Modus Vivendi Colorful Camouflage Brief – An Xpress review from Guys’ Underwear Blog

November 24th, 2010

It’s been all about Modus Vivendi here on Guys’ Underwear Blog the last couple of days.

If you missed some of the gorgeous pictures I’ve been posting, check them out now

And today I’m wrapping it all up with a review of the Modus Vivendi Colorful Camouflage Brief.

Modus Vivendi has many, many different underwear collections to choose from, including an abundance of niche underwear styles with outstanding features and details.

For this review, though, I went for a more mainstream brief cut and cotton fabric blend, simply to show that Modus Vivendi actually also masters the type of underwear that guys wear the most.

The Modus Colorful Camouflage Brief hasn’t actually been released for sale yet, but in terms of cut and fabric composition it’s almost completely identical to the Vivendi TNT brief (shown in the first picture). The TNT brief is available over at www.e-modusvivendi.com for about US $23.

Feature	Verdict
Style and look	Like the Vivendi TNT brief, the Camouflage brief is a modern day classic; low-rise, non-skimpy with proper back coverage and a soft-feeling and sufficiently stretchy 1,5 inches wide waistband. When it comes to cut, then, the Camouflage brief is a safe and comfortable choice. In terms of the camouflage print design, it certainly will be a colorful addition to your underwear drawer. B aware that camo prints go in and out of style very frequently. So should you grow tired of the camo look, do hold on to this brief because before you know, it’ll be a hot item once again. If you are more into solid colors, go for the Vivendi TNT or Strip briefs.
Suitable for?	With its standard cut and 93 % cotton / 7 % Elastane fabric composition, the Colorful Camouflage brief is a perfect choice for everyday wear. This is the kind of brief you can wear to work, to play, and to bed without having to ever readjust it. It stays perfectly in place whatever you’re sitting, walking or running. The pouch is plentiful and roomy and kept my stuff nicely supported throughout the day.
Fit and quality?	I have 32/33 inch the waist, and as usual I wore a size M, which was a perfect fit for me. I experienced no muffin top or tell tell waistband marks around my waist :) I have to make a comment about the production quality which I find to be remarkable. The stitching is really well done, and stretch, fit and colors have not suffered at all after the first few washes like you sometimes see with lower quality underwear.
Is the price right?	In general, European men’s underwear is more expensive than American and Australian brands. The weak dollar and higher production costs is a challenge for European brands. An official price tag for the Camouflage brief is yet to published but I would suspect that it be priced similarly to the TNT brief, which is US $22. This is absolutely acceptable for a brief of this standard.
Best thing about it?	The perfected fit and production quality has been a pleasure to experience. Combined with the fact that the Camouflage brief most likely will cost less than $25, makes for the perfect opportunity for you to get a hot European brief to make you stand out from your peers.
Overall grade	★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ I review a lot of standard cut briefs and it can be difficult for a brand to stand out with this style. Even though it comes in a number of splashy colors, the real value of the Modus Vivendi Colorful Camouflage brief lies in the superb production quality. If you haven’t already got a pair of European briefs, the Camouflage brief is a safe place to start.
