Stonemen
Stonemen Underwear gets a rave review from me. A fairly young brand, Stonemen really brings it home with their fun line of men's briefs. Perhaps I was neglected as a child with only plain underwear because I really like the fun designs Stonemen carries. Is it ok to have fun in your underwear? I say yes! It's odd, but it was simply fun to wear a pair of Stonemen. So, from a style rating I give them strong kudus.
In comfort, they were great! I found Stonemen to be comfortable all day - keeping my, er, stones happy. Made from a great blend of 90% cotton/10% elastine along with a soft cotton waistband, the material is soft with just the right amount of give.
The cut of the brief is somewhere between a brief and a mini-boxer -- square cut. A bit more coverage than a tighty whitey and a bit less than a mini-boxer. They also make them in a rib style and a boxer brief style, all in a variety of fun colors and styles. I tried the ducks, but easily have selected all of the designs!
At $35 AUS / $32 US they are on the higher end of price, but I say they are worth it. If you like to wear fun underwear, these are a must have for your drawer. Check 'em out, you won't regret it. They're certainly on my favorites list.
Also, don't miss their sale (ends Jan 1st). Get free shipping, free gift wrapping, and a free gift if you spend over $100 AUS. Use code: yesplease

Equmen Boxer Briefs - you won't be disappointed!
In a another post, I wrote accolades
about the Equmen Core Point undershirt. I'm about to do the same for
their trunk. The trunk comes a higher than usual price of $58 a pair
but are well worth it.
Made from the same material as the Core
Point undershirt, the trunks were just as soft, comfortable and
supportive as the shirt. The trunk had a snug fit – not to be
confused with a tight fit. One of the problems I often find with
trunks (boxer briefs) is the legs riding up throughout the day. With
the Equmen trunk, I didn't have that problem at all. The legs stayed
just were they should. The engineering behind the trunks is just as
effective as it was on the shirt with their helix-mapping support.
My package and rear felt well supported throughout the day.
From a fashion/style perspective, I
found the trunks to have a masculine look to them while still
providing some sex appeal – let's just say my wife liked them too.
Available in white, grey, blue or black, you should find a pair that
matches your taste.
I feel I put the briefs through a good
battery of tests. I spent my day wearing them under my business suit
and was very comfortable all day. After work I began my workout.
After lengthy exercising I found the trunks (and shirt) to breath
very well, wicking the moisture from me. After my workout, it was
time to shovel out from the foot of snow we were hit with during the
day. Again, I found both the trunk and shirt to perform very well –
wicking away moisture without making me cold.
In sum, they make a perfect undershirt
or base-layer. At $58 a pair they're pricy, but worth the money.
You won't be disappointed. The Equmen underwear also comes in a
brief and as long trunks. I haven't tried these but if they're
anything like the trunks, you'll love them. I've added these to my
personal favorites list.

Equmen Core Precision Undershirt - do yourself a favor
The Equmen Core Precision is simply fantastic. When I first
tried it on, I was concerned it was going to be too tight. After a few minutes,
the shirt felt very comfortable. After moving too many Christmas decorations, I
had strained my back earlier in the week. Throughout the day, I couldn't help
but notice how Equmen was actually helping my back. The design of the shirt
itself is engineered to reduce back pain and support your core.
According to Equmen, their shirt was made to fit tight in
order to give optimum performance. Equmen reports that the undershirt was
designed in conjunction with physiotherapists and ergonomic specialists to
improve posture, reduce back pain and provide core support.You can easily tell
from looking at the shirt that it was purposefully engineered to match your
physiology. The high quality fabric (73% polyester, 13% nylon, 14% spandex) is
really a very comfortable blend of materials.
From a comfort perspective, I've mentioned that the shirt
was comfortable all day (and this was under a dress shirt). What I haven't
mentioned is that I typically am skeptical of v-neck shirts as the collar on
often doesn't come high enough on my neck for my comfort. The Core Precision,
on the other hand fit like a glove and sat on my neck like a typical crew
would.
It's important to know that after I wore the Core Precision
all day under my business suit, I came home to exercise and then shovel the
foot of snow that was dumped during the day. I found the shirt to be incredible
for wicking away sweat without making me cold. In addition, the helix-mapping
helped my back-straining labor of shoveling heavy snow. I simply couldn't have
asked for a better shirt.
I can easily see multiple purposes – as a typical
undershirt, for exercise, as a base-layer, and for its slimming qualities. I
haven't mentioned this yet, but in high school I was a swimmer with a swimmer
build – college and marriage have added a few pounds. I really appreciated the
slimming power of the shirt. Have a wedding or class reunion you're going to
attend? Get one of these to help you out!
The Core Precision undershirt is available in black, grey,
and white. It comes in a longsleeve, crewneck, and tanktop. Main competitors are the RIPT Fusion ($58) and Sclulptee ($78). RIPT gives you the slimming qualities but not the back support. Sculptees gives you nearly the same qualities as Equmen. Equmen gave me better back support, but Sculptees was better at slimming.
In sum, everyone guy should own at least one of the Core
Precision undershirts. If you have back problems, you should probably own a
few. At $99 each they are expensive but oh so worth it. I haven't tried the longsleeve or
tanktop but can only assume they're just as awesome as the v-neck. I've just added Equmen to my list of favorites.

BodyAware Vintage Fishnet Brief -- Smokin'!
What I love about this brief is that it leaves just enough imagination while giving you a sneak peek at what you're in for. I must say, I really do like mesh and sheer briefs. I had my company party last night and wore them to the party. There's something exciting about wearing really sexy underwear - making you think about what'll happen when you get home.
Now, these certainly aren't all day comfort briefs - but I knew that going in. While I wouldn't want to wear them for a 12 hour work day, I was plenty comfortable in them all night. Not once did I feel uncomfortable, have to readjust or wish I was out of them (well maybe I wanted out but for different reasons.)
The mesh fabric is made from 85% nylon/15% spandex. The rear has a full back and the front has contour seams which helps to shape and enhance things nicely. The large "BodyAware" branding on the waistband ads to the appeal.
Available in black, white or blue, the BodyAware Vintage Fishnet Brief is, as I said, a limited edition item so get yours today before they run out.

There's a Buzz in the Air - Have You Heard?
There's a buzz in the air about a new upcoming brand of men's underwear. According to the Urban Dictionary, their name means “Lucky or Very Fortunate.” (It also means ass or anus, but I don't think they're going for that.) :-)
The new brand is positioning themselves
as a men's underwear brand built on culture, personality and
imagination. Who are are they? Jacksy! Jacksy's mission as a
company is “To offer simple, innovative and sexy products for the
modern man in line with current trends, relevant themes and at a
competitive price?"
I don't know about you, but I'm
intrigued. They've got a cool, fun marketing campaign going and will
be launching their product line very soon. I'm excited to be able to
review this new line for you. Look for a review before the new year!
"They say Guys dont care about underwear...
At Jacksy we have other ideas.
A New Brand Is Coming."
RIPT FUSION Slimming Undershirt
RibbedTee RIPT Fusion (pronounced “Rip Tee”) does the job of helping the post-holiday weight gain.
The RIPT FUSION is a body-sculpting (or slimming) undershirt. It claims to support your core, shave inches off your midsection, and enhance your posture. I would agree that the shirt is slimming, but I don't know that I'd go as far to say that it helped my posture or supported my core. As a slimming shirt it did a great job.
The shirt is paneled and made out of 3 different materials – Top: 100% Cotton, Body Panel: 79% Polyester, 21% Spandex. Wearing it all day, I did find it comfortable and it did stay tucked. The slimming feature was nice when wearing a fitted shirt and lowrise pants (still recovering from Thanksgiving).
At $58 it is a bit pricey, but not as much as the $99 Equmen. Depending on what you want in the shirt, you should be happy with the RIPT Fusion. If you just need the slimming effect, you can get away with the RIPT. If you also need the core support and back support, you may want to consider spending the extra money for the Equmen or the Sculptee at $78.

RibbedTee Classic Undershirt Performs as Promised
The RibbedTee Classic Undershirt performs as promised. As someone who wears an undershirt 5 days a week under my shirt and tie, comfort in an undershirt is paramount. Often, I have had problems with the undershirts untucking throughout the day – causing me to go to the restroom and tuck it back in throughout the day. I also don't like how traditional undershirts add bulk. With the RibbedTee Classic, I'm happy to report that I didn't have any problems with the shirt untucking itself and bunching up. In addition, I found the material to be of a reasonable thickness.
The shirt, made of 100% cotton, reminds me of a typical ribbed tank-top, but with sleeves. The length of the shirt is quite long, but this adds to its ability to stay tucked in. I was fearful I'd feel the hem of the shirt throughout the day, but had no problems. The shirt does lose some of it's tightness throughout the day, but didn't cause me any problems. After a washing, the shirt tightened right back up. Because the undershirt is similar to the typical ribbed tank top, the neckline wasn't as high as I typically like.
When I think about my Jockey Go Stretch undershirt and compare it to the RibbedTee - hands down, I'd buy the RibbedTee --- AND for LESS money!!

At about $10 each, the shirt is a great buy for accomplishing the goal of finding an undershirt that stays tucked all day.
