SKMPEEZ was launched by two best friends in the summer of 2008. One, a designer, the other a businessman both with a love for fun in the sun and travelling. In preparation for a trip down south, the two searched high and low for the perfect swimsuit that not only made a statement but was still classy and fit well. After hours of searching store after store and then online, only one came home with a less than perfect suit. Following their trip, the two decided that with their skills they could design and produce their own swimsuits that were unique, fun, stylish and sexy. SKMPEEZ was born!

Go Softwear™ ushered in a new era of men’s undergarments in 1996 with the introduction of men’s padded underwear. Before the word metrosexual was in vogue Go Softwear undergarments were becoming a favorite among young, image and body conscious males.

Since then Go Softwear has introduced a range of underwear, workout wear and swimwear “with an edge”. The most popular style of underwear is the introduction of the “low rise brief,” inspired by the popularity of the lo-rise jean trend. The contour European fit with bold comic book colors and playfulness have become a favorite choice in men’s fashion underwear.

The contest is over and we had over 180 creative entries. It was really hard for us to narrow down the winners. But we finally did it! I want to thank all the entries that made it hard for us to pick.

Here are the winners and their winning entries:

  • First Place – Tim B
    • Why I need some Ristefky, just today at the launder mat someone stole all of my underwear from the washer.  I do not know who would want all of my old rate underwear or what they would do with them other then use them for rags.  Maybe they need them more then I do, but who know.  Now I just have the one pair of tighty  whites that I have on my ass right now, so I need some Risefsky. See I just do wash 1 time every 3 weeks so someone got my whole load.
  • Second Place – Shaun S.
    • Top 4 Reasons…1. I can’t afford to fly to Australia, but I could at least look like I’ve been there wearing Ristefsky Macheda.2. I would love to confuse people in the locker room and tell people that Ristefsky Macheda is my real name; “Shaun Simpson” is only my stage name.

      3. If I won first price I could use a few pair in photoshoots to promote Underwear News Briefs and Ristefsky Macheda, as well as keep a pair for myself.

      4. I want to look like Jonathan Wauld…

  • Third Place – Nate R.
    • There is a funny phrase about underwear, “In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men’s underwear.” Well why buy more things for the kitchen when I get some nice pair of these that will make the kitchen even more full with sexier items. 😉

We want to thank Ristefsky Macheda for doing this contest with us. Lastly, we want to thank to everyone for entering but we have some really BIG contests coming up shortly. So stay tuned, and you may need a new dresser for what we will give away!

The Ristefsky Macheda contest continues. Remember we need some great creative responses to why you guys want some RF. You can do a new entry every day, so get your thinking caps on and enter! To enter go to our contest page and fill out our form!

I made two changes on the form:

Ristefsky Macheda Dare Brief

My recent assignment was to try out a new pair of Australian briefs.  We’ve written lately about the emergence of the Australians in the men’s underwear market.  We are very happy to see them since they are bringing about changes in the way we see underwear.  It is also good that the world is getting more choices than the ones we had become so familiar with.  It’s funny that years ago, the slate was clean and underwear had many directions it could take.  Today, that slate has become full of competition as designers from around the world embark on discoveries in new designs and materials to make the modern man comfortable and sexy…all while wearing one pair of underwear.  One of those would be the Ristefsky Macheda Dare Brief.

Started by its founders Stephen Ristefsky and Vincent Macheda in 2005, Ristefsky Macheda (RM) has blended European and Australian style to create a bold line of underwear and beachwear.  Both designers are of European decent and have placed themselves into Australian fashion and expanding their vision to the rest of the world.  We welcome RM to the world of men’s fashion and plead for their creativeness in supplying men with innovative clothing.

I, like many others, enjoy the feeling of opening a new package of underwear.  One could say that opening this package meant opening opportunities…for feeling sexy or well supported.  This pair of red/white Dare Briefs did not disappoint in offering those opportunities.  For a size small, the briefs fit true to size.  There was no bunching, no looseness, and no cut marks on either the waist or the leg.  This brief comes with a fly opening for those that chose to use it. I am not a fly user since I feel it causes the underwear to lose much of its pouch shape when stretched out.  If you do use it, be sure to notice the width of material you will be fishing through; it’s rather wide.  The material used in the Dare Brief is 95% cotton and 5% Elastane.  The brief can be washed in the washer (thankfully) and it is not recommended to tumble dry or iron them.

There is no defined pouch used on this brief.  I thought I was going to have to position differently than I normally would, but surprisingly, I was able to dress comfortably downward.  The material is stretchy enough to supply a nice fit to the crotch.  The legs were not tight and the waistband fit perfectly with a width at 1.75 inches (4.45 cm).  The rear had ample coverage and did not move out of place.  If I had gone to the gym, I am sure these would have been perfectly fine while running or lifting weights.

All together, I am very impressed with the RM Dare Brief.  The designers did very well in producing an article of clothing they should be proud for anyone to wear.  The brief satisfied all my expectations in what a great pair of underwear should provide its wearer.

The Ristefsky Macheda briefs can be purchased from their website at www.ristefskymacheda.com for $20.57 US and $22.95 AU. I am sure you will be as delighted with them as I am.  Ristefsky Macheda furnished these briefs for our review.
