Baskit is famous for their comfort first underwear, their superb use of hi-tech fabrics and their heightened sense of style. Baskit Energy Jocks and JockBriefs include all those qualities and more and they’re now at Jockstrap Central.
Starting with the fabric, Baskit has used a stunningly soft 4 way stretch fabric (for fit and expansion where needed) designed to wick moisture while under the hottest of circumstances.
Energy Jock:
A traditional jock, both front and back with a contoured pouch with contrasting high-density overlock stitching mostly as a design element. The one inch wide leg straps are made of Baskit’s signature plushed elastic for support and comfort.
Energy JockBrief:
A perfect melding of a brief and jockstrap. While the front is like a typical brief, Contrasting high density overlock stitching not only creating a nice design element but also defining the actual contoured pouch of the garment. The back is essentially a brief fabric back with the ass cut out of it giving it the same great view you’d expect from a jockstrap.
Finally, the waistband of both the jock and jockbrief features a heavy duty soft and plushed 1 3/4 inch elastic with large repeating Baskit logo throughout.
Jockstrap Central has the jocks in black, riviera blue, super white and gold and the jockbriefs in black, super white and gold. Be sure to check out their stunningly hot model Santos at Jockstrap Central putting all seven styles through their paces

We bring you another awesome pic from Scott Barnes. He, as we said, was commissioned to do some pics for us. Due to some weather he couldn’t do some his original ideas but did some fun ones by the pool. Again the undies were furnished by Premium Underwear Store and Baskit. The pair on the left is Baskit’s new American line, where as the pair on the right is the Joe Snyder Pride Frame Bikini.
Sizing is the one thing we hear most about here at UNB. Nothing worse then finding the perfect pair of underwear getting it home and find out it doesn’t fit. This is a big problem. Its’, I would say, the biggest complaint in underwear today. In order to remedy this we want to give you some advice, that is generally true, in picking out the best pair.
Here are a few tips to make sure you get the best fit.
- Geography – pay attention to where the underwear is made. Depending on that you can usually gauge if the pairs will run small.
- Runs Smaller: South American (Columbia and Brazil), Central America, Asia (Japan and Indonesia)
- Similar to US: Australia, European (but be careful), Canada
- Online Reviews – Not all of the brands in the areas above run small. If you check our reviews on the major sites, including FreshPair and UnderGear. You can see how well they fit.
- Sizing Guides – Even us brands run small. The best example is Rufskin. They only have small, medium and large and not in the typical sizes. Other brands do that as well. So you can have Mediums that range form 30 to 34 inches.
- Ask – A friend, the company or us! We regularly field questions from readers and are glad to do so. You can also ask on Twitter, Facebook or anywhere. We may have to get back to you but we’ll answer your question!
This is a really quick and dirty guide on sizing. We will cover this a lot more in the next few weeks. We will be doing a massive update on our sizing chart as well. It’s one of the most visited pages here at UNB.
I thought I would pass this along. His Trunks now has a brand called QuaterHomme Bodywear. It’s a new brand for me, which is saying something. I will find out more info but go to their site to check them out!
Today’s Brief Distraction is another picture done by photographer Scott Barnes. We commissioned him to do a few shots for us. This pair is the N2N Bodywear Air Bikini, furnished by Premium Underwear Store!

There has always been a market for fetish wear in the underwear community for men. Over the last few years I have noticed a new trend in designs. Functional underwear design and fetish wear design are merging together. The Modus Vivendi Denim Look Brief is an example of this trend and I was lucky enough to review it and have to admit that even though I wear mostly thongs there is nothing sexier than putting in a great brief. This sporty brief, part of Modus Vivendi’s Fishermen Collection, with a football pant inspired cross lace front is definitely a great addition to my underwear collection.
There is no denying the main design on this brief is to accent your crotch. Tie the cotton cords tight or leave it lose. The versatility of the look depends on how much you wanna show off. The lace ties are accented by a border of leather looking material. There is definitely a visual accent to the crotch by these vertical black accents. But there is more design that just peek a boo pubes. Keeping with the denim look of the briefs there is a cute plastic appliqué to the rear waistband that mimics the label on a pair of Levis.
The softness of fabric, made of 95% Vicose (Rayon) and 5% Elastan, provides a pleasurable experience to wear the garment all day. Here is a tip: If you are gonna wear these briefs under your jeans all day then leave the ties loose. The leather look material rubs aggressively in your skin if the ties are tied tights. After sitting at my desk for a few hours I had to loosen the ties for more comfort. I also found the ties to be a little too long so I just cut a few inches off.
I had never worn a pair by this brand before. I have found that when an underwear brand markets itself to cater to the fetish community there tends to be a cheapness to the production value. The materials, design and finish of a garment for high quality fetish wear can really break your bank. This brief is fun, functional and is affordable.
If I were to continue with the rest of my review of this brief then we would need to post it on a more adult website. Let’s just say that the lace in the front got loose. Very loose. And I dont think I have more fun with a pair of briefs on. 🙂

It’s Friday so that means that its time for Underwear of the Week. The third week is a jockstrap! This week we choose the Candyman Two Shades Jockstrap! The reason this wins this week is it’s just FUN! I got a chance to see this one in Vegas and I really love the way it looked!
Over the last few years jocks have become their own category in undies. I think before that it was always considered a part of the “fetish” world. Now they are front and center in many collections. Companies are making jocks in fun colors, different materials and are not just creating “classic” jocks. This is not a “classic” jock but a new take on a classic pair of men’s underwear.
Reasons this pair made underwear of the week:
- Two tone pouch is new and fun
- Branded leg straps
- Available in two color combinations
- Blue & White
- Polyester/Spandex fabric blend
This pair is out in stores now. So check it out and let us know what you think!
Andrew Christian is one of those companies where it’s hard to keep up with all the new styles coming out. They have at least one one pair of underwear come out a week! We try to keep up but even we have trouble keeping it all in order!

Celebrating 20 years of selling men’s underwear is Topdrawers, a single shop in Vancouver that greatly expanded its reach as one of the early adopters of online selling.
“We are really grateful to our local customers that have supported us for so long, which allowed us to make the leap to online sales 12 years ago,” said David King, the business owner.
“Back when we started in 1992 there were a half dozen underwear stores in North America and about as many on the entire internet,” said David, adding that now there are dozens of similar operations, as well as hundreds of directories, review sites, eye candy sites and blogs, all dedicated to men’s underwear.
“And it’s amazing how the product has developed over this time. Twenty years ago we were really just leaving the stone age. The only “fashion” we had were a few fancy European bikinis and the Calvin Klein tighty-whitey. So much has improved in terms of quality and design and fabrication.”
Vancouver has an unusually developed underwear culture, being the birthplace of quite a few brands, said David.
“It started with Ginch Gonch, which skyrocketed men’s underwear into a fun new direction seven or eight years ago. Now successful lines out of the city include Saxx, Naked, and Mckillop. All are quite different but all are thriving.”
To mark this 20thanniversary milestone and thank its customers Topdrawers is offering 20% off the regular price of everything it sells in-store and at Topdrawers.com this weekend September 21 to 23, 2012.
