New Style from AC: Brief Jock

Today I wanted to introduce you to a new style from Andrew Christian, the brief jock.  This sexy little number is part of the Almost Naked line and is oh-so-soft.  With its sexy gold waistband and straps, this hot new style is sure to turn heads.  

The pouch of this jock is anatomically correct and has extra room in front, just where you need it the most. When you slip into these, your package falls naturally into the super soft snuggle pocket to create a truly enjoyable and unique wearing experience. Made from super soft rayon (made from bamboo) and spandex, it will retain it's shape while making you feel good. And the fit is great for all body types.  

This sexy number comes in black, blue, and white and retails for $19 at Andrew Christian.

Guest Review: M-N Briefs

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.

Tantalus in M-N briefs.

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:

Overall, I give the M-N Azure Range Brief a total score of 9 based on the following criteria:

FIT -- 8 (out of 10) - Brief, severely cut in the back. 

COMFORT -- 9 (out of 10) - Soft and smooth fabric.  Ample pouch keeps everything in place. 

STYLE -- 10 (out of 10) - Distinct and edgy look.

QUALITY -- 10 (out of 10) - Well made. Great attention to detail. 

VALUE -- 8 (out of 10) - Slightly expensive, but worth the investment.

H&M Unveils Giant Statues of Beckham

Earlier this year H&M launched a range of undies in cooperation with David Beckham.  Honestly I thought the range would never take off.  But I was wrong, not only has it taken off, they are now doing a HUGE marketing campaign involving large silver statues of the Becks.  From now until August 31, nine 11-foot-tall statues of the soccer superstar are stationed across New York City (6 statues), LA (2), and San Francisco (1).  The statues are certainly inspired by Michelangelo's David and are modeled after the H&M campaign shots for the line.  Unlike the original David statue though, these (of course) have Beckham wearing his signature underwear. 

To further involvement, H&M will give away a $1000 shopping spree.  To win, you just have to take your picture with one of the statues and upload it to Instagram with the hashtag #HMBeckham.  So there you have it.

What are your thoughts on the new Beckham statues?  We'd love to see your pictures with the statues!  

Phelps Stars in new Louis Vuitton Ad

Now that the London Olympics have come to a close, it's only right that the athletes keep their buzz going.  What better for superstars like Michael Phelps to keep up their spotlight than through starring in ads and endorsements.  This time Phelps branches off from the norm in this new campaign for Louis Vuitton.  The ad may be the start of a new direction for both Phelps and the French fashion house.  Of course we've seen Phelps strip down to his swim suit before, but here he is a little more seductive than usual.  Check out Phelps in all his hunky glory.  

What are your thoughts on this new ad campaign?  Do you want to see more of Phelps or do you just wish he'd go away for a while?  

Save 50% off at Baskit using The Daily Hookup

The Daily Hookup (Daily Deals) is a shopping site that offers discounted shopping on all sorts of brands.  The site works like many other popular sites such as Groupon, where you buy a deal for a discounted rate and then go redeem it at the other site.  The only difference here is that the site is geared towards stuff that the modern man would like. So the sales feature things like shaving gear, socks, and men's underwear.  And of course that's why I'm talking about it here.  For the next 9 days, The Daily Hookup is featuring Baskit underwear at 50% off.  The deal is $50 worth of underwear or swimwear from Baskit for only $25.  You can choose what you buy at Baskit.  The Daily Hookup requires you be a member to buy, but unlike GILT you don't need an invitation.  So just head on over and sign up and get your hookup.
