Guys' Underwear Blog

Archive for the ‘2(x)ist’ Category

By Jeff

Do you remember that guy in high school who was good at everything – sports, tests, getting dates?  Well, if that guy was a brand, he’d probably be 2(x)ist.  They just seem to get everything right!  This company, which was founded over 20 years ago, has built its reputation on creating attractive styles that fit well and feel comfortable.  And the new Tartan Line is no exception.

The Tartan collection is available in trunks, briefs, long johns and Henley shirts.  For this review I tried a pair of black trunks and black briefs.  They’re made with a high-quality fabric that’s 90% cotton and 10% spandex.  So they’re soft and provide just the right amount of stretch.  Like all 2(x)ist underwear that I’ve worn, they include a pouch in the front for support and comfort.

The distinctive feature of the underwear is the woven plaid pattern (tartan) that appears on the waist band.  This is a fun way to add some color and additional style to the line.  The rest of the fabric comes in either solid black, white or red.

I don’t like over-using the same word, but have to say that both the trunks and the briefs are incredibly COMFORTABLE.  The fabric feels great and the underwear fits just right…no itchy tag, no tightness in the crotch or leg openings, no bunching.  The briefs are sexy while still offering the right amount of coverage on the backside.  And the pouch in front makes your profile all the more impressive.  The trunks are just as attractive and enjoyable to wear.

I’d describe the Tartan underwear as “Go To” underwear.  They’re great for everyday wear, for working out and for being seen in.  They also hold up perfectly in the wash.

Hello all you underwear lovers out there. Today we’re taking a look at the latest and greatest from one of the world’s leaders in men’s underwear fashion. 2(x)ist has a style that takes from bright and flashy as seen in their neon collection to this hyper masculine look of the military series. 2(x)ist has a very diverse look yet always exhibits an amazing style and look and is and has been at the forefront of the underwear world for men. So I am always excited to get a chance to look at review underwear from 2(x)ist.

I love the Military collection from 2(x)ist. When you first hear the name you would expect to see a bunch of camouflage prints but that is not all you will find. 2(x)ist has taken their “military” look in a way that captures the utilitarian and brute look of soldiers. The material is 57% cotton, 37% modal, and 6% spandex. It’s fabricated into a smooth look that has an edge. If you look closely it’s patterned into a rugged feel in that it doesn’t have a silky smooth shimmer but a look imitating Army issued undies. Yet the material is as soft, supportively stretchy and comfortable as any high quality underwear. It does come in a green and a grey camouflage but also comes in white, black, grey and green. It comes as a sports brief, a no-show brief and a no-show trunk. You may also get a matching square neck tank.

I have a green Military Sports Brief and love it. It fits great, feels great and looks great. The waistband on the underwear has a metallic silver shiny band with three thin green lines in the color of the underwear. That band color compliments the green really well, completely highlighting the military look. The elastic band is about an inch and a half so it’s large but not too big. The front has a lined and contoured pouch which is a good size, neither too small nor overly large, so it provides support and comfort. The brief has a fully covered back made with one piece of material. The strip between your legs is not too thick, so as to cause bunching, but wide enough to keep you covered; about 2 and a half inches. The front pouch and back are connected at the front hip by a small bridge of fabric giving it 2(x)ist’s signature “sports” look. The underwear is trimmed by the same colored fabric with three rows of stitching in a darker, almost black, thread. They look and feel great!

I also have a matching green tank. It’s made out of the same material and and has the same great look. The front neck line has a squared “U” cut. The sides have three double stitched lines which go up and arch around and go straight down the back. The stitching as in the underwear is of a dark green. The lines remind me of a 50’s movie theatres neon sign. Its contouring lines go well with the look of the tank top. On the left shoulder strap there is a silver tag with green letters showing 2xists logo. It can be worn as undershirt or on its own as a tank top.

I wore both of these garments and they were very comfortable and looked really good. I had them on throughout my day’s activities and even throughout the night. Like all good underwear they were doing their job so well I never even really noticed they were there except when I took my clothes off and was pleasantly surprised to see my hot undies! I washed them and wore them again and they showed no signs of wear. The quality is great and these undies should last you a long time. Thank you 2xist for these amazing Military style undies.

No More Swimming in Underwear

Dubai’s beaches have a new ordinance which makes it obligatory to wear proper swimwear while on the beach. They have had issues with people swimming in just underwear, which becomes transparent, or swimming fully clothed. Now beach patron must wear an actual swim suit. As a lifeguard at a pool I must say I like this new law, although sometime wet undies aint too bad.

Crotchless Panties for 7 Year Olds!

What the heck! Right here my home state too! Watch the video, it says it all.

A New World Record in Underwear, Literally

57 people in the Canary Wharf district of London set a new world record for the most people to be in a single pair of underwear. Obviously not a normal pair of undies here. But some of the participates had on some nice undies themselves.

Sperm Cooling Underwear

STUD, the baby making underwear, has designed a pair of undies that will keep your sperm cooler, thus helping to increase your fertility chances. These undies are designed with cool mesh material around your sperm producing areas, namely your testicles. These undies will run you about $60. But a much more styling option to them baggy boxers: www.studbriefs.com.

Mario Lopez Underwear Line

So Mr.Lopez former Saved By The Bell star, a title he will never out-live, has designed a new line of mens underwear. And good for him for being willing to be the model as well. He looks great. The underwear on the other hand have been getting mixed reviews. Some guys say they look like they would have been in fashion back in the 70’s. Personally I don’t know, I think Mario should send us a pair to review.

Underwear Under Toupee

Nilesh Ramlal Bari, a 28 year old man in Mumbai, stuffed his toupee with underwear. Why? He wanted to be a policeman, unfortunately he is only 165cm and they have a limit which is 168cm. So he is too short, so to pass the exam he came up with this little trick. It didn’t work and instead his little stunt make the newspaper and our international blog.

Honk If You Think I’m Sexy

A teenage boy was standing out in the street in Fairfield Connecticut in his underwear holding a sign that said “Honk if you think I’m sexy”. And of course he had a friend video taping the whole thing. It should be on YouTube soon.

Robert Downey Jr Flashes His Underwear

On his red carpet walk for the new Sherlock Holmes movie Robert made a little fashion faux pas. He tucked his shirt into his underwear as opposed to over his underwear and into his pants. So we got to see his red Calvin Klein’s. Of course Klein may have paid him to do that.

Will Tebow Win You Underwear?

Jockey announced that if Tim Tebow, who has yet to pose in Jockeys, and the Broncos win the Super Bowl they will give away a million dollars in underwear and to one winner $15,000 (Since Tebow is number 15). Jockey should have bet more, they probably won’t have to pay. But if they do win Woo Hoo! (Above is a pic of Tebow in underwear, not Jockeys, GASP)

2(x)ist probably is one of the most active brands on social platforms these days.

200,000 follow them on Facebook!

That’s more than 30,000 more than aussieBum who usually is the king social and viral marketing in the men’s underwear biz.

They also run a very active blog, 2(x)istence, on which you can always find the newest pictures and underwear news. At the moment the 2(x)ist team is even working on a multi-platform upgrade of their social program – and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.

We’re thinking, what about a smartphone app?

Anyway, while we wait for this upgrade, why not look at some fresh new 2(x)ist pic featuring the all new MILITARY range as well as a couple of SPORT pics – the latter being very hot indeed.

Shot by photografer Simon Le the SPORT photos appear in the latest issue of DNA Magazine. Model Spencer Richards wears the SPORT No-Show Brief in the story, set in Australia’s outback Northern Territory.

Remember, you can shop for 2(x)ist at our preferred men’s underwear store, UnderBriefs.

Out with old, in with the new! Like in many other aspects of life, that too seems to be the circle of life in the world of men’s underwear.

And like few other brands, this holds true with one of our favorite American brands, 2(x)ist. They’re launching new lines faster than we can review them here at GUB!

Just this week, the 2(x)ist All Star range was discontinued. But fear not, in its place we now have the all new, masculine 2(x)ist MILITARY range.

The range is characterized by solid color designs (white, black, Army green, and lead) with a wide, silver metallic waistband and a hanging x-tag. Styles available include No-Show briefs and trunks.

Best thing? The MILITARY range is made from 57% Cotton, 37% Modal, and 6% Spandex. We love modal blends, they’re absolutely the most comfortable fabric blend around.

Where to get it?
UnderBriefs has just launched 2(x)ist’s new MILITARY range on its site. Briefs are a reasonable $20 USD. Also, UnderBriefs is closing out the 2(x)ist All-Star range.

You can save 30% on all 2(x)ist All-Star products!

UnderBriefs offers free shipping to the US and Canada and has low international rates.
