New year, new ideas...

Hey guys,
I'd really like to make this blog really great this year. I remember the days when we had great conversations going on in the comments threads almost everyday. I'd really like to have that again. I'd like to hear from you what I can do to make this blog better and something that you really want to read. I've already contacted some of the previous contributors to see if they'd like to contribute again to the blog. If you would like to contribute to the blog, or know someone who might, please contact me by email. Please write in the comments thread what you would like to see happen in this blog for the new year.

New Email Subscribing Service

As part of our changes for the new year, I will be moving all blog post by email subscriptions to a new service called FeedBlitz. You do not have to do anything except for accept the new service when you receive the email. I am letting you know about this in advance so that you will not be alarmed when you receive the email and mark it as spam.

FeedBlitz suggests that I tell you the following:

• Add feedblitz@mail.feedblitz.com to their address books or email whitelists immediately.
• Only unsubscribe using the links we provide in each email, and not their ISP's spam or abuse buttons.
• Look out for the message from FeedBlitz advising them that the change has taken place.

So keep this in mind and don't be alarmed. And I hope you all have a happy and safe new year and I will see you again next year.

Check out the known issues section in the sidebar for updated information on common problems during the switching over of this site. Please check this section before emailing me. However, if you do find a problem that is not in the known issues section, feel free to email me.

New year new underwear.

With the new year quickly approaching now is a good time to start making those new year's resolutions. Maybe this year you might want to resolve to be more adventurous in terms of your underwear drawer. You might want to try out a thong for the first time. Or maybe you want to go streaking across the super bowl field during halftime in just your skivvies. Whatever your new year's resolutions, whether underwear related or not, you could definitely use some new underwear for the new year. So why not kick off the new year with a bang and buy yourself or your lover some new underwear?

Cricket Syndicate

Christopher Straub spent a while trying to dream up a way to revolutionize the men's underwear industry. Finally he hit on a way to create it with his one-of-a-kind, vintage inspire box cut briefs. The undies are made from recycled T-shirts. He calls his brand Cricket Syndicate. The look and feel of the reclaimed tees combined with the clever eye of Christopher equals stylishly fun results. Plus, the gently worn fabric gives Cricket briefs a "touch me now" softness. And if you notice some line-art designs, that's Christopher's original artwork. Christopher started marketing his brand by selling the briefs out of a paper bag in the back of bars. About a year later he launched his web store, and the rest is history. A history that you can participate in making by purchasing a pair today. Although the styles are not only one per kind, they are limited, therefore the styles on the site are constantly changing.

American Eagle discontinuing knit underwear?

Random guy showing off his AE trunk waistband.

I recently visited the American Eagle Outfitters site and I noticed that for the first time ever they have knit basics underwear (boxerbriefs and trunk briefs) on sale in the clearance section. I checked the regular section and noticed that all these products have been removed and are only availble in the clearance section. From this I gather that AE is probably discontinuing these styles. I am not sure, but I am guessing that all knit basics are also on sale in stores. However, they may be doing something similar to what Abercrombie did last year. But we have no way of knowing for sure. So if you have been holding out on buying some American Eagle underwear, don't. Now is the time to act and buy them, I'm sure they have limited quantities. If you are a size small you are too late, they only have M-XL currently left (But the stores may have small). When you check out the clearance section online, scroll to the bottom of the page for the knit basics.

**And did I mention they come in two-packs! Also, today only (Dec. 26, 2006) you get double AE credits on everything you buy (if you collect that sort of thing) and you get free shipping on your purchase if you buy a pair of jeans (go with low-rise to show off your new undies)**

*I am going to blog about more after X-mas sales later today, so stay tuned*

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! If you're feeling in the spirit of Christmas, why not play Santa in this lace-up short available at ABCUnderwear.

Create your own undies

I have often wanted to have custom-made underwear that I have designed myself. As I hinted at previously, DT Clothes has come out with such a thing. You can create your own underwear here, but it does come with a cost. A simple jockstrap (customized) is 45AUD and a simple (customized) boxerbrief is 65AUD. But I think it's well worth it. Who doesn't want to have custom text written across the butt of their undies? I am excited with this new system, but there are a few things that it is lacking that I would really like to see before I deem it perfect:
-First and foremost: DT Clothes is known (at least in my mind) for their fun and funky patterned undies, but you can only have plain colored fabrics used in your custom undies. I'd really like to see the implement using some of the patterned fabrics into the custom undie system (even if it does cost more).
-I would like to be able to control the color and font of the custom text as well as the exact location (kind of like online T-shirt making engines)
-I would like to have more customization options besides fabric, trim and waistband. I'd really like to be able to change each section of the fabric individually (like the converse custom shoes).
-I would like to have my own custom waistband text.
-I would like to be able to order multiple pairs in different sizes (like for use as sports team underpants)
-I would like to be able to order a custom matching tank top (since they do make tanks, I should be able to customize them)
-Also I would like to know where the jockstrap text prints since there is no butt covering on a jockstrap


So, it's not perfect. But it is a start. And I'm very excited to order a pair or two.

Sorry guys...

Hey guys!! I do not know why this is working, but it is. I was having problems with Blogger and that is why I have not been posting (I really wanted to, but it wouldn't let me). Blogger never officially resolved these problems, but somehow it seems to be working now. I think it is going to be fine from now on. Yay! I have now switched over (successfully I think) to the new Blogger. This will mean lots of exciting changes in terms of how I can manage content. You have no idea how excited I am. I was updating about my technical issues at http://underwearblogtemp.blogspot.com But now, hopefully, that is over and I can blog here now.
Thank you to all those who continued to read even though there were no updates.
Also a new feature that is now implemented is labels. I have gone through all the archives and labeled everything. Now you can simply click on the label 'coupon code' and get every post that has a coupon code in it.

PS. If you subscribe to this blog through bloglet, this feature currently does not work. Hopefully it will be working soon, but it is out of my control.

In fact they'd be great underneath for quick changing on beach days. Just put them on, and pull on your pants over them, walk to the beach, pull off your pants... Viola! No changing rooms needed.
