Dead Good Undies has a really great pair of HOM. We profiled them yesterday. They are the new Safe Love Maxi boxer brief. Its a pair that gives money back, not only will it look great on you but you can support an AIDS charity. I love that it shows your support for safer sex. If that’s not for you the new Bruno Banani is out and just know it’s not for everyone! IT would be great for sports or an active guy. Check out all of them at the Dead Good Undies Website!

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.

Dead Good Undies has the new Bruno Banani Ice Breaker line on sale. If you’re not familiar with Bruno Banani, here is what the Dead Good Undies site says:

The Bruno Banani slogan Not For Everybody is dead right. Since its launch in 1993, the brand has put its underwear to the test in the toughest environments in the world (and off-world – in 1998 an astronaut tested their pants on the MIR space station). Up the Rocky Mountains, trekking 10,000km across Africa, at a speed of 239,697,694.948 kph (precisely – this test was conducted in a research lab) and even on crash test dummies, Bruno Banani underwear has triumphed. They’re up for it. Are you?

And time is running out for orders for Christmas, get your order in ASAP if you’re in the UK to ensure Christmas delivery. They will be shipping orders until the 23rd, but that won’t guarantee it will make it under the Tree.

Lastly, HOM Color and Metal Gloss are now available in maxi trunks and mini briefs! So get some of you favorite HOM in new styles!
