Cool Underwear Buying Resource: La Redoute


This is a great site for buying fashionable men's underwear. It is a French site, and we all know that the French are known for excellent men's underwear. Click here for boxers/shorty (basically boxerbriefs). Click here for briefs (slips). Just like French stores, this website has incredibly low prices on very high quality and fashionable men's underwear. They stock well known French brands, such as DIM and Athena, as well as popular American brands like Calvin Klein. DIM and Athena are in a way the Hanes and Fruit of the Loom of France. They are very popular and reasonably priced. The only difference is that the French versions are very stylish and high quality and you can find them in France at "Target-like" stores and Department Stores. This site is definitely worth a peek, but you may want to brush up on your French skills first.

Jameswinston Co. Review






A while ago I blogged about a fairly new brand, Jameswinston Co. I have since tried out their line a lot and I gotta tell you, there is something really special about these. They are not your ordinary drawers, they are superb all around. I think this is my first ever 10!

But before I tell you about my experiences with the underwear, I want to tell you a bit about the company.

Jameswinston Co. is a very new UK underwear company (they're about a little over a month old). They are already causing a bit of a PR stir in the UK, and for good reasons. This brand has been a long 20 month investment, but it is finally paying off. They are starting with just one style at the beginning. They hope to appeal to a wide range of men (both gay and straight) with their wide array of hard to find and unique colors. They believe that the success to their sub-vintage line is "1) Create a great quality product 2) Make sure it looks different 3) In genuinely great shades to create a further interest twist." Right now they are "about quality cloth, genuinely great fit, subtle design elements and colours that guys can't easily obtain." But they hope to expand into caps, t-shirts, track suits, pants, etc sometime in the future. But I can tell you that they will be having some exciting new colors coming out in the near future (early 2007). So as you can see, it is clear that Jameswinston Co. is truly dedicated to bringing men all over the world the best underwear they can possibly make. I have to tell you, they have done a darn good job at doing this too.

The fit and comfort of these trunk briefs is incredible. When I wear these I barely even realize that I'm wearing anything underneath at all. That's how underwear should be. I really have no complaints about the fit or comfort. Another cool thing is that if you want a bit of a more modest fit, you can buy a size up and you will still have the same comfort as the smaller size. The ribbed trunks allow for a bit more movement, but they are both equally comfortable.

The style of these is really great too. They come in lots of fun colors (and lots of new very cool new colors will be early next year). I love all the unique logo tags all over. There's one really cool one on the waistband in the back, one on the waistband in the front, and one on the front of the leg. I'd also like to take a chance here to tell you about their great job of branding on the packaging. My trunks came in sack with the 'J' logo on it. Inside they were all in brown boxes with a 'J' cutout opening. "The packaging was simply a reaction to seeing 'another' torso wearing white underwear. We took a calculated decision to provide a style of box that showcased the colours of the underwear in a innovative way (the cut side of the box in the shape of the 'J' Logo) Not using a picture meant we had to find other means of motivating the customer. hence the text on the rear of the box gave us the means to explain that we really have worked to give the customer a great pant. The swing ticket was a nice touch to cement the fact we have quality standards. All in all the box has an organic 'feel' which works well with our 'retro' styling. The sack was simply made for the benefit of buyers - to show we think about our presentation!" It is clear they really DO pay attention to their presentation, and it pays off.

I really don't have much to say. All there is to say is lots of compliments and props to the guy behind Jameswinston. They are a great value at 15 £ per pair. That's a great deal. I would definitely encourage you to go out and purchase some in time for the holidays.

You can buy them at Jameswinston Co and UrbanUnderwear.
If you
buy them at Jameswinston be sure to use the exclusive coupon code for this blog (good through December 21st) that will get you one pair free when you buy the first two AND free shipping. Enter Jw002 at checkout.

MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Jameswinston Co. Brand Underwear a total score of 10 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 10 (out of 10)
COMFORT -- 10 (out of 10)
STYLE -- 10 (out of 10)
QUALITY -- 10 (out of 10)

Cocksox review

Cocksox, "member enhancing underwear" that is truly a sock for your cock. They, at Cocksox, have developed enhancing underwear that is practical for everyday wear. As they state "no longer is sexy mens underwear only suitable for special occasions." Their underwear is sexy and designed for everyday wear. All their designs are made in Australia from state of the art fabrics that look and feel like cotton but have benefits of advanced fabric technology. Some of the the benefits of this fabric, called Supplex, holds its shape, is color-fast, fast-drying, and breathable.

I tried the Diable Red original briefs.

The fit is excellent. Or at least for the most part. It fits wonderfully when everything is "normal" down there. But when things get a little wild the whole contraption goes crazy (if you get what I'm saying). Basically the problem is there is a pouch for the shaft that adequately holds in the balls. But when the 'meat' gets large, it pulls the fabric away from the 'potatoes' and they fall all out of place. When things go back to normal the underwear doesn't go back to its original placement. This means that a lot of adjusting is necessary throughout the day in order to stay truly comfortable. They are incredibly comfortable when everything is in place, but they are very uncomfortable when they aren't on perfectly. It also can get out of alignment when moving from sitting to standing and other major changes in body position. Also occasionally (just randomly) they will ride down a bit. This occasionally results in having to pull them up the by the waist in the front. I tried the original brief (without a waistband), but since its launch there is now a new version with a waistband. I am guessing that the waistband probably alleviates this random riding-down (but I haven't tried them so I can't say for sure, but I would definitely give them a whirl to find out). One thing that is true about the fit of these underwear is that they truly do what they say they do. They do enhance quite a bit. But not unrealistically. The enhancement that they give is very believable and does not look like you have stuffed your pants, or that you are constantly having a boner. It just looks like you are a very healthy, well-endowed man. Another issue that I see is that when moving, there is quite a bit of gaping at the leg holes. This isn't a problem if you are wearing it as underwear. But since they also make a line of swimmwear with the exact same cut, this gaping could be a bit of an issue on the beach. You could end up showing way more than you intend to show. So be warned. One last thing I would like to note about the fitting and comfort is that they have a different sizing scale than the standard, so be sure to check that out before ordering because you could end up with the wrong size (by quite a bit). Also they do fit a little small so you may want to size one up from their sizing scale for a conventional fit. One more last thing about the fit, the new style (with the waistband) comes in two different pouch sizes: the standard one, and one that is a little snugger (by an inch). Based on my experience with the standard I would not recommend the smaller one (it would probably pull and gape even more than the original sized one), but you may wish to try it out.

The style is excellent. The look great. They have a very sexy, revealing front. But a modest, full back. This is a really nice style because you can get the revealingness of thong underwear without the strap up the butt. Also, you get great realistic visual enhancement without any uncomfortable suspensories, straps, slings, cups, etc. Also I love the way the sides can be pulled above pants to give the suggestion that you are wearing sexy underwear that is much more revealing than these actually are (not to say they aren't sexy, they just can give the illusion of wearing thong underwear without all the discomforts of thongs). Also the placement of the Cocksox logo allows for playful exposure. My only complaint in terms of the look of this style is that there are not enough colors. I would like to see more colors.

Overall, this is a great product and an excellent idea. It is just in need of a bit of tweaking in terms of the fitting. But there is a new version since the ones I tried so some of the fit issues may have been wrinkled out with that (I'd have to try to say for sure).


MY RATING:
Overall, I give the CockSox, Original briefs a total score of 8 based on the following criteria:
FIT -- 7 (out of 10)
COMFORT -- 7 (out of 10)
STYLE -- 10 (out of 10)
QUALITY -- 10 (out of 10)
VALUE -- 8 (out of 10)

Checkpoint Underwear



Today I'd like to tell you about a really cool new brand in the underwear world. It is Checkpoint Underwear. They officially launched this November. It was started by three French guys who currently live in Hong Kong. What a perfect group to make a great new line. The French are known for their great fashion in clothing and in men's underwear. And Asia in general is known for fun and innovative men's underwear fashions. So mix the two together and you get a fun line that they are billing as "genuine streetware". They're line was created because they were frustrated with men's underwear. They believe that you should "change your inside fashion life with underwear you would be proud to wear." The line was inspired by their busy urban lives in Hong Kong and Tokyo. It is a very cool line so be sure to check them out. They would make a great gift for the trendy urbanite in your life. A review will be coming soon (probably after the holidays).
