Interview with /baskit/'s CEO, Eric Schwers
Five Questions with Baskit's Eric Schwers: SnugFit SeamlessWith the most recent success of Baskit's new SnugFit Seamless line, Baskit's CEO Eric Schwers offers us the background behind how he was inspired to create this new line, just how it is manufactured and where he hopes to take it.
What was the original impetus that inspired you to create such a uniquely different line of underwear? Have any other underwear brands created something similar to SnugFit Seamless, or is it the first of its kind?
I wish I could take credit for the original design of seamless underwear but I cannot. If you look at some of the luxe European brands like La Perla, Hanro or Zimmerli of Switzerland, they have been making seamless for men for years. I purchased my first pair of seamless a few years ago while living in Austria and I really liked the way it fit and felt. It was a lot like ‘going commando’ but still having some support.
In 2009 I introduced the first pair of SnugFit Seamless briefs to the baskit collection. It did extremely well and we received requests for more colors and styles. So this year we added a trunk and the fishnet fabric. The additions have also done very well and we’re seeing an increase in US men looking for seamless underwear.
Why do you feel that the initial reaction to the SnugFit Seamless line has been so positive?
It really feels great on your body and it looks amazing. Men want underwear which feels good against their skin and feels good in the terms of support. Our SnugFit collection just does this and again, it really doesn’t feel like you’re wearing any underwear, yet you feel supported. Don’t take my word for it. Try some.
Are you planning to take the SnugFit Seamless line further and create different variations of it for new lines? Will you expand it into more colors?
Are you planning to take the SnugFit Seamless line further and create different variations of it for new lines? Will you expand it into more colors?
The short answer is 'yes.' We’ve only designed a brief and a trunk so far, but we’re working on another style for 2011. We’ll be adding more colors too as the line grows, but while seamless is still 'new' to the US market, we want to keep the colors and styles simple.
Tell us a bit about how the SnugFit Seamless line is manufactured? Is it a difficult process?
Tell us a bit about how the SnugFit Seamless line is manufactured? Is it a difficult process?
Wow… I can talk for hours about how seamless underwear is made. It’s really a unique process. Unlike traditional underwear, which is made from individual pieces (i.e. pouch, body, seat), and then sewn together to make a pair of underwear, seamless underwear is actually woven in a continuous circular loom to create the underwear. It takes a very special and quite expensive sewing machine to make the underwear. We use CF Rimoldi, an Italian brand, to make our seamless. Rimoldi is the world leader in seamless underwear and their machines are known, not only for amazing quality, but the ability to execute intricate designs.If you watch a pair of seamless being made, it basically appears before your eyes. The machine is moving very fast and suddenly you begin to see the top edge of the waistband and then slowly the baskit logo becomes visible (and the care instructions are being woven on the inside of the waistband at the same time!) and then the machine continues down to the bottom of the underwear where it is cut from the machine and then finished. So if you look at the SnugFit seamless, there is actually one small, short seam at the bottom of the pouch. It’s hardly noticeable and you certainly never feel it. Ok…I’ll stop talking about the technical part now. It’s just really cool.
What's the difference between the SnugFit Fishnet trunk and the SnugFit Seamless trunk? What causes the line to fit a person's body so well? .
What's the difference between the SnugFit Fishnet trunk and the SnugFit Seamless trunk? What causes the line to fit a person's body so well? .
The SnugFit Fishnet collection is based on our standard SnugFit designs in the brief and trunk. The only difference is in the construction of the weave that makes up the underwear. The fishnet weave is, well, a fishnet design. Think of how fishing net is constructed. We did the same thing in the body and seat of the underwear. However, the pouch is a solid weave. Our Fishnet collection provides a nice airy feel and shows off a little more skin!
SnugFit fits your body like a glove due to the seamless weave and design of the underwear. It’s strange when you see a pair for the first time. It tends to look really small and you think, “This is not going to fit me or be comfortable.” But then you put it on and you feel nothing. It just stretches to fit the form of your body. It gives you the exact amount of support you need in the pouch based on what you’re…well...based on what you’re packing.

RibbedTee's New MicroModal Undershirt - A Men's Undershirt Review
Before I get started with the review, I have to tell you that a quality undershirt is key to my wardrobe. Without a decent undershirt, it doesn't matter how good my shirt or suit is. If you've read the Veritas blog, you certainly know the importance of an undershirt under a dress shirt.
- Neckband and arm bands must lay flat and not be bulky
- Neckband must be of a comfortable material to avoid an itchy collar
- Seems must lay flat to avoid bulk
- Shirt must be long enough to stay tucked in!! This means the shirt should come down to where your buttocks meet your legs - long enough to stay touched in without the bump across the rear. This will stop the "blousing" or fake love handles. Really, what guy want's to look like they have love handles when they don't or bigger ones than they already have!
- Thin material to avoid adding bulk, but be of quality to not wear out too soon.
- Price must be doable -this varies for everyone.
The short review - RibbedTee's new MicroModal MicroRib Undershirt met all of my requirements with flying colors!!
I previously reviewed RibbedTee's Micromodal "Protector" singlet/tank-top, Classic Undershirt, and RIPT Fusion (slimming) - each scoring quit well in their respective categories. What I like about RibbedTee is all of their shirts feature the extra length to help keep them tucked in.
The MicroModal MicroRib Undershirt, RibbedTee's latest, comes in both a crew neck and v-neck. For this review, I tried the crew neck - which I prefer under a dress shirt with a tie. If I were to wear a shirt without a tie I'd opt for the v-neck so that it wouldn't show underneath.
The MicroModal Undershirt is made from, obviously, a Lenzing MicroModal blended with luxury Pima cotton in a micro ribbed fabric (50/50). For those of you new to MicroModal, it is a luxury material that is extremely light weight, breathable, eco-friendly, more durable than cotton, and silky soft. The Pima cotton compliments this well as being recognized as one of the finest grades of cotton in the world due to its long, luxurious fibers. So, needless to say, RibbedTee's MicroModal undershirt is incredibly soft and comfortable. In comparison to the other well-known stay-tucked undershirt (Tommy John), I must say that I like RibbedTee's blend better. Tommy John's fabric tends to stretch out more during the day and felt more "clingy" in comparison to RibbedTee's.
The overall fit of the undershirt was stellar. The length of the shirt sat as it should - just at the bottom of my buttocks so it'd stay in. An ex-Marine friend of my shared a tip a bit ago of tucking your shirt in your underwear so it wouldn't ride up. I did this out of necessity but hated the feel because you felt the bottom hem across your butt all day. The miracle of this shirt is that it stays tucked in, without being in your underwear, and doesn't hit you across the rear where you have the uncomfortable rub all day.
There are a few stay-tucked undershirts on the market today. As of this writing, and in my opinion, I'd rank RibbedTee at the top of the list of stay-tucked undershirts for it's quality, comfort MicroModal/Pima Cotton blend, function, and value. At $29 it is an expensive undershirt - considering you can buy a pack of Hanes for much less. Before trying a stay-tucked undershirt there was no way I thought I'd pay close to $30 for an undershirt; after trying stay-tucked undershirts there's no way I'd buy a regular undershirt - no matter how cheap it is. With RibbedTee, you're definitely getting what you pay for! If you're still not sure about $30 for an undershirt, you can always try RibbedTee's Classic undershirt at two for $18.50 - also a stay-tucked design (see my review). The MicroModal is definitely a luxury undershirt, but aren't you worth it? Either way, MicroModal or Classic, you can't go wrong!
** The picture shown is of RibbedTee's v-neck MicroModal - same material and quality as the crew neck I tried.
RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR
Overall Rating | 5/5 | Easily a favorite and definitely recommend |
Fit | 5/5 | Fit perfect |
Style | 5/5 | Hey, it's an undershirt - but yes it looks great by itself too |
Fabric | 5/5 | A perfect blend |
Quality | 5/5 | Very well made - and tagless! |

The Man Rules
Finally, the guys’ side of the story:
We always hear the rules from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered “1″
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after seven Days.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something, or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say ‘nothing,’ we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really .
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football or Baseball.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape
