McKillop U/W Underwear

Category


Andrew Christian is having another 17% off sale! This time it features the Almost Naked Riviera Bikini and the Super Mesh Jock with Show-It Technology.

The Almost Naked Riviera Bikini is part of the new swimwear line. It’s anatomically correct, fade resistant and made in the USA.

The Super Mesh Jock has maximum frontal support, no hidden straps and regular/slim fit.

You can get these at the Andrew Christian Site.

WE’VE GOT THE POWER!

Canadian designer Ryan McKillop has done it again with his all new Power line. The main difference between this and his Classic range is not only an improved softer plushed waistband but also an incredible super-stretch see-through mesh fabric for the pouch. If you’re a fan of the original line of pouches and you don’t mind showing off a bit more (due to the see-through mesh) then you’re going to love the Power line.

The strapless Power Pouch has a soft vented fully contoured four way stretch mesh pouch for a stunning lifted package and ultimate bulge. As it contains no leg straps or strings there are no visible underwear lines under clothing. The pouch includes a fabric loop at its base that slips around your dick and balls to hold the pouch securely in place.

The Power Jock design has all the features of the pouch above with added support provided by the traditional ¾ inch leg straps.

We’ve got both the pouches and jockstraps in four colors – black, white, turquoise and a brilliant lime green.

I am back from Magic/Curve and I must admit it’s a great time but it wears you out. I know you are saying “you go talk to underwear makers/designers and see underwear models, what’s so hard about that?” Well, the amount of walking in Las Vegas is mind blowing. I am always worn out after the shows.

One thing I really noticed was jocks. I have seen them around but they seem to be a lot more prevalent this year. Most of the collections I saw had at least one jock if not more. There seems to be a rebirth going on for the jock.

Collections where I saw jocks are:

These are the ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Jocks are no longer the Bike #10 traditional jock. They are made out of mesh, spandex and sometimes lace. Jocks also have lace up pouches (like shoes), more then one strap and cross between briefs and jocks. If you had asked me a few years ago if you could improve on the jock, I would never have guessed all the innovations designers have come up with.

Then you have companies that have built businesses on jockstraps. The two that come to mind are Jockstrap Central and McKillop U/W. Jockstrap Central is your main store for anything jock related. You name it they will probably have it in jocks. Last year they scored the extremely hard to get Bike #10. They wouldn’t tell me how they did it but I know it wasn’t easy! Second, McKillop U/W has done some amazing work in designing new and great fitting jocks. They have color, an amazing pouch and even new materials. They are doing some great work and if you love jocks I say you try them.

This week alone we saw the release of two new jocks. The first was from Bone Wear and the second was from Pipe. It seems each week we see more and more jocks. That is the reason I pushed this post back to Friday. I was going to post it on Wed but the release of two jocks in one week kind of made my point.

Kinkwear Jock from Jockstrap CentralMcKillop U/W

Am I alone in thinking this? Have you guys seen more jocks? What innovations have you seen that you loved? Leave a comment here or on Facebook and let us know!

We love it here when there are new takes on classics in the world of underwear. It now makes me think of new ways to do the tighty whities! Hey if it can happen to jocks why not tighty whities?

The pic at the top is the new Pipe Jock, which I forgot to include on yesterday’s post for Pipe.

This is the first chance we had to review McKillop U/W underwear.  I was really excited.  Ryan has done great work in the area of jocks.  He’s taken a classic pair of men’s underwear and made it his own.  I love to see this from a company.

They have been around for over a year.  He’s taken jocks and added colors and one of the best pouches I have worn in some time.  The pouch is stretchy and fits you like a glove.  This was my favorite part of the review.

The construction is also top notch.  You can tell time and care was used and they wanted to make undies that last and fit awesomely.  The materials will hold up for every day use, a night on the town, or even worn during sporting events!

The pouch on these is made of mesh.  Mesh is a big trend in men’s underwear.  I don’t see that trend disappearing soon since it has really taken off.  I loved that he uses all colors of mesh and not just black.  He’s stepped outside the box and created something great.  The mesh, however, was also my only problem.  You may say the seam would be the problem but he’s thought ahead and put the seam on the outside.  Very smart thinking, if you ask me!  The mesh simply annoyed me throughout the day.  I am not sure if it was a personal preference or the materials.

I wore them all day and at certain times, not all the time, it sort of made things uncomfortable.  These maybe the perfect date pair if you are looking for something sexy and fun.  I will wear them but not for all day use.

Welcome to the 2010 UNB Holiday Guide! These guides are a lot of fun to do, but a lot of work! We start in August contacting all the companies involved, and then have it sent to the photographer, having everything shot then put up on the site. The pairs included are some of what we think will be great gifts for the man in your life or some just for you!

This guide was shot by the awesome folks at NorCalBodz. If you are familiar with our guides you have seen their work on our site. They have done our previous guides and we have profiled them in many Brief Distractions. The models we used in this guide are: Jordan Preston, Rob Patrick, Erik Rossi, Corey Christiansen and Matt McCaleb. We want to thank them and NorCalBodz for doing an awesome job for us.

Now with out any further waiting here is the guide for 2010!

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.

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.

If you are a fan of jocks you need to give McKillop a once over!

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.

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!

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.

Jocks are always a style that many guys find hot. They can be used for both form and function. I was researching how jocks were invented and remembered that Jockstrap Central has a history of jocks. There were two stories on how they were invented, the first is a Finnish athlete invented them. The second and more probable one is the Bike company invented them in 1874. Either way we are glad they were invented.

Today’s jocks are really divided into two separate styles, Swimmers or Traditional. Traditional jocks have the 3 inch waistband, where as the simmers have the 1 inch waist band. This is kind of a crude dividing section because in the last few years jocks have really come into the world of underwear and is no longer something you just wear in the locker room. We now have mesh, spandex, colors and new designs.

We are going to profile a few of the traditional and new jocks that are out there today. Jocks are just as diverse as any other underwear style.

  • McKillop U/W No. 1.5 Jock – McKillop has taken the jock to the next level. They have added comfort and function in one. They are perfect for wearing to the gym or just as every day wear. They may look plain but designer Ryan McKillop wanted the jocks he designs to be free from padding and branding. McKillop only makes jocks and pouch (without straps), so their main focus is making the best jock available
  • Bike #10 Jockstrap – This is the classic jock many great up wearing. They were pretty much standard issue for any sports you played in High School or College. They have the 3 inch waistband and pouch made out of nylon. These used to be one of the few jocks and only in the white color. In the 90’s they branched out to black and then to other colors. When most people think of Jocks this is what they think of, but Bike discontinued these in the US and Jockstrap Central is the only place you can get them. Bike changed the design and made them more ergonomically for men. Some have said the newer jocks just don’t fit as well as this pair.
  • Nasty Pig Rubber Jock 2.0 – Jocks have always been part of the fetish world. Its part of the masculinity and also the design. Jocks have a full pouch and an open seat. Nasty Pig has done some interesting things with jocks. The one we are profiling is the rubber jock. It’s yellow with a black racing stripe on the pouch, and the pouch is made out of rubber. This jock is definitely made for showing rather then hiding under clothes. They have made this jock in many colors and continue to make better with each version.
  • Zakk Leopard Spandex Jock – The last Jock we are covering is one that is pretty wild. Animal prints are becoming very popular in men’s underwear. More and more companies are doing it. This pair is a swimmer jock with the 1 inch waistband, with a spandex pouch with a really cool leopard print. Its not one you would wear to the gym, but would definitely be more of a date night pair or something you could possibly wear under a suit to break up the conservative clothing with something sexy.

Jocks don’t have to be just for sports. More and more guys are wearing them for every day wear or at least a few times a week. If you have not ever tried one, then now is the time to get one. They can be a fun pair to wear under your suit or just to mix up your underwear pairs. Remember always try to step outside of your underwear box and try new pairs.

I want to thank Jockstrap Central for the pics in this post!

McKillop certainly knows how to make an entrance! Canadian designer Ryan McKillop has just launched his first line of underwear and they’re available on Jockstrap Central.

There is a new company that launched on September 5, 2009 and you won’t want to miss it.  McKillop U/W Underwear will be carried by Top Drawers.

Ryan McKillop has spent many years researching and developing men’s underwear trying to find just the right fit.  The website states:

Through countless samples he founded Pouch No.3, Which is a floating pouch similar to a jockstrap except with more functionality, freedom and the indirect advantage of offering frontal enhancement. He instantly realized that above all else they were more comfortable than traditional undergarments. Ryan then focused all of his energy into perfecting this style and spent a year sourcing and scrutinizing the feel of each fabric and elastic, finally coming to a finished product that was worthy of his name.

McKillop U/W Underwear offers No. 1.5 and No. 3 Pouch’s (bikini) and Jock’s in a selected number of colors.  They show pink, white, black and orange on their site.  The pouch holds everything in place and when you want to show off a bit you just make an adjustment and lift everything for better exposure.  The pouch is soft, breathable mesh but still provide an extraordinary lift and support without hindering your body’s natural movement.

Be sure to check them out and read more about the heart of the undies.  Then head over to TopDrawers to buy the pair you feel would best fit your needs
