Underwear review: Hanro Cotton Sensation Briefs
June 3rd, 2013
By Eric
There are certain items that in a man’s wardrobe that will never go out of style: an Hermes tie; a Rolex watch; and Bally driving loafers, among them. Hanro Cotton Sensation Briefs belong in that universe.
Made of a luxurious 90% ultra-fine pima cotton/10% elastane blend that feels great against your hand and on your skin, these low-cut briefs fit like a very expensive glove. When I put them on, I liked them immediately. I really did notice the quality of the fabric and these might be the first briefs that I have ever worn that I would describe as “tailored.” There are no logos or bold waistbands — the fit and the styling speak for themselves.
And when they speak, the Hanro Cotton Sensation Briefs discuss commodities, Johnnie Walker Blue Label, first-class travel, and exotic trysts with beautiful people in Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Berlin.
These briefs are comfortable enough to wear every day and in any environment, and while they are rather low-cut and kind of sexy, they are certainly conservative enough to change in or out of at the gym without attracting attention. They are available in black, white and “anthracite” — a charcoal gray — all timeless colors. Plus, they are packaged in a handsome white box that any man would enjoy receiving as a gift.
The Hanro Cotton Sensation Briefs look expensive and they are expensive. At $40 per pair, a one week supply would run you close to $300. Given the price, I cannot imagine them being my everyday briefs that I wear to the office or running to the grocery store or lounging around my apartment watching TV. No, these are meant to be worn on a special date or on a second job interview or any occasion when you just want to feel polished from your jacket to your pants down to your briefs.
Then again, if you like to treat yourself (or a special someone) with a little luxury now and then, $40 for the Cotton Sensation Briefs isn’t an unreasonable price to pay. I do love owning them and I can probably convince myself that my bank account would not suffer terribly if I bought one or two pair more.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | Low-cut briefs. |
| Suitable for? | Special occasions, gifts or pretty much any occasion if you can afford it. |
| Fit and quality? | Highest quality 90% mercerized pima cotton/10% elastane blend; low cut. |
| Is the price right? | $40 is rather expensive, but consider it an investment. |
| Best thing about it? | Classic and luxurious. |
| Overall grade | ★★★★★ |

Underwear review: The New Gold Standard – John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief
May 27th, 2013
By Eric
Let me just put it right out there: this may be the most comfortable underwear that I’ve ever worn. Over the years, I have personally tried many, many styles, read a lot of reviews and seen a lot of ads, but John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief exceeded any expectations that I had. I own other briefs about which I say, “I love these!” but wearing the John Sievers Gold Natural Pouch Brief is the first time that I ever felt a pair of underwear loved me back.
The briefs are designed to give you the sensation of freeballing, but they didn’t make me feel like I was wearing something tacky. They made me feel, well, as the name says: “natural.” Like, “this is the underwear that men are meant to wear.” The fit was absolutely perfect. They run true to size (maybe even a little large); I tried on a medium and a small and found that the small was a better fit.
The front pouch was perfectly sized and shaped. I’ve worn other pouch style briefs before and I’ve noticed that the front sometimes can feel a little saggy — like there’s no support at all. The John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief did not leave me with that sensation. Plus, the back is gives you full coverage so they will not feel like they are riding up. The fabric is a very soft and smooth microfiber blend made of 95% Modal, 5% Lycra; the sides are 3”.
The styling really appealed to me as well. The John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief is available in a variety of colors (white, black, gray and navy) and all have a gold waistband. If you are like me and don’t like big logos or names on your underwear, the look of the waistband will likely appeal to you, too. Although, JOHN SIEVERS is printed on the waistband, it is also in gold, so the branding was subtle. Personally, I think the navy and gold combination brought a classic, masculine look to these otherwise untraditional briefs. I also like the gray and gold combination that I saw on internationaljock.com.
I wore the John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief to work, out with friends for drinks and while riding my bike, and they felt natural in all environments. Granted, unless you are looking for a lot of attention, I would not recommend wearing them to the gym with shorts. But in any other situation, you will be glad to have these on. If it is any indication as to how much I liked the John Sievers California Gold Natural Pouch Brief, please note that I actually washed them at the end of the night just so I could wear them the following day.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | Low rise, natural front pouch briefs. |
| Suitable for? | Office, running errands, nights out, nights in, underwear parties, hot dates. |
| Fit and quality? | Flawless. |
| Is the price right? | $26.95 isn’t cheap, but the briefs are incredible. |
| Best thing about it? | They perfectly conformed to my body to the point where I felt like I wasn’t wearing anything. |

C-IN2 Zen Punt Trunks: An Xpress Review by Guys’ Underwear Blog
May 20th, 2013
By Jeff
I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed in anything C-IN2 has ever designed and that track record still holds after trying out the Zen Punt Trunk. This underwear is pretty much a cross between a trunk and a brief, so it’s almost in a category by itself. But the comfort and attractive styling is still what you’d expect from C-IN2.
Honestly, I ordered this pair solely because it looked great on the model on the C-IN2 website. But when it arrived I was happy to find that it looked great on me as well. The cut is low rise and sexy, while still offering enough coverage all around. And because of the cut, comfortable fabric and good selection of solid colors I’ll wear these whether I’m going to work or the gym.
The bamboo/cotton fabric is mesh-like, but not the kind of mesh that’s see through. It’s breathable, soft and form-fitting. The one slight issue I have is that the styling in the pouch makes my profile look pretty large. Now this is hardly an issue, but definitely something to bear in mind if you’re planning to wear these under tight pants.
All in all the Zen Punt Trunk is a great addition to almost any guy’s underwear drawer. Good job C-IN2.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | A cross between a brief and a trunk. |
| Suitable for? | Suitable for everyday wear and for working out. |
| Fit and quality? | Form-fitting, comfortable and well-made. |
| Is the price right? | They sell for $21 on the C-IN2 site, and that’s definitely a fair price. |
| Best thing about it? | Dietz elevated underwear to an “experience”. |
| Overall grade | ★★★★✩ |

Diëtz: Small, Smaller, Smallest: KOMFORTMOON. An Xpress underwear review. Part 3 of 3.
May 11th, 2013
By Eric
Final day of Diëtz reviews! Today I look closer at the smallest of the three bikinis: The KOMFORTMOON!
Smallest. Komfortmoon Mini Slip.
While all of Dietz’s bikinis are small, the Komfortmoon Mini Slip takes “small” to another level. With its narrow pouch and tiny waistband, Dietz stripped down the bikini to its bare minimum, leaving as little as possible uncovered at the front, although there is decent coverage in the back. They are quite possibly the smallest bikini briefs I’ve ever seen, let alone tried on and curiosity prompted me to choose them.
The cut certainly took some getting used to. The slim front pouch does not leave much room and requires some careful arrangement. Although the website claims that they give you an “amazing front bulge,” I found that they were constricting. They are okay around the house for a little while, but I was not comfortable walking around in them and didn’t even venture to wear them under my clothes.
The fabric itself is 84% polyamide/16% elastane and smooth to the touch, but, frankly, I couldn’t even think about the fabric when I had them on since the cut felt so unusual. The Komfortmoon Mini Slip is definitely for a distinct guy who is going for a distinct look and may already be used to such a distinct cut. If you are going for “distinct,” though, this tiny bikini will not disappoint at all.
| What | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Style and look? | Tiny bikini briefs with a slim pouch. |
| Suitable for? | Getting noticed. |
| Fit and quality? | Very distinct cut although small front pouch is a challenge; stretchy microfiber fabric feels like good quality. |
| Is the price right? | It might be worth $18 just to see what they are like to wear. |
| Best thing about it? | Dietz elevated underwear to an “experience”. |
| Overall grade | ★★★✩✩ |
