Baskit Utility Brief - A Men's Underwear Review

Menswear Review has posted a few underwear reviews on /baskit/ men's underwear line including /baskit/ Snugfit Seamless Fishnet Trunk and Fine Lines Trunk. Today, I've had the pleasure of trying out their Utility brief and have been quite pleased with what I found. In reading the review on Guys Underwear Blog of the /baskit/ Lowrise Utility Trunk, I can say we're on the same page with our impression of the Utility line-up.

While it may not be the sexiest pair of underwear I've reviewed, they are a fantastic pair of stylish everyday men's underwear. The pair I reviewed were powder blue with chocolate waist and leg bands, along with a white accent panel near the front pouch. Made from a quality blend of 93% cotton / 7% spandex, I found the fabric to be soft and comfortable.

In front, I found a comfortable, supportive fly-front pouch. The cotton/spandex blend was comfortable and provided adequate "give" to create a supportive feeling.

The overall fit was quite comfortable. I've actually pulled these out a couple of times when I was in search of a comfortable pair of underwear for the day if that gives you some insight on the comfort factor.

All-in-all, a stylish comfortable pair of men's briefs. Right now, they're on sale at Undergear for just $10.99 (USD) - a steal in my mind for a comfortable, stylish pair of underwear.

Check out the /baskit/ site for more information and other styles.

You can find these available for sale at

Aware Soho Speed Racer Jockstrap - A Men's Underwear Review

Reviewed by Shayne

Be Aware. Be Sexy. Be Comfortable. Aware SOHO have created a sexy yet comfortable jockstrap in basic black with a very modern 1.5” waistband. The waistband features the AWARE SOHO brand in the front centre panel with horizontal stripes of bright pink, brilliant blue and white stripes on a black background. This adds to the charm of a modern yet sophisticated jockstrap.

Front: Aware SOHO have constructed the jockstrap out of cotton (95%) and Elastane (5%). By adding the Elastane to the fabric, it allows the pouch to mould nicely around your package and makes it look more enticing for any possible suitor. However, the pouch needs to be larger for those of us that are larger endowed. I noticed that if you become too excited that it does not quite hold your package enough. Although, I wore the jockstrap to work all day and felt well supported throughout day. This would be a fantastic jockstrap when mucking around with hot guys on the basketball court or while exercising at the gym.

Back: The rear straps add to the comfort to the underwear, the straps are not too tight. Rather, the straps help to shape your buttocks and frame them nicely. The straps are wide enough and do not dig in even with wearing the jockstrap for the whole day. Although, I did need to adjust the straps a couple of times.

Style: A very modern and sporty looking jockstrap where you will you will be the centre of attention. The basic black jockstrap with the vibrant colours in the waistband will continue to look great even after considerable wear. However, one downfall coming from Australia is the sizing. Normally I wear SMALL jockstraps, however, like other brands like Bike I have needed to wear a larger size. This is the case with Aware SOHO where I needed to wear a LARGE jockstrap. If you are going to buy one remember to try and size up slightly.

Craftsmanship: Aware SOHO has attempted to construct a quality men's underwear with using well-sourced materials, which adds to the comfort. However, Aware SOHO needs to spend some more time in the machining of the product. There are several instances across the garment where the stitching is starting to unravel, especially in the pouch and at the sides where the straps are attached.

An affordable jockstrap ($19 USD) for those who want to look sexier without maxing out your credit cards. Aware SOHO also has a variety of other colors and looks in their jockstrap collections. Go have a look at their website: http://www.awaresoho.com.

If you're more of a briefs guy than a jockstrap guy, check out the review on Aware Soho's Sports Brief.

RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR

Overall Rating	4/5	A sexy and modern jockstrap, which will look hot on!
Fit	3.5/5	Fits snugly around the buttocks however the pouch needs to be roomier. Remember the sizes can be quite small.
Style	4/5	Very fashionable cut and sexy in basic black
Fabric	5/5	Very comfortable and adds to the contours of your physique
Quality	3.5/5	High quality material however some faults in the stitching.
