Frank Dandy Underwear

Category

Many of us out there don’t want to wear plain solid underwear. We want to show off who we are through our underwear. We do this through unorthodox colors (pink and purple), patterns, prints and cuts. I feel underwear is just another extension of our personality. Very few see it but its awesome when someone catches a glimpse of your undies and ask “What are you wearing?” They ask because they are intrigued by it and want to find out more.

Frank Dandy is one of those companies that just get underwear is fun and creates amazing prints and patterns. Sometimes they are over the top and other times they are perfect. But, what’s over the top for me may be the perfect pair for you. Underwear is subjective and it’s great we have so many choices. Here are a few of the prints I think you guys should know from Frank Dandy.

Beast Boxer – Dark Navy

We hope you enjoy this guide. We have more pics to share through our Brief Distractions over the next week or so. Check out all the pairs and get them for you or your significant other! Let us know what you want or get for the Holidays!

Winter is around the corner. I know certain parts of the US and Europe are already feeling the bite of winter. So, it’s time to start thinking of underwear to keep you warm. If you are like me Long Johns have always been something that you dread to wear. I say this because they never fit well and always felt like I was wearing another pair of pants under my jeans. My solution to this was to wear running tights as opposed to long johns.  While this is not ideal it fit better and kept me warm.

 

We now flash forward a few years and long johns have started to be fashionable. Companies are starting to pay attention to them and making them with a better fit and in colors/patterns. There are pairs you could easily wear as loungewear with out anyone knowing they were long Johns. Here are a few pairs to check out:

Mundo Unico – Do you want something that fits great but is classic in styling. Check out the Long John 96101101. They will keep their shape and keep you warm at the same time. Available in Black, Navy and White. Made from 93% cotton/7% Spandex. The pair retails for $45 on the Mundo Unico Store Site.

2(X)ist – Maybe you want just a little flair in your long johns, check out the Tartan Long Johns.  2(X)ist has almost traditional pair, I say traditional because it has a fly front. But the pair is not traditional because of the great tartan waistband. It is available in white and black, with a fly front. Made from 100% cotton. Available for $30 from the 2(X)ist website.

MaleBasics – If you want a performance pair of long johns then the MaleBasics Microfiber long johns are just the ticket.  These feature a “special uplift technology. Made out of 78% nylon and 12% spandex, so they will move with you through out the day or what ever activity you are going!  Colors Available are Black, and White and cost $42. Find these on the MaleBasics Site.

Narciso – Narciso maybe a company you may not know to well. They are based out of Argentina. Their take on underwear is very interesting. They call the long johns “Long Boxers.” These long boxers are full of stripes. It is ranges from subtle to wild! These are some long johns you wouldn’t mind the world seeing. Finding them maybe harder but Erogenos has a few pairs for $42.

Timoteo – We all know Timoteo makes really great undies, but did you know he just released new long johns in his Sport 2.0 collection?  These long johns have the Sport 2.0 waistband and a pouch in an accent color. The main colors are Black, White and Blue. Made out of 96% cotton and 4% spandex. Available online for $36

Frank Dandy – If you are looking for something WILD then you need to check out Frank Dandy. They have solid long johns but the ones to check out are the Cavalaras (skill and day of the dead looking), Jaguar animal print (on a solid orange background), and Comic Square (a quilt/patchwork pair in two colors). These are def  not your fathers long johns! These have to be seen! Made out of 95 % Combed Cotton / 5 % Elastane. Available online for $59.

These are only a few pairs of long johns. There are many more being released. If you have a favorite pair leave a comment here. We can’t cover them all but think one of these will be perfect for you!

Welcome to the 2011 UNB Holiday Gift Guide. You may notice something different, we didn’t shoot this one. The reasons are numerous but we are running stock pics. The pics are small and you can click them all to make them larger. We are running them this small due to the number of undies we have on the guide.

We are giving you the company, website and price where available. If we didn’t include your favorite then let us know in the comments.

I hope you are having an awesome summer! We welcome you to part 1 of the Swimwear Guide for 2011. Due to some logistical problems we are having to break it up this year. But, that doesn’t mean it’s any less awesome. We have some really great swimwear for you this year and hope you go out and buy some.

This guide features a new model named Ben. If you are a Facebook fan/like of UNB you saw the behind the scenes pics I took with my iPhone at the shoot. Now you get to see the good pics! We will be doing a profile on him in the next week so you will find out all about him. I also want to thank Brian Kaiser of Seven Continents to stepping up to the plate and taking the pics on a great day at Lake Lanier here in Georgia. Actually they were take the day the rapture was to happen, but all turned out well!

I hope you enjoy this and look for the next installment very soon

This pair is available from the N2N Bodywear site for $35.00. See another picture below

It’s available in a few colors; White, Royal, Red (pictured), Black, Charcoal and Navy. It has a unique pattern on the back, click the read more button at the bottom to see more!

Do you want a traditional full cut swim brief? If so the Intymen Classic is perfect. It would be an ideal pair to wear on the beach and it shows off just enough without showing too much!

The pair is polyester/spandex blend, draw sting waist and is only available in black.  This pair is available on the Underwear Station website for $34.76

We hope you enjoy Part 1 of the UNB Swimwear Guide. We will have the other part at you very soon! It is still being shot and will be up as soon as we can! See more pictures below!

Hi everyone!  I’m the new UNB reviewer/writer, Brad.  For my first time out, I have test-driven a pair of Frank Dandy Originals boxer-briefs.  Overall I really like them–good fit, comfortable cut, very comfortable fabric blend.  They are a really comfortable pair of underwear.

The Frank Dandy Originals boxer-brief is a normal boxer-brief trunk cut made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane.  The elastic waist band is black with “Frank Dandy” in white lettering around the waist.  The boxer-brief is white with “Frank Daddy” in multicolored stenciling all over the boxer-brief.

I test-wore the boxer-briefs a couple of times to make sure I had a good idea of how they would perform while I was at work, the gym and just out and about.  I was very pleased with how well they performed.  At times it was like I wasn’t wearing anything at all!  Very comfortable to sit in all day (with or without other clothes on…), even when traveling in a car in Georgia’s humid spring heat!  I was a bit concerned with the gym since in my experience boxer-briefs tend to bunch up during crunches and cardio.  To my surprise, the Frank Dandy Originals stayed perfectly in place during my entire workout with no irritation at all!  Just like when I wore them through a normal day, it felt like I was wearing nothing at all at the gym.  Add to that they are easy to maintain: throw them in with your colored laundry on a cold wash, then stick them in the dryer and you’re done.

On the whole I had very few complaints about these boxer-briefs.  The first complaint I had was that they were a bit looser than what I was expecting.  I prefer my briefs and boxer-briefs to be nice and tight on me and these were a smidge too loose.  But this is a very minor complaint.  My major complaint was the styling on the boxer-briefs.  I felt at times like I was wearing a “happy birthday” banner as my underwear because of the bright, multi-colored Frank Dandy logo stenciled all over the white of the Originals.  It might have looked better if there had only been a couple of colors used in the stenciling, but five bright colors were a bit much.  That said, in the scheme of things these are fairly minor complaints.

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight with the first pair of underwear I was given for this, my first review for Underwear News Briefs.  But then love is blind and you’d almost have to be when you set your eyes on the Frank Dandy Fish Trunk.  Radioactive sea-foam green meets Christmas red piping are a color combination that did indeed make me smile throughout the day—you know, just the thought of wearing brave colors under khakis is a cheery notion, but the screen-printed koi motif prevented me from walking around the locker room in my skivvies.

Now, I promise this review will get more favorable if you stay with me, gentle reader, but allow me one more cynicism: Functional-fly briefs are usually suspect in my book because the pouch region is usually never adequate in them.  I require a lot of room up front, and fly briefs never seem to have the contoured pouch I prefer and I usually end up mitigating the Great Garment-Scrotal War, which is not attractive at a cocktail party to say the least.  But behold!  The Frank Dandy Fish Trunks were comfortable and supportive, and my cows didn’t try to escape.  The overlapped panels of the fly adjusted to my package and kept everything up and out.  So nicely supported was I that I wore them later that afternoon to the gym in lieu of my usual Bike jock.  The rear panel hugged nicely too I might add.

 

What I did like

  • the colors
  • the ample pouch
  • good butt underwear

A few things you didn’t like about the pair and how they can improve

Editors Note: Nick is a new writer/reviewer for UNB. Nick is an Atlanta-area underwear enthusiast who is always on the look-out for a great supportive pair of underwear or jockstrap. Briefs with pants. Jockstraps with jeans and gym gear. He usually goes commando in shorts all summer.

 

Frank Dandy is an underwear company out of Sweden and is known for it’s really fun and wild designs and patterns. This is one company not for the shy or those who want plain underwear. I first noticed the company about two years ago and they are never one to conform to standard rules of underwear.

I got to try the Big Logo Boxer. This pair is one with a black background with Frank Dandy Written in blue letters on.  I loved the design because you couldn’t tell what it was at first, but the longer you look you will see it’s the letters spelling out Frank Dandy.

As the regular readers know, I am not a big fan of boxer briefs. I prefer briefs or trunks. The legs of boxer briefs will ride up a lot and will just drive me crazy—short trip, I know. I was a little worried but they fit very well, held their shape and didn’t ride up. They weren’t as tight as I would have liked but if they put more elastic in the legs I probably would have liked them more.

If you are a fan of boxer briefs I think you should definitely check out some of the fun designs Frank Dandy has to offer.

What I liked:

  • The design is fun and cool
  • Great Waistband

What I didn’t Like:

  • Could have been a bit tighter, I prefer boxer briefs that are tight
  • More elastic in the leg opens would have been nice

It’s time for the annual Valentine’s Gift Guide.  Unlike last years guide, this is done using pictures from companies rather then being shot specifically for us.  Time was not cooperating with us to get it done.  We feel you will enjoy this as much as the previous ones.  We hope you enjoy the selections we chose.  We aim to make sure you and your man look incredible on Valentine’s Day!

We are giving you the choice of both classic and sexy pairs.   We know there are guys who prefer the classics and want choices to reflect their taste while others want something sexy that shows off or enhances.  We think we have both bases covered.  As always, please click on the pics to see a better, larger image.

Andrew Christian Gigalo Brief

We bring you two super sexy pairs from Andrew Christian.  We think the Gigolo Brief (left) and Boxer (right) would be great pairs for Valentine’s Day.  Both of these are made of sheer material and show off all you have to offer.  The Brief is $18 and the boxer is $23.  You can get both pairs at AndrewChristian.com.

We can recommend the following pairs from aussieBum.

  • First up (on top) is the Classic Red Brief.  This is for the guy that wants something to show off the colors of Valentine’s but still wants to remain classic.
  • Next is the WJPro (bottom left).  This is the the new Wonder Jock line.  It takes what’s given and shows it off.  Think of it as a wonder bra for men!
  • Lastly from aussieBum is the Valentines pair.  Do you remember seeing the bunnies pair last year?  If so, this is a similar pattern in a boxer.  They are fun and imagine the looks you’ll when your pants come off!

You can get all three pairs from aussiebum.com.

Baskit is a company that allows you to have classical styles and be sexy at the same time.  The new lines have very classic looks but in new colors and designs.

  • The first pair we think would be awesome is the Ribbed Jock Brief (top).  The front looks like a brief while the back is designed like a jock.  It’s a mix between the two.
  • The next pair is the Utility Boxer Brief in pink (bottom left).  Pink has been an increasing color trend and is great for the occasion.  I love the design and use of white material.
  • Lastly is the Light Brief (bottom right).  It’s perfect for the guy who wants something sexy but not too different.  We definitely recommend the red!

All these can be purchased from the Baskit website.   If you are lucky between now and Valentine’s, there may be a $12 Tuesday!

We don’t want to forget those in the Southern Hemisphere or those taking a nice romantic trip to a location in the tropics.  Boy Rio has recently released new underwear and really great swimwear.

  • Boy Rio has a super sexy underwear line that includes the Xtreme Low Cut brief (left) that we think is awesome for Valentine’s night.
  • If you are going to a tropical location, you should try the PoolBlu “sunga” style Brazilian swimsuit (right).  There’s a  bit more coverage than a swim brief since it’s based on the swimsuits of Brazil.

You can get these directly from the Boy Rio website!

A company we had to include is Cocksox.  They have been featured on UNB many times in the past and they will continue to be a part of our underwear family.  We feel they have two great pairs for Valentine’s Day.  Cocksox is a company that believes underwear should be fun and sexy, driving them to create new styles that show off what you have…and then some!

  • One of the sexiest pairs is the CX01ME, which is the classic brief made of mesh.  It has the traditional pouch in a bikini cut. (left)
  • The classic brief CX01 is also a must have.  The pair is created to lift and show off.  Red would be our recommended color for the occasion. (right)

You can get these pairs from the Cocksox website.

Dead Good Undies has some really super sexy HOM products.  If you aren’t familiar with HOM, this is the perfect chance to try them out.  They are a brand that has been around in Europe for a while, but we here in the states rarely see them except for online.  They are very well made and generally smaller cuts than we are used too but they look awesome and fit amazingly.

  • If you want more of a trunk cut, try the Valentine Hipsters.  They have great colors, but for Valentine’s Day, go with the red, as pictured, or pink. (left)
  • There is no better holiday for thongs! The HOM String Twinpacks will make a statement to your special love.  They will know you are in the mood for romance after dinner. (Right)

These are available from Dead Good Undies.

There is a new company on the scene and it’s called Diego Barberi!  They are based out of Switzerland and currently only have a trunk style.  We are reviewing two pairs and those will be posted soon.  Until then, we want you to check out the pair called Ibex.  They are a red trunk with a white embroidered design.  They are initially beginning with a small line but we hope to see more from them soon.  They may be new but they definitely would be great for this occasion.  You can bring a Swiss styling to your undies drawer!  These can be purchased directly from the Diego Barberi website, but make sure you click the English link at the top unless English isn’t your only language.

Erogenos has some really great pairs for Valentine’s.  If you are not familiar with them, they are known for having super sexy and fun underwear.  It’s not plain and boring at Erogenos.  I would say they are one of the “go to” sites for sexy!

  • What special day wouldn’t be complete without animal print?  Well how about an animal print thong!  It’s definitely shows that you are ready to be an animal yourself.  The Pikante Jaguar G-String is perfect for bringing out the animal in you.  (left)
  • Another really great, sexy brand is Gregg Homme.  We’ve said they are bringing sexy back and doing it well.  The pair for them is another thong and is the Commando Thong.  It’s small, fun, and made of super stretchy material. (center)
  • Last is a new brand called Narciso.  Narciso is out of Buenos Aries that facilitates form fitting designs and bright colors.  This is proof in the Narciso Boxer.  The black stripes with red highlights make the pair really fun. (right)

These pairs are available at the Erogenos website.

Next on our guide is Frank Dandy.  Frank Dandy is known for great designs and great colors.  The pairs we chose for this is the Five Star Brief and Trunk.  We  think these would be the perfect addition to your underwear collection.  You can wear them really at anytime, but to us, they seem like a fantastic choice for Valentine’s Day.  We wanted to pick a wild print but thought these would be a much better choice.  You can get these from the Frank Dandy website.

Geovanny is one of the companies I don’t think many people have seen.  I really love his take on underwear design.  He has taken a classic design and put a new, innovative spin on it.  The pair we chose is the red brief with white trim.  They are a more full cut but still just as sexy.  The front seam accents the pouch in a new way that I haven’t seen from other designers.  To purchase this pair, go to the Geovanny website!

Again, we don’t want to forget those in the Southern Hemisphere and those planning a romantic trip southward.  Marcuse is a swimwear company out of Australia.  Over the last few years, Australia has become one of the major players in the  underwear/swimwear market.  Marcuse is one of the newest and hottest swimwear companies around today.  The pair we chose is the Arrest Me swimsuit in red.  This is a very brief design of swimwear.  This would be great for a romantic beach getaway!  It’s not for the shy, so be ready to show it all off.  You can get this pair from the Marcuse website.

N2N Bodywear is a necessity in a Valentine’s Day guide.  They have always care about the sensuality of men.  Every new line they release is about showing off a man’s body.  This includes underwear, swimwear, and workout wear.  The pair that would be great for the holiday is the N2N  Freedom Bikini.  It’s got a signature waistband and comes in blue and red.  Either pair you purchase would be great to wear out to dinner.  You can get this pair from the N2N Bodywear website

Are you ready for some RED?  If so, then we have you covered with Olaf Benz.  Olaf Benz is a brand that originally hit the fashion scene in Germany and has spread across the globe.  When I first saw these, I was WOW’ed!  They are so fun!  I think I literally said “FUN” when I opened the email.

  • The first picture features the Squrepant and Carreshirt.  Both are form fitting and would make a great combination.  Be warned that they are super sexy and body conscious! (left)
  • Maybe you simply want some fun, red briefs.  You should try the Sportbrief.  It’s perfect for that active guy in your life.  You can wear it more than just to dinner or a day out since it gives you great support. (center)
  • You might want to show off.  If that’s the case, you definitely need to try the Stringtanga.  It has two straps that run around back and a pouch.  It’s definitely not for the faint of heart.

You can find these awesome selections at the Olaf Benz website.

You may remember Beyond Big Branding from our long johns giveaway.  They also have other great underwear selections.  Specifically speaking, the Piss & Vinegar brand.  We have reviewed these and they are some of the most comfy underwear around.  They are very stretchy and conform to your body.  The pair we chose is the Spectrum Low Rise in red.  They are another classical style but with great materials and do not fit like traditional undies.  You can purchase these from the Beyond Big Branding website.

Speaking of giveaways, currently we are running our Ristefsky Macheda giveaway.  It’s going great and they have created really awesome packs for you for Valentine’s Day.  In today’s economy, that is a really great thing!  They give you two items for a really great price for those who want to try Ristefsky Macheda.  If that doesn’t get you, maybe free world wide shipping with no minimum order will peak your interest.  These packs include the  Swim Gym, which is a great new swim style (and super sexy) and  a shorter men’s swimwear trunk that mocks an old school gym short.  These are available in four great colors.  These are currently exploding in Melbourne!

  • The first is the Retro Inspired Gift Pack.  You receive a Striped Low Rise Brief in Red/Gray and then a Tetro Low Rise Brief in Charcoal and red!  (top)
  • The next is the Red Dare Underwear Gift Pack.  This one is all about red!  It includes one Dare Low Rise Brief in and a Dare Low Rise Trunk.  We’ve reviewed the Dare line and it performed very highly in our standards. (bottom left)
  • The last pack is the Swim Gym and Dare Low rise brief.  This includes the Dare Low Rise in Red and the new Swim Gym in red. Both are extremely sexy in our eyes.

To order these packs, go to the Ristefsky Macheda website and select “Underwear”.  They are available and with FREE SHIPPING!

Timoteo is up next on our guide.  This is a brand we have watched grow in the last few years.  It’s wonderful seeing such a great brand become popular and do well.  They started with the classic line and then expanded into Quake and now the Sport line.  We are bringing you the last two lines for the guide.

  • The first pair is the Quake Brief in pink.  This isn’t a pastel pink but a bold, bright pink! You will definitely make a statement when you wear it. (Left)
  • The second pair is the Athlete New Jock, part of the Sport line.  It’s a brief with a jock back.  We think the black with red is perfect for Valentine’s Day.

To order these, go to the Timoteo website!

Todd Sanfield Underwear is a new addition to the underwear scene.  It’s founder is Todd Sanfield who has graced the cover of DNA Magazine three times.  He has modeled underwear and decided to create an underwear line himself.  He has created a line with superior fit, great quality, and incredible durability.  The line is now available and the red briefs above are our choice!  To check out the entire collection, go to the Todd Sanfield Underwear website!

We have only a few more companies left and how could we produce a guide and not include Undergear.com?  They have been one of the founding  companies in the world of mail-order underwear.  They were around before we knew what the Internet was, provideing us with the International Male and UnderGear catalogs with the latter still available today.

  • The Extreme Jock Trunk is the perfect pair in which to play cupid.  It is a trunk that features a really great pouch. (top)
  • Maybe you need or want to wear silk.  If so, the Extreme Collection Silk Trunk is prefect for you.  The pair has a contour enhancing pouch so you have no problem showing off!  (bottom left)
  • Are you a fan of 2(x)ist?  If so, you need to check out the Valentine’s Contour Brief.  The interesting thing about this pair is it has “Love Me” sewn into the waistband! (bottom center)
  • Last is another choice of swimwear.  If you are going on a trip, you may not want a swim brief, but maybe you want something more conservative and just as sexy.  Try the Tactics Tahiti Swim Trunks.  They are a short type that can be worn as your swimwear or a cover-up for something underneath. (bottom right)

All these can be found at Undergear.com.

Underwear Station has some terrific pairs that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.  We had trouble picking only four pairs.  There are so many from Joe Snyder, Gigo, and more to choose from.  We managed to whittle our selections down to four from Good Devil and Intymen.  Both new brands are really making a splash in the US market.

  • The first is to hot for us to show you on UNB.  It’s the Good Devil Mesh Boxer.  The front is pure mesh and completely see through!  As you see, we only show the back.  We suggest this selection for the bold.  You can’t be shy and wear this pair. (top left)
  • Jocks are something we haven’t profiled on our Valentine’s guide, but this time, we did with the Good Devil Mesh Jock!  It’s another “too hot” for UNB!  It features a mesh pouch and allows the person you’re with enjoy it as much as you will enjoy wearing it. (top right)
  • Our next choice is Intymen.  We didn’t want to go totally sexy and mesh for everything, so we chose the Swing Enhance Brief.  It has a built in package hammock that shows off what you have to offer!  (bottom left)
  • Lastly is the Intymen Slot Boxer.  It’s a trunk cut with an almost open side.  It is connected by six horizontal straps.  It’s a very sexy design and prefect for a romantic encounter!

You can purchase these directly from the Underwear Station website.

We wrap-up our guide with Unico.  Here, you will find that amazing “Unico” pouch that is ergonomically designed to fit men like a glove.  They also are not afraid of color or patterns.  The pairs we chose, we hope, will give you endless moments of comfort and pleasure.

  • The Classic Mid Boxer, in red, is for those who like a little more coverage and a great fit.  It covers down to the mid-thigh and has the signature Unico waistband.  It’s literally perfect for any day. (left)
  • If you are searching for color that isn’t traditional for Valentine’s Day, give the Vivaz Short a try.  It features pink, black, and blue color bands.  It is a pair that can be perfect for any date night as it is different and fun.  Well, that’s our opinion at UNB and this would definitely match that criteria. (right)

Frank Dandy

Frank Dandy Underwear

Frank Dandy is a brand that was created to combat the world of boring solid colored underwear. They are known for their innovative patterns and designs. This brand is not for the reserved guy. If you want to express yourself in your undies as well, then you need to be checking out Frank Dandy!

It its a man very well and gives great support through the day. Then they add in colors, prints and patterns to let a man be comfortable yet stylish in at the same time. It’s a brand where form meets function!

Pipe Underwear


Pipe Underwear hit the underwear scene a few years ago. They make a splash with their innovative photography and designs. But, they didn’t sit back and relax. They have come out with a new line that from the first look is very conservative, but has some great styling. They are using blacks and whites but they aren’t the boring undies of the 90’s. The use of piping and silvers turns the lines into something fun. Pipe Underwear is definitely a brand you should be following!

Left to Right:

  • Erik is wearing the Black Racing Square Cut

WildmanT


WildmanT was one of the first to produce enhancing underwear. Two years ago they created the Ball Lifter (R) technology and since then they have come out with a range of underwear to really show off what you have.  As their website says “All our products create the fullest package possible while maintaining style and comfort.” If you haven’t been to their site you should go. The owner and creator WildmanT aka Tim, is the model as well!

Timoteo


Timoteo is a brand that is really taking off. Known for their incredible photography and great fitting undies, they have taken the underwear world by storm the last two years. It’s very interesting how the line started. Timoteo was head designer at the Baby Phat line created by Russell and Kimora Simmons. He left there and in 2001 created his own store in West Hollywood. He concentrated on men’s clothing but in 2006 he introduced swimwear and the rest is history! The TIMOTEO line recognizes great fashion but also understands that style, fit, and comfort are the key to its success.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Classic Red Briefs along with the Angel Wings Necklace
  • Rob is wearing the Wave Racer Swimsuit

These pairs were furnished by Timoteo.

McKillop U/W


McKillop U/W is one of the new kids on the block. They were furnished last year and their main focus is jocks. We have many readers who love jocks and wear them exclusively. The head designer and owner Ryan wanted to create a line  of “Jockstraps and Pouches for the men who demand comfort and style without padding and branding being the main focus of the underwear.” McKillop uses colors and mesh to really give a new look to the traditional jock! If you are a fan of jocks you need to give McKillop a once over!

Left to Right:

  • Matt is wearing the Power Flip and Reveal Pouch
  • Corey is wearing the  Power Extension Jock in Blue
  • Corey is wearing the Power Extension Jock in Black

These pairs were furnished by McKillop U/W

Cocksox


Cocksox is the self-proclaimed sexiest underwear on the planet! It is an enhancing brand that uses a specially designed pouch to show off exactly what you have. Cocksox is out of Australia and has grown to be one of the biggest brands there. They have expanded and are making in roads into the US Market. The underwear is made out of supplex and is thicker then pure cotton undies. The underwear will conform to your body and is ergonomically designed. It will be comfortable through out the day and move with you.

N Haven


N Haven is a line from UnderGear. Undergear has several private lines that are being redesigned from the ground up. I got to meet with them back in August and I’m really excited to see what they do. We are featuring the Fall Boxers here. They are all a fall/winter theme that is perfect for lounging around on a winter night. We are featuring two pairs here but you can see more at the UnderGear site.

Left to Right:

  • Corey is wearing the AJ789 Snow Flakes Boxer
  • Jordan is wearing the AJ789 Snow Flakes Boxer

These pairs were furnished by UnderGear.

Pikante


Are you ready to get WILD? Pikante‘s new line that came out is all about animal print. I know what you are thinking but these aren’t the 70’s tacky animal prints, they are fun and sexy. They range from the traditional (Tiger, leopard and more) to newer and innovative prints (Owl Feather,  snake and blue tiger). It’s a really fun and sexy line. Glad to see someone doing animal prints right!

Left to Right:

  • Erik is wearing the Cheetah Cheeky Boxer – Black
  • Rob is wearing the Python New Brief
  • Erik is wearing the Anaconda Boxer
  • Jordan is wearing the Feather Owl New Brief

These pairs were furnished by Pikante

Candyman


Candyman is just pure fun. They have the costume underwear featuring cowboy, prisoner, devil and more! But, you may not know they have a line of underwear. The line is one that is not for the shy. They are bold, colorful and shiny! If you want to show off what you have then the pairs with cut outs, thongs and metallic materials will be perfect for you.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Blue Brief
  • Rob is earing the Hot Pink Detachable Thong
  • Rob is wearing the Silver Brief
  • Corey is wearing the Black and White Stripes Brief

These pairs were furnished by Candyman

PPU


PPU is another of those fun brands. Yes, they have some traditional briefs and boxer briefs. Then, they have some really interesting approaches to taking a classic like a jock and turning it into their own. They don’t follow the regular rules of underwear. They see something and put their twist on it. That includes jocks, bikinis and thongs. Its great to see a company that is doing their own thing.

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the 967 Boxer Briefs
  • Middle is wearing the 965 Jock
  • Cory is wearing the 967 one piece

These pairs were furnished by PPU

Clever


Do you want something masculine but fun? Then Clever is the underwear for you. Their slogan is “Masculine Underwear.” They want to make underwear for men not afraid to show their masculinity. They take masculine feelings and turn them into prints, patterns and designs. They are fun without being over the top. Men who are confident and driven are the kind of guy that Clever is after!

Left to Right:

  • Jordan is wearing the Reticulated Classic Brief White 5076
  • Erik is wearing the Cozumel Swimsuit Brief Black 0528
  • Rob is wearing the Vintage Boxer 2070

These pairs were furnished by Cleaver.

Baskit


Baskit is not just a regular underwear company. They are a company that focuses on quality, design and style. You can tell that in the last few collections they have released. The lines would include: Utility, Snugfitseamless and Finelines. So, they are for the true underwear lover. If you buy your underwear in packs of 5, then Baskit isn’t for you. I love that Baskit is not afraid of color. They use bright and fun colors in the underwear. If you like these check out all the lines they offer

Left to Right:

  • Top left is wearing the Unility Brief in Pink
  • Top Right is wearing the Contrast Jock Brief in Blue
  • Bottom left is wearing the Action Cool Mesh Brief in Orange
  • Bottom right is wearing  the Sawed off Mesh Brief in Red

These pairs were furnished by Baskit.

Bum Chums, Doreanse & ManStore


Dead Good Undies is the only online store to send us underwear. They are out of the UK and offer some of the most innovative and cutting edge underwear around. They sent us three really fun brands; Bum Chums, Doreanse and Manstore. Bum Chums are a “cheeky” brand out of the UK. They are bright fun and have a lot of metallic! While Doreanse you have seen in The Reasons video we posted this past week. Lastly is Manstore, which is a brand that just is all about sexy. They have smaller cuts, mesh and leather like materials. All three are for a guy who is confident and wants to have some serious fun with his underwear. We hope you enjoy these and will check out more.

Pistol Pete


Pistol Pete is one if the first companies to do 3-D underwear! They are a brand that’s not afraid to think outside the box when designing underwear. That includes this season collection. Some of the current lines are inspired by cities and places. They aren’t just underwear they also have a very large swimwear and shirt line. The underwear from Pistol Pete you can definitely tie into your over all style. They aren’t plain and simple. They are made to compliment and add to your wardrobe.

DMK Designs


DMK Designs is a brand we have covered since the start of the blog. It was founded by Diane who is a former Vegas show girl who went back to school to get her MBA and started a men’s underwear line. Diane wanted to create a line because she was tired of men seeing bad underwear. She has come out with some really fun lines. Those included the animal print made out of unexpected colors. Which were some of the most innovative I have seen. She is now working in mesh and has created a pouch that doesn’t have a seam down the middle. I know we will see some really fun and creative designs from her soon!

Left to Right:

  • Left is wearing the Down Under Enhancing Jock in Coral
  • Right is wearing the X-Lo Swimmer in Peacock Blue

These Pairs were furnished by DMK Designs

Gregg Homme


Our last brand is one that is bringing sexy back to the world of men’s underwear. That line is Gregg Homme. They are one of the most innovative with mesh. The current lines are one that really shows off everything.  From their site: “Design is a dialogue of ideas: it appeals, speaks or creates controversy and GREGG HOMME constantly innovates with unimaginable designs and functionalities to feed the insatiable taste of men for provocation and seduction.” This includes using the latest in technology. The example of this is the Bandito line. The shirts and underwear have cutouts with mesh. The fabrics are fused together rather then sown. They are a brand positioned between lust and fantasy.

Left to Right

  • Left is wearing the Predator Trunk
  • Center is wearing the X Rated Maximizer Jock
  • Right is wearing the Bandito Brief

These Pairs were furnished by Gregg Homme.

We hope you enjoy this guide. We will have another one just in time for Valentines Day! We will give you some great ideas for the perfect pair to wear or give your Valentine. I want to thank all the companies that participated and NorCalBodz and the models!

Frank Dandy Superwear!  I had never heard of this company, so this pair of underwear was a pleasant surprise.  The complany was founded in Sweden in 2003 as an anti-tighty-whitey company.  As you know, the tighty whitey can be a bit predictable and it is always good to have underwear that adds spice to your life.  The products from this company include underwear, leisurewear, beachwear, and accessories.  The patterns challenge what one thinks when pondering what a pair of mens underwear should be comprised of and really pushes the limits.  Precisely, the underwear is called Men’s Hayman Boxer, Raspberry, 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane.  This pair is navy blue with a white palm frond pattern and raspberry waistband.

I modeled the new pair in the mirror and found them to be exciting underwear.  I really liked the fit.  I found the fabric to be soft and flexible, having just the right amount of support in all areas.  This boxer brief has an almost flat front which I found to be the right flexibility for me.  The leg length hit mid-thigh.  Waistband width was a plus at 1.75” (4.45 cm) since I do not care for a large waistband.  The overall stitching on the pair of underwear was nice and looked good with the natural line of the male form.

After I commuted to work for an hour and a half and spent the day working, I found this pair of underwear to not ride up with normal wear and was comfortable over a long period of time.  My experience reveals no major complaints about this boxer brief.  The size large was a great fit for me as well.  Underwear sizing is not totally universal and, frankly, never seems to go with the size of your pants.  I found that the large was a great fit for size 34 pants and would probably be good for a size 32-36 with regular washing, drying, and wear.

After reviewing the Frank Dandy website, I have to say that I am impressed with the pattern selection, cut, and style offered from this company.  The entire selection is one that I would enjoy trying.  The fabric and cut are the main things  making us want to try more of this brand.

These were provided by Kingston Lounge Now, North American Distributor for Frank Dandy.

I met Frank Dandy at Curve and have struck up a great relationship with them. They are distributors based here in the Atlanta and have some really fun and great underwear. The thing I like best about Frank Dandy is they do some really cool things with prints. They aren’t boring and plain.

I got probably the most conservative pair they have. The Frank Brief. They have a really great waistband. Which you now I love. It’s a blue, white and red waistband. A little thicker, but felt great. If you aren’t a fan of wider waistbands you may stick to the regular.

The brief fit great. I liked the fit and feel of them. They were made out of a nylon blend that really breathed thought out the day. One thing that I know you guys may like is they are an awesome gym pair. They are simple in styling but fit great. I’m sure you wouldn’t draw too much attention to yourself.

These are perfect for those of you wanting a great pair to wear to the gym but still be stylish and not draw too much attention to yourself. I really enjoyed them and will wear them often.

I have to admit right off the bat that I am not much of a boxer briefs guy.  When I first received these Frank Dandy Pitch Boxer Briefs, I was a little hesitant.  I pulled them out of the packaging, however, and they looked more like a square-cut brief than a boxer brief.  Either way, the fit of these is amazing and the fabric is so soft, causing these to be towards the top of my underwear drawer.

To start off, the Pitch Boxer Brief looks good.  They have a college style to them that isn’t over the top but adds flair.  The pin stripes are not something I see on undies often, but it’s something I really like.  They also added a slight 70’s styling with the small cuts up the side.  Secondly, the fabric is soft and fits well.  The only downfall to this is if you are lacking a butt, like me.  They don’t hug your buns, leaving them a little baggy in the rear.  They held their shape well and never rode up, even though the legs don’t have tight elastic around them.

The Pitch Boxer Brief was my first interaction with Frank Dandy.  I have to stay I am really happy with the fit, material, and overall styling.  I will definitely revisit Frank Dandy again.

Curve Expo Registration DeskThe Curve Expo was held at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas on August 16-18th. It is the only Lingerie and Men’s Underwear show in the Las Vegas area. I was able to go and talk to many of the lines there. It’s really great to sit down and talk with brands about the new lines. I am not covering everything I learned; the post would be amazingly long. But I plan to do more in depth posts when the lines are available to purchase.

Gregg Homme at Curve

Gregg Homme

I was able to sit down with Gregg Homme and talk to them about what’s coming up this next year. The one thing that I think they are doing well is sexy. You know there is a line between sexy and cheap and they constantly stay on the sexy side. The new lines coming out use mesh, animal print and more! I am going to go over the ones I took picks of (from left to right):

Gregg Homme Revolutionary HyperstretchGregg Homme Bandito Front

Gregg Homme Bandito BackGregg Homme Predator Line

  • Revolutionary Hyperstretch. It’s a pair that really molds to your body. It’s a strong fabric but amazing.
  • Bandito – This was really cool it has mesh cut outs. It has a skull and cross bones, mud flap girl, bull and tribal. The mesh panel is fused in the material so it won’t come undone. It has matching shirts as well! They are very cool
  • Predator – I recieved and email a few weeks back about animal print underwear. Well, here it is from Gregg Homme. It’s leopard print and a lot of fun. It’s from a g-string to a trunk
  • Hercules – This one that ads a little shine to your dress. Its in a thong and trunk but the trunk’s pouch is detachable and sheer. The metal chain is detachable.

I saw all these and they have the line from last year. Gregg Homme is making high quality sexy undies. You know how sometimes you can get undies and they only last one or two wearing, with Gregg Homme you can have them for a while! We will go into detail when the line is out!

Gigo and Joe Snyder at Curve Expo

Gigo

The one thing I LOVE about GIgo is the colors they use. It’s always bright and fun! This collection is no different. They aren’t afraid of using patterns. Many companies and this is not a slam on them, but they stick to the traditional. Gigo doesn’t and the colors they usually have are vibrant and bright. The favorite of mine is the Lover Boy Brief. It’s a pattern with a white background with gold thread, You may not see the gold in pics but it pops in person. The other line I like is the Picnic line. They have blue and pink plaid. Its’ a lot of fun. I won’t go into too much detail, but look for more!

Joe Snyder
Joe Snyder has one really cool thing that is coming out it’s the JS23 the Man Up! It’s been available in just black, but coming shortly will be in colors. It’s been one of their best sellers. It’s an enhancing piece that really shows off what you have in undies and under your clothes

Good Devil

Are you ready for a new line? How about something sexy? Well Good Devil is for you. It’s not for the shy! It’s a lot of mesh and a really fun line. It’s also one line we can’t show you a lot of, due to the mesh. They are just now launching and we will see a lot more of them. They have mesh and cut outs that really show off pretty much everything. They do have some tame ones, if you want to wear something sexy but not showing it all off! You will start seeing this in stores shortly, there is going to be an exclusive coming up that we will heavily promote! So stay tuned for that and get ready for sexy!

Intymen

This is another new line that you should start seeing shortly. It’s a line that has some traditional colors and look but with a new fit. I haven’t tried them but they are more traditional. But traditional is not boring. They have been designed to fit very well. They have briefs, trunks and the usual underwear you would expect. But they aren’t traditional cuts. They have a little different pouch and I am expecting a really great fit. Its not limited to traditional they have some sexy, but not over the top designs. They are perfect for a date night. The last things you will see are the enhancing line. They enhance the backside and one does both back and front. I want to do a full post on enhancing underwear soon.

DMK Designs

We have covered DMK since we started the blog. Dianne there has always done new and innovative designs. I got a chance to sit down and talk about the new underwear she designed for the show. The first thing that really stood out was the new pouch for the mesh designs. Just about anytime you have seen a mesh pouch in men’s underwear there is a seam down the center. Dianne has come up with a design that creates a pouch but moves the seam from the center. It is really something innovative. The ones at the show were samples so I am not sure the exact release date will be but as soon as it’s shot and ready to go, we’ll let you know

Tory George Modeling for Cocksox at Curve Expo

Cocksox

I thought it was amazing that I got to meet Cocksox. They came all the way from Australia just for the show. They also used model Tory George from NorCalBodz! So we were really happy about that, and they do have some great new styles coming out. I even have a picture of Tory in them but I have been sworn to secrecy! And it’s killing me cause you now how much I love, I mean LOVE Cocksox. But I will say that they are just as awesome in person as over email. I really hope they come back to a show, but it’s a long way, but I think they would do amazing in the US Market. I remember the first time I saw them and was in awe; little did I know 4 years later I’d be working with them! I will being you more in depth as it comes out, I PROMISE.

Tulio at Curve Featuring Model Jaon Stotz

Tulio at Curve Featuring Model Jaon StotzTulio at Curve Featuring Model Jaon Stotz

Tulio

We have never had a chance to talk to Tulio. I got introduced to them and they have some really great swimwear and underwear coming out this year. We talked about the blog. We have them in our spring swim guide for sure. We built the start of a good relationship and will be bringing you more about their lines in the next few months. Tulio is a company that has done really great swimwear. They had a lot at the show and I got a few pictures of their model in a few of the newer looks. I will bring more information about the line very soon.

MaleBasics at Curve Expo

MaleBasics

MaleBasics is going in a new way. They are doing Male Lingerie. Which I know many of you out there are going what? But they have had some good success with the line. The line is basically lingerie for men. It’s made out of lace and other materials. It is an interesting line that is for sure. We are in the process of writing the line up. They haven’t gone total lingerie; they still have the Malebasics line as well.  This includes the contrast and microfiber lines. They are traditional underwear with a pouch design. Their model is a Chippendale’s dancer in Vegas.

Frank Dandy

If you have been reading the blog in the last month you saw a lot of Frank Dandy with the Brief Distraction at the Sobe Men’s Show. They are a brand out of Sweden that is known for it’s really great patterns, colors and prints. They haven’t been very big in the states but they are really making inroads to the US market. I received a pair there to review, they are pink and fun! I also found out that the warehouse is located in the Atlanta area, right around the corner from where I live. I am going to go over there and find out a lot more about the brand! It will be it’s own exclusive of UNB!

Report Collection, Saxx Apparel, JM, Whittall and Shon, Bend the Rules, Hugo Boss, and Calvin Klein.

All of these brands I talked to briefly. We will be continuing to work with Saxx, they are out of Canada and do really innovative and new underwear for sports and the active guy. Report Collection has been in Europe and is finally coming to the States. You have seen them in a few companies like Planet Undies or other European Underwear companies.

I also met a few retailers and store merchants. We want to include them on the site and profile some of the smaller retailers. There is also a new store opening in NYC for undies. We are excited about it and will let you know when it’s open. I met the owners while at Curve and they should be open shortly!

I will be attending the next Curve Expo in February 2011. I plan on going every six-months to the show to bring you the most up to date information. I hope you enjoy the show coverage and the videos. They will be out this week as well. Check out our YouTube channel and I will post them over the next week.

Up tomorrow is the recap of Magic! I hope you enjoy.
