jock design all in one. The colors consist of Turquoise, Surf Green, White and Charcoal. The B-EROTIC Collection is available through Go Softwear site and at stores throughout the country.

The saying usually goes ‘Now you see it, now you don’t’ … but the Bum Chums Sneak Peek briefs let others see it all day long! This particular pair comes in black and features mesh-body brief with their signature, logo waistband. The Waistband is elastane, while the body of the brief is made of nylon and lycra.

I tossed these briefs into my gym bag, knowing that I would be heading out straight from the gym that night for and event before a late dinner. Upon first inspection, I noticed that the rise was slightly lower than a previous pair of Bum Chums I had reviewed a week or two prior. I preferred this lower rise, and also how thin and light the fabric was, fitting nicely under my ‘straight from the dryer’ jeans that night! I always enjoy knowing that I have a fun secret under it all!

Who couldn’t resist a pair of mesh briefs? Especially in a black basic cut like this particular pair! The briefs were quite comfortable, with a soft waistband and elastic trip. I really enjoyed the fact that these had a single-layered pouch; I have noticed that many brand double layer the front of mesh briefs for some reason or another. There is a center seam that runs down the front of the pouch, while the rear is constructed of a single piece. The cut of the brief accentuated my assets quite nicely, however, the pouch didn’t have much of a contour to it, squishing my ‘gents’ quite close to my body … This didn’t look right, I have come to find that for a mesh brief to achieve a certain level of ‘sex appeal,’ they have to have more of a pouch to properly present things up and out, as opposed to compressing them.

Like with all Bum Chums, my only real complaint it the large tag fixed to the outside of the wait band on most of their garments. This tag is far too large, and doesn’t have much of a purpose other than carrying a logo. There is a size and care tag sticker fixed to the inside of the waistband, which is meant to be removed before use, however, I am the first to forget such instructions. The pouch was also not quite roomy enough.

Pros

  • single layered pouch
  • sheer, soft mesh
  • soft waistband

Con’s

  • uneven seaming
  • small pouch
  • front logo tag

 

Fit  3.5
Material  4
Construction  3.5
Look  5
Daily Wear  3.5
Overall  3.5
