Nation Up North - One of the BEST!!
If you're looking for a super-comfortable, attractive boxer brief I've found it!
Nation Up North (NUN) creates one of the most comfortable pair of boxer briefs I've ever worn. Somewhat of an "underground" brand, I really think NUN needs to come to the surface so all can enjoy these awesome boxer briefs! Made from 47.5% Modal, 47.5% cotton, 5% elastane, the material is incredibly soft, breathable and comfortable. I've seen an increase in the use of Modal and it's easy to see why.
The fit of the boxer brief is comfortably snug. I tried both the medium and large (as a 34" I often hover between sizes). I found a VERY comfortable pouch and was comfortable supported throughout the day. Because of the natural stretch of the fabric, I was easily comfortable in both sizes. The legs of the boxer brief stayed where they should and didn't bunch up at all. The cut of the boxer brief is also appealing and purposeful. The side seam angles, which creates a pleasing aesthetic and a functional purpose in movement. It's easy to see why the UFC guys weighed in with NUN with NO sponsorship from NUN.
On top of the boxer brief I also had the pleasure of trying their color-matched t-shirt made from the same fabric. Just as incredibly soft and comfortable with great wicking and moisture control. My staple t-shirt now.
I can't say it sincerely enough - you will really LOVE these boxer briefs. I was so impressed I thought we have to figure out a way to get more guys to try these out AND SO it'll happen.

JM Bamboo Brief
JM, A brand I reviewed a few weeks ago hits it big again with their Bamboo brief (#92152). Just like their Bamboo pouch boxer brief (#92537) and the Bamboo T-Shirt (#92571) the Bamboo brief is made from incredibly luxurious 92% Bamboo/8% Spandex blend that just feels incredible on. The black brief I tried was very comfortable, supported me well, and looked great. I had plenty of rear coverage and wore these comfortably all day. These are easily one of my favorites and would highly recommend.

Tribe Aspect Mesh Slim Side Brief Review...
The Tribe Slim Side Brief in abstract mesh is not just a good looking brief, it's comfortable as well. The slim side brief is cut slim on the side and high on your hip for comfort and looks. I tried the Tribe Slim Side Brief in abstract mesh, but it's also available in other fabrics too.
I found the brief to have minimal coverage for an attractive look yet maintaining a good comfort level. There was adequate room in front and full coverage for me in the rear (something that's important to me.) The front pouch is lined with abstract mesh and is less transparent than that of the rear. The Abstract Mesh creates a very sexy transparent mesh with a cool, abstract print (hence the name.)
I definitely recommend this brief if you looking for a sexy, mesh, comfortable brief. If you fluctuate between two sizes on the size guide, you may want to consider going up a size - of course depending on if you typically fluctuate up or down on your size.

Male Power Extreme Collection - Rip Off Thong
The Rip Off Thong by Male Power is part of their Extreme Collection; and,oh yes, it is! The thong is made to look like faux leather but really looks like shiny material when close up. I wasn't sure how comfortable it would be when I saw that the thong was wider than expected. It was, though, actually pretty comfortable and could be worn all day. I did like the Rip Off feature, adding some additional fun to bedroom activities. It's not my favorite thong, but definitely worth a look. I've seen it for $15-$18 (USD) which is reasonably priced for what you get, plus the fun of the Rip Off. You may want to check out the rest of their Extreme Collection yourself at www.malepower.com.
Male Power has a large selection from daily wear to evening wear (if you know what I mean). Some resellers of Male Power include:

Sean John Selvage Detail Jean Review
The Sean John Selvage Detail Jean is a great pair of jeans. Made of 100% cotton, the denim is of a good thickness and has quality stitching. The style is a traditional one with button waist and zip fly. There's a bit of trim on the back and inner side seam, adding to the style. I found the jeans to be very comfortable and true to size. They hold up well after multiple washes. Great looking jeans that hold up well and look great on.

Be A SuperDude, you won't regret it ...
Boys and their Hardwear nail it again with their boxer brief. Earlier, I wrote a review on Boys and the Hardwear brief, which I wrote a positive review on. On Monday, I knew it was going to be a rough day heading back to work after 10 days of vacation. There was only one way I'd be able to accomplish this feat of returning to work, I needed to be a SuperDude. That is exactly what I did. I wore my SuperDude boxer briefs was able to happily, and without incident, make it through the tough day back!
Similar to the briefs, the boxer briefs are also made from 90% cotton/ 10% spandex, creating a comfortable material. These were an extremely comfortable boxer brief to wear all day. The material was soft, had some give to it, the leg bands kept the legs in place, and they were fun to wear. I must say, if these were a plain color or some hideous color, I'd still buy them they were that comfortable to wear. But fear not, because these are a "superman" color scheme with the cool SuperDude logo across the pouch. Comfort and fun all in one - that's what I'm talking about! Easily on my favorite's list!
Boys and their Hardwear are having a sale right now so if you buy 3 you get free shipping. Really, you need to check these out.
