Hey boys, it's been a while since I've done a review. Today I want to share with you some of my favorite briefs as of late. The briefs in question come from Bum Chums, a relatively new British brand. I profiled them in January, and one point that I'd like to highlight again here is that unlike many other brands, Bum Chums doesn't farm out their manufacturing but instead makes everything locally in Yorkshire, England. This really makes a difference.
I tried out the Fruity hip briefs in blue-berry. They also come in a couple other bright, vibrant colors like cherry red, pink peach, lemon lush, and plum purple. The fit and fabric of these are the two main reasons I love these briefs so much. They are what is known as a hip brief. They hit you right on the hip. They're not too high and not too low. The leg cut outs are higher than a fuller rise brief. The pouch space is ample but not too much that it's baggy. Same goes for the bum. I have a rather small bum but the fabric still contours to my curves without sagging. But it will also stretch to accomodate more of a bubble butt. The briefs fit true to size. They really kept the modern man in mind when cutting this patten.
These briefs are super comfy and great for a variety of activities as well as just everyday wear. The fabric is thicker than most briefs, but it actually works very well. I feel well covered by these and the weight of the fabric is nice. But they're not too weighty and they still breathe well in the summer. The entire front actually has a double layer, which helps the brief keep its shape and hold all your goods in place. The feel of the fabric is due to the unique nylon/elastane/lycra blend that they use. They've created a really unique fabric unlike any I've seen before, and it really works. The waistband is likewise thicker than usual to match, but is oh-so-soft. The interior tag is basically a sticker stuck to the waistband. It falls off in the wash, but I recommend just removing it right away (I think you're supposed to actually). The leg bands are perfect; I never even notice them. In fact I really don't notice these briefs at all other than the fact that I feel supported and not flopping around all day.
As for the style? Like I said they're far from a classic cut. They're really made for the modern man to work with modern clothes (like low-rise jeans). The style really comes from the unique hip cut of these. And the fun colors don't hurt. They're very stylish but understated, I think any man would feel comfortable wearing these.
These undies are very high quality. I've had mine for almost a year now (this review is long overdue, sorry) and they're just like the day I got them. Seriously. And these are one of my go-to briefs too, so they do get a fair amount of wear. For around $26 USD a pop these are well worth it. Get them!
MY RATING:
FIT -- 9 (out of 10) - Awesome modern hip fit. Perfect for the modern man.
COMFORT -- 9 (out of 10) - I don't even notice they're there.
STYLE -- 8 (out of 10) - The style comes from the unique cut. Modern. Colorful.
QUALITY -- 10 (out of 10) - Like the day I got them after a year of wear.
