Nation Up North (NUN) Giveaway - Question #2 Winner Is ....
CONGRATULATIONS TO....
Bryan Miller
The correct answer for Question #2 (What is Reason #1 of the "10 Good Reasons" to buy Nation Up North?) was "There is no itchy laundry label sown in the back - it is printed inside."
In trying to make the time the question is posted for all of my readers reasonable, Question #3 will be posted at 3:00 pm my time, which is:
- San Francisco: 2:00pm
- Chicago: 3:00pm
- New York: 4:00pm
- London: 8:00pm
- Sydney: 7:00am (the next day)
Check back here at that time or look for a post on Twitter and Facebook!
Helpful hint in case you didn't see it. NUN's website is in a different language (from English) but they do have an English version - look for the link at the bottom of their page. Foramodernman also has info about NUN on their site.

JM Skinz Pouch Boxer Brief
JM, A brand I written about a couple of times now, has a variety of product lines. Most recently, I tried the JM Skinz Pouch Boxer Brief. The Skinz Collection is made from a microfiber/spandex blend which creates a silky-like material. I found the boxer brief to be fairly comfortable for day-long wearing. The pouch has ample room and has elastic banding to keep the pouch formed. The legs also have elastic bands which help keep the legs where they belong. The leg bands were noticeable after a number of hours of wearing these which brought down the score a bit. I did the like the color select and style of the boxer-brief, as well as the fabric. Overall, they're a pretty good boxer-brief but would likely pick their bamboo line as a personal choice.

Float your boat ...
A few weeks back, I had the joy of reviewing a pair of Undertoys Doodle Briefs. This week, I've again had the pleasure of reviewing another pair from their line up. Undertoys Battleboats Trunk are just as fun and comfortable as their briefs.
Undertoys really does have a fun, playful collection of prints to choose from (so you'll never get bored). Made from a cotton/spandex blend (and according to undertoys magic fairy sprinkles too) the boxer brief is reasonably soft, comfortable and has some stretch to it. The cut of the boxer brief creates comfort the day's wearing. I found the pouch to be quite adequate and the legs stayed where they should.
They are reasonably priced at $20.95 AUS (aprx $18.95 USD). AND if there's a lady in your life, they make fun women's undertoys too!

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.
