Today I'd like to introduce you to an enthusiastic new guest contributor Tantalus. If all goes well and you like what he has to say, I'm hoping to make him a permanent part of the MUB team! Please let us know your thoughts. ~UMan
Uman previously reviewed M-N’s line of trunks. As you might remember from
the review, the trunks are cut high enough that they almost look
like a longer brief.

Their briefs, however, are a good deal shorter. As far as the fit goes, the angle in the back
is much more severe than the trunks leading to an accentuated butt. The inner thigh cut is still rather
conservative. Men with ample junk: This
design is practically made for you. The
design has a pouch in the front and enough fabric around it on the inner thighs
so that you won’t hang out the sides.
Comfort-wise, these briefs have a feel very similar to their
trunk counterparts. The fabric is the
same: a cotton-elastane blend that stretches nicely without digging into your
skin. They stay reasonably close to your
skin even after a full day’s wear, a welcome change from some cheaper band
fabric. In short, the basics on this underwear all function well.
The style of this range hasn’t changed too much. The
specific style I’ve been wearing, Street Squares (Pictured), has a vertical
stripe-seam on the pouch. All of the
briefs also have a seam directly down the center of the brief’s backside (a key
difference from the trunks) that does a great job breaking up the print in an
edgy way. It makes whoever is checking
out your backside think, “Wait, what? I gotta look again!” Finally, there’s some interesting
double-stitching going on in the thigh elastic; the creators of this line clearly
paid attention to every detail.
The briefs are extremely well made and tend to last, much
like the trunks. Everything fits tightly, and each stitch and seam fits
extremely well with the overall design and enhances the cut. The elastic is durable and lasts. Men with
junk in the trunk, though, beware – you might have to make some adjustments
throughout the day.
TANTALUS' RATING:
