Guys' Underwear Blog

Archive for the ‘Aussiebum’ Category

In massive anticipation of Jeff’s upcoming review of the brand new PockitJockit underwear range from the australiatastic aussieBum, we decided to put together a post full of some awesome aB pictures.

You know, for no other reason than the fact that we just adore these photos, the underwear and the models wearing it. And it’s Friday. And we know how you  guys like a little treat to get the weekend started.

Fun fact, except for the new PockitJockit style, we actually have a pair of each of the styles below. That’s how much we love this brand.

Remember you can get all the undies and swimwear styles below over at www.aussiebum.com and have them shipped to your address, wherever you live on the planet, for FREE.

Our first true, Australian underwear love will always be aussieBum.

Rarely, if ever, have they let us down with any of their many, versatile men’s underwear collections ranging from aggressive bulge-enhancing  undies to classic, mainstream appealing briefs and boxer briefs.

Another thing they master better than most of their rivals is their branding efforts. Videos, pictures, in-store (and public) happenings – they’ve done it all – and put it on YouTube for the world to see. Thank the Lord!

2012 will be no different, and aussieBum comes out firing with their all new PocketJockit brief range which was released a few weeks ago.

The PocketJockit brief has a pocket-pouch that’s hidden and can be accessed like a sort of horizontal fly. Yes, it’s an actual pocket to store items like a small iPod, a condom, or perhaps a sock or some other filler, ha!

The undies are made from soft smooth Supima Cotton and are available in four fun colours. The price is as always fair, about $25 USD.

Check it all out over at www.aussiebum.com. And now, enjoy the video!

It’s Sunday, and we’re a little hung-over.

So, we took to YouTube to pass the time and recover from yesterday’s night out. And here we stumbled upon a recent aussieBum video that we have yet to post here on the blog.

It’s a promotion for their popular, and now upgraded, WJ Pro RAW bulge-boosting underwear range for guys who looking to make the most of the profile below the waist.

aussieBum introduced its predecessor, the WJ Pro, in 2010, so if you loved that one chances are that you’ll become a fan of this new and updated version as well.

The aussieBum WJ Pro WAR is available in brief, hipster & jockstrap with a form fitting shape, soft cotton comfort and free swing boost technology (what the video, then you’ll get it).

Whatever your underwear preference, this video is still a nice little men’s underwear treat for a lazy Sunday.

Head over to www.aussiebum.com now to check out more about this astonishing piece of men’s underwear craftsmanship.

Happy 1st December, guys! We’re kicking off the Christmas month with an amazing post.

It is a huge honor for us to introduce guest blogger Jake Joseph HIMSELF! You may remember him and his undies from Val’s 5 star review of the Jake Joseph Classic Brief. 5 stars, people, that’s rare.

Anyway, Jake has been kind enough to offer his helpful advice for your holiday underwear shopping. You wouldn’t want to miss it – there are some great tips in there.

Don’t forget to visit his store over at jakejosephco.com.

Without further ado, here it is: Jake Joseph’s 2011 men’s underwear holiday shopping guide.

By Jake Joseph

From the essentials to indulgences, it seems that our shopping styles have shifted the past few years.  As the holiday time is upon us, many shoppers are on a mission to purchase items of both value & quality.

For every wallet size and fit preference, there are some terrific options out there.  Here is some information that may help you make great purchases for whomever is on your shopping list!

For those prefer STRETCH (BRIEF, TRUNK & BOXER BRIEF):

Look for: Modal and Viscose. (These fabrics are terrific and resilient, and long-lasting even after washing).

Helpful Tip: The leg binding is an important and often overlooked facet.  The bottoms of stretch pairs that are reinforced help the product from bunching up the leg and lend a more uniform fit.

For those who prefer BOXERS:

Look for: 100% Cotton and Pima. (The Pima’s are both breathable and contain some elasticity).

Helpful Tip: Each individual’s trunks (thigh area) are different in length and width.  Find a leg length that fits your body type the best.

BRANDS

BRIEFS:

Look for: Aussiebum and Zimmerli (Brands that stand out in this category)

Helpful Tip: Aussiebum produces modern briefs that have multi-colored and interesting designs (20 USD).  Zimmerli of Switzerland delivers an excellent brief that is understated in color and promotes a terrific fit (55-70 USD).

TRUNKS:

Look for: Calvin Klein’s Micro Modal Trunk and Perofil

Helpful Tip: If you want soft and breathable, go with Calvin Klein’s Micro Modal Trunk (20 USD).  If you want light-weight and comfortable, go with Perofil 4Ever Pima Cotton Pushup Trunk. They come in a bit shorter than normal trunks, providing comfort and an overall good fit (37 USD).

BOXER BRIEFS:

Look for: Polo Ralph Lauren and Lululemon’s Game On

Helpful Tip: For comfortable and simple, go with Polo Ralph Lauren’s Knit Boxer Briefs (3 for 38 USD). For a solid fit geared for athletic activity, go for Lululemon’s Game On Boxer Brief (24 USD).

BOXERS

Look for: Brooks Brothers and Hanro of Switzerland

Helpful Tip: If you prefer a more traditional leg length, go for

Brooks Brothers (25 USD).  If you want the traditional boxer style with an element of stretch, go for Hanro of Switzerland’s Cotton Knit Mercerized Cotton boxers (70 USD).

Peace & Happy Holidays,

Jake Joseph

That’s right, I dropped “Weekly”. Who am I kidding, we all know my punctuality with this report has not been weekly recently. I will do my VERY best to keep you up on the biggest happenings in the underwear world. I promise, I just don’t promise it will happen every week.

This week has been great for us here at the GUB. We released our first original photo, and damn was it hot! I have another shoot with that model on the 20^th, plus I have three other hot models scheduled for shoots this week.

In addition to the amazing undies supplied by AussieBum I just received some great underwear from Skivvies. HOT! Ok enough about that, let’s get to the news:

GUB NEWS:

1,000 LIKES!

We hit one thousand likes on our Facebook page this week! Woo Hoo! And for those of you who haven’t kept up with our Facebook community I promised that if we hit 1,000 likes by Thanksgiving I would post a picture of myself in underwear. So here is one picture. One with my face will be added to Facebook later this week.

At the time that seemed like an almost impossible feat, but you guys did it with over a week to spare! Now I guess I have to live up to my word. So if you want to see it, “like” our face book page and stay tuned! (Above is me with my underwear collection).

Underwear Market Report

Above is a chart showing the trend in underwear sales for 2011. Underwear has long been considered an indicator of how the market is doing. In particularly men’s underwear. The theory is that men only buy new underwear when they have extra money. Of course that doesn’t go for us here. It is good to see the price of cotton has gone down. KEY: Blue-BAL cotton, Red – HBI Hanes, Green WRC Warnaco (Group that includes Calvin Klein), Yellow – LTD Limited Brands (Group that includes Victoria’s Secret), Brown – MFB Maidenform Brands.

Should We Wear Eco-Friendly Underwear?

According to a post on Care2.com, we should consider it. Why? Basically it goes back to cotton, organic versus conventionally grown cotton. Cotton covers 2.5 percent of the world’s cultivated land and uses 16 to 25 percent of the worlds pesticides. Cotton uses more chemical products in production than any other agricultural product. So organic methods can help reduce this pollution. And organic undies can help.

Tebow Underwear Billboard

Jockey is going to put up a billboard in Denver featuring Tim Tebow now that he actually is being used by the Broncos. So what will he be wearing? A pair of jeans, and a baggy T-shirt!!! Sorry but I have to say, WORST UNDERWEAR BILLBOARD EVER! We love you Jockey, but get Tebow in underwear or get a new spokesperson.

Underwear Mayor

Medford, New Jersey Mayor Chris Myers, a Republican, says that he won’t resign, but didn’t deny allegations that he paid for gay sex while visiting California last October.

Nor will he confirm or deny a picture (Above) that appears to be him wearing blue Calvin Klein underwear, which was posted on the gay website Rentboy.com. Good for him!

Hair Rules

A movie entitled “Hair Rules” was shown at the Houston Comedy Film Festival. The movie is about a man, named Bruce, trying to become an underwear model. Well you know Bruce, we would love to have you model for us at the GUB.

UNDERWEAR CRIME:

Underwear Bang Bang

A 20–year-old man wound up sleeping it off at the Barrie police station, in Ontario Canada, Saturday morning (October 22) after he showed up in his underwear at a home around 7:30 a.m. and began banging on the door. The people at the residence didn’t know the man, police say, a student from South River. He was charged with causing a disturbance and has a future court date. Why can’t underwear clad 20 year old come bang on my door?

Legally Required Underwear

David Jones, of the UK, has been sentenced to underwear. He has spent a year in jail of accounts of indecent exposure. He flashed several women in a Alfreton Library. Part of his departing agreement is that he MUST wear underwear when he goes out in public. I wonder if he’s allowed to have a fly front?

Depantsed Burglar

On night in Mesa Arizona a couple came home to find a burglar in their home. The wife spotted the 23 year old man and the husband pursued him. Joshua Randall, the burglar, struck the husband with a bronze candle and even bit off a piece of his ear! Somehow during the struggle Randall lost his pants and had to flee the scene in his underwear. It’s always good to depants any man who enters your home.

Depantsed by Police

Joseph Knight of Tennessee was arrested by the local police. While they were trying to verify his identity he bolted and ran while still handcuffed. A struggle ensued and Knight got away but somehow lost his pants in the mayhem. How did the police get his pants but lose him?

An Ear In Inmates Underwear!

Yes you read that right. A man being processed at a Greek prison had an ear hidden in the crotch of his underwear. He told authorities it was a sheep’s ear and that he normally wore it around his neck but didn’t want it taken from him so he hid it. The authorities can not figure out if it really is a sheep’s ear or a human’s. Wow.

Robbed and left in Underwear

A man, in Walterboro South Carolina, was left standing in his underwear late on Friday night after men reportedly approached him at an intersection and took his shirt, pants and shoes. According to an incident report, the man was walking down the Street when an unknown man in a Buick pulled up beside him and three men jumped out of the car. The victim told investigators the three men surrounded him, pulled a knife and stuck it to his side. They then reportedly demanded he take off all his clothes, well almost all. They also took his wallet containing $235. But at least he kept his underwear.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

Here it is! The official picture for the GUB Grind! It’s one of our favorite GUB models, Adam Coussins, posing for the cameras over at deadgoodundies.com. We thank them for donating this picture and allowing us to use it in publicizing the event. Hope you enjoy!

And here it is! Our very first original picture for the Guys’ Underwear Blog Gallery!

Photography was done for us by MusclePix of Colorado (Valdamar). Our model is Shane Diesel, relation to Vin is unknown, a body builder, model and all around great guy.

Underwear was provided by the wonderful aussieBum. Here Shane is wearing the lift enhancing WJPro Wonder Jock by AussieBum.

This was the first time Shane had ever worn a jock! EVER! And with AussieBums little lifting pouch inside it was great to see the look on his face as I handed him his wardrobe.

Shane has always been a boxer brief guy but after the briefs and jocks for this shoot he said “I’m switching from boxer briefs to [briefs]“.

He also mentioned his girlfriend was going to be happy about this change. I hope she enjoyed this jock as it was what he wore home after the shoot.

Enjoy the picture underwear lovers, there are more coming!

And don’t forget to visit aussieBum.com to get your very own WJPro!
