How big of an underwear fan are you? Would you be willing to go as far as an underwear fan in Canada? As you see by the pics, he took a picture from AussieBum into his local tattoo parlor and instead of a pin up girl he got an AussieBum guy put on his arm! (click on the pictures to enlarge)  We want to thank AussieBum for sending these over, now this is really a fan of AussieBum!

This makes us wonder, how far would you go for your favorite brand of undies? Leave a comment and tell us what you’d do for your favorite brand of undies!

IS_bodiform_tone_1

We received the other day some great gear from AussieBum. We were pretty excited since most of us have never tried them before. The only one who has is Greg, whom has posted a few pictures under our “What we are wearing” section. In the coming weeks, you’ll see AussieBum Bodiformreviews on the Clan and Hero Lines.

The first thing I noticed was the waistband. As you all know, I absolutely love waistbands. I’m not sure why, but I love branded waistbands featuring the company brand or logo. I guess it goes back to seeing them peek over the top of a guy’s jeans or shorts, displaying to me what they were wearing. A funny side story is when I went bowling one day, there was a guy in the next lane and it took me a few moments to figure out what he was wearing. It was a white waistband with a blue line. I finally realized it was Nautica. Branding makes it easier to recognize! Getting back to the waistband, the first thing I really IS_bodiform_shape_2noticed was how soft it felt. This is probably the softest feeling band I have ever had on a pair of underwear.

They say, in their advertising, this selection is made with high quality materials, and I found that holds true. These were made out of an extremely high quality of cotton and conformed to my body, feeling great. Very few other undies are made with these materials.

If you’re looking for a smaller brief these may not be for you as they are a full cut style. I wondered, at first, if I would like this style. It was quickly apparent that I love them. They are some of the best briefs I posses. If you are a brief fan, you will love these. Heck, even if you aren’t, you should try them anyway. They have been incredible!

I have heard about this but I finally found a picture of it to share. AussieBum have been getting raves and criticism over the new innovative ad campaign. As you can see on the Bus Shelter, it’s a guy in the water with his AussieBum’s around his neck. I will say this is a very eye catching ad. You wouldn’t normally expect to see a guys bum on a poster. AussieBum has always had very sexually charged images, that showcase the undies and swimear. This is done in both print and video. I think this is a great ad but I could be a bit biased. However, I don’t think we would have an ad like this in the States. I say this due to the Calvin Klein ad with the three people on the sofa. The controversy that came out of that ad, I could imagine the furor over this one!

What do you think of this ad and campaign. Let us know by posting a comment.

The Underwear of the Week this week is a really creative line from AussieBum. The new Hero line is out and you can relive those days growing up and have some really fun characters on your underwear.

Her is what they say on the website:
With the quality of this soft and smooth special fabric, you will feel just like you have your own superhero costume on underneath your clothes in our unique and exclusive brief design. Challenge yourself with this new and bold character.

“75% Polyester, 25% Elastane Gentle machine wash in cold water. Do not tumble dry. Do not bleach or wring. Line dry in shade. Do not tumble dry. Do Not Iron”

The charters are as follows:

IS_hero_hipster_hunter_5Hunter

IS_hero_hipster_oceanman_3

IS_hero_brief_exterminator_4

Exterminator

IS_hero_brief_wolfman_1

Wolfman

The line was designed by artist John Royal who has has done a lot of work with Marvel comics. The designs really do look like they took them right from the pages of a comic book. They are really fun and I”m sure they will give you a pep in your step when you wear them!

You can get them directly from the AussieBum Site. Each of the characters are available in briefs and hipsters. Both retail for around $35 depending on exchange rate.

So far they have raised just over $750 but much much more is needed. With the recession donations are down and the need is even higher than ever. If you can’t bid please make a donation on the ride. So far Chad has raised about half of what he raised last year and less than 20 percent of what he raised his first year on the ride.

The second is the Diesel Nagano Bathing Suit. These new season swim shorts are a recent addition to our extensive swimwear range but have already proved to be a huge hit.  Diesel knows the market trends and introduced this shorter style swim short to this year’s collection.  These shorts not only look fantastic but have a super soft polyester material which means they feel great, are comfortable and quick drying.  Available colours are Red, Black and Sky Blue.

Swimwear Trends
Here at Quake for Men we have noticed over the past years a definite UK trend for the more fitted swim trunks, it appears Men are moving away from the longer length shorts.  One of our most popular brands is Pistol Pete which has a great range of swim trunks from classic styles to the more adventurous.
