aussieBum 60's Shorts Range
Makes the Top 10 Swim Shorts List
$58 (Aprx USD)
It's hard enough to get on the Menswear Review's Top 10 Swim Shorts List, and its an incredibly
rare occurance to achieve the status of placing on the Top 10 List TWICE!! aussieBum has, however, made this feat possible with their new Bondi Series range and the new styles that were recently added to their 60's Range. Congratulations assieBum!
MATERIAL
The board shorts are made from a quality grade 100% Polyester, same as the aB Bondi Surf range. The 60s Shorts feature a partial lining (brief style) for support and comfort.
POCKETS
There is a single rear pocket that would comfortably carry a hotel key or anything else. The pocket as two grommet holes on the bottom for drainage. On top, the pocket is securely sealed with velcro so your key, or whatever else, doesn't fall out.
FIT
A comfortable fit. The partial (brief style) line was comfortable and supportive when wearing during more active sports, like volleyball, versus just wearing as swim shorts. The 60s Shorts are a shorter board short and similar in length to the Bondi Surf range. I like the look and feel of a traditional board short. The 60s Short gave me the same comfort but with a more attractive look. I like the shorter legs of the 60s Short and that it allows my legs to get a bit more sun.

These fit very well and like the slightly shorter legs over the knee-length. I do enjoy, though, a liner-free swim short.

aussieBum Bondi Series Makes Top 10 List!
aussieBum Bondi Surf Series
Makes the Top 10 Swim Shorts List!
Inspired by Bondi Beach, aussieBum just released this awesome new range. Menswear Review was the only place you could find the pre-lease leak of the new Bondi Series - well, at least the first :-)
The new Bondi Series is definitely a retro look with a surfwear print twist. The Bondi Series are a shorter swim trunk, very similar in length to aB's Scent Ocean range. In my opinion, they are still in the comfort zone for modesty for guys that aren't quite ready to move to square-cut trunks but would like them a bit shorter than the traditional boardies. The Bondi Surf Series rests about mid-thigh.
As always, I really enjoy the colors and patterns they roll out. The Bondi Surf Series will come in three different colors/designs: Black with blue and white florals (Sand), Blue with orange and white florals (Sun), and Light Blue with red florals (Surf). all of the designs utilize white piping around the legs and sides, giving them the retro look.
MATERIAL
The board shorts are made from a quality grade 100% Polyester. The swim trunks are unlined and feature a gathered waistband with string tie in the front. These were very fast drying.
POCKETS
There are two mesh front pockets that are deep enough to be usable -though I wouldn't leave my hotel key in them.
FIT
A very comfortable fit. The gathered waistband allows for accommodating slight changes in sizing. I really liked how the legs rested mid-thigh. This gave me a comfortable feel and allowed my legs to get a bit more sun.
Enjoy the Surf, Sun or Sand in these awesome retro swim shorts. The Bondi Series are truly fabulous swim shorts and can easily recommend these to you. Enjoy.

Aussiebum's 2010 Celebrate Valentine's Day Underwear Review
Aussiebum's 2010 Valentine's Day Celebrate Collection is simply awesome! I've had the pleasure of reviewing the Celebrate brief and boxer. My Monday started out as a gloomy rainy day but changed quickly when my Aussiebum package arrived just as I was pulling out of the driveway. I, of course, had to pull back in and change just so I could try these out today. Really, what better way to turn around a gloomy Monday than to wear a pair of fun Aussiebum briefs?
Without a doubt the playful, sassy designs will grab your attention. When I first pulled the briefs out of the packaging I immediately had to check what they were made out of because they looked so silky. The joy doesn't stop there. The brief is made from 75% polyester/25% elastane which gives it the silky look while providing comfortable stretch. The fabric's silky sheen also provides a silky feel on. The quality of the brief is quite evident as you look at the stitching of the waist band and leg bands. The waistband is incredibly comfortable, as are the leg bands. I found the leg bands to hold the brief in place nicely without being overly binding. The cut of the brief allows the brief to sit just right on your body. Combining the cut and fabric, the briefs support you, accentuate your form, and feel great on.
All around, as is typical for Aussiebum, they're a hit. You'll notice that Aussiebum is listed in my Valentine's Day Shopping Guide - check 'em out!
