Groovin' String Bikini - A Men's Underwear Review
6/29/2010 11:55:00 AM |

Menswear Review
With my now fourth review of Groovin' men's underwear, I have a pretty good feel for the brand and am quite pleased. I loved my Groovin' Cup Boxer, Groovin' Lowrise Hip Brief and Groovin' Lowrise Wide Waistband Brief, and now ... I have had the chance to review their String Bikini. For a bit more about Groovin', check out the post about the brand. The Groovin' String Bikini is a very skimpy pair of men's underwear - obvious considering the name. The String Bikini is made from the same material as the Cup Boxer Brief, Lowrise Hip Brief and Lowrise Wide Waistband Brief I reviewed earlier- 92% Nylon, 8% Lycra blend. While skimpy, the material is very stretchy and molds to all of your manhood nicely.
All in all, these are a sexy little pair of men's underwear. I am a huge fan of Groovin' and haven't been disappointed yet. While the String Bikini is a bit too skimpy for my daily wear collection, it can certainly find a spot for a fun night out (or in). I can recommend them to you as a sexy, well made string bikini.
At $13.99-16.99 (USD) these are a decent buy
You can find Groovin' online through Amazon, http://www.groovin.sg, and http://www.mensurbandesigns.com. To stay up to date with Groovin', checkout their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter.
Again, hopefully we will see Groovin' more widely available as they are actively looking for local or regional partnerships.

ManView Bodywear 69 er's - A Men's Underwear Review
I've written a couple of reviews now on ManView Bodywear, one of the lesser-known brands that really make fantastic men's underwear. They've been around a bit but seem to be getting more attention with their "New Styles", their site delineates between their new and previous collections. You may recall that I've reviewed several of ManView Bodywear's New Styles: China Groove, About Face, and Flavours, and Splash - giving them fantastic reviews on all of them.
My previous reviews were all on on boxer-brief style underwear. The 69 er's, however, is a brief style - and what a brief it is. :-)
The 69 er's are definitely more of a sport brief in their cut - generally a snugger fit. The brief sports 4 inch sides as you would expect in a sports brief, but is definitely lowrise. As a lowrise, these were quite comfortable throughout the day and gave me full seat coverage.
The 69 er's have a contoured pouch to give your boys some room. I did find, however, that the pouch is still a bit snug - something you'll want if your playing sports. If you're looking for all day wear and like a snug fitting brief, this will serve you well.The overall craftsmanship and quality is quite good on these, as they were with the other ManView underwear styles I reviewed. These also have double stitched flat seams throughout and are made from the same quality 95% cotton / 5% spandex blend as the others I've reviewed.
On style, I do think these are an attractive, masculine sport brief. The soft wider waistband sporting "69" and the contrasting stitching stand out. In addition, I like how the contrasting color in the fly really brings attention to the front and center.
All-in-all, I enjoyed these briefs and find them to be great for sport or a fun night out. My personal taste for all day wearing is a more relaxed pouch so I'd probably grab one of their other styles. Like I stated earlier, if you like a snug fit, you'll love these for all day wearing too. I'd again recommend ManView Bodywear and the 69-er. Reasonably priced at $15.99 USD, they're a great buy.

Bonobos 'The Corps' Pants - A Men's Clothing Review
The Corps, named after some of our nations greatest heroes, are a wonderful pair of khakis that are comfortable, stylish and well made. Perhaps what I like best about the Bonobos Corps are that they are incredibly versatile. They are handsome enough to wear to work with a button-down shirt or polo, but I can also wear them for a night out without feeling over dressed. Hey, I could even wear these to the neighborhood picnic.
Bonobos stress the importance of having properly fitting pants and urges buyers to use a local tailor for final hemming. The Corps, however, are available with a finished hem - sometimes, you just don't want to or have time for a tailor. When I ordered these, they came promptly and were packaged well with tissue paper.
I ordered my size, 34x32, hopeful they would fit well -- I typically don't order something of the internet that I haven't tried on before. Knowing that Bonobos had an easy exchange policy, I was comfortable with giving it a try. I'm happy to report, the pants fit very well.
For me, I selected the Montgomery Brown. You can also get these pants in Eisenhower Tan, Patton Stone, or MacArthur Steel.
The Corps pants are available in either a straight leg or a slight boot cut - I chose the athletic straight leg cut. What's interested about these pants is that the measurements were dead on. Sometimes when I pull pants off the rack at my local department store, a 32" inseam bunches at the foot - ok if you're a hip-hop singer, not ok if you're anyone else.
Pants shouldn't bunch at the foot, they should only have a single break at the front of the shoe (crease of fabric). In the back of the shoe, the hem should rest where the heel meets the lower part of the shoe. This is where I found my new Bonobos. The Corps come in 4 different inseam options - 30, 32, 34, and 36.
For the waist, Bonobos put a slight curve at the waistband to make them fit better. The waistband is nicely lined with proper stitching. At the front, you'll find the signature Bonobos "B" button for closure. Around the waist, you'll find 5 wide belt loops. I really appreciate the wider belt loops to accommodate my wide belts - creating a casual, youthful look. I wear a narrower belt with typical dress pants, but prefer to wear a wider belt with my more casual pants.
If you're new to Bonobos, get ready for some fun, interesting looks. While I'm not so sure that I'd wear pink pants, it may be fun to have a pair of their green for St. Patrick's day or their American flag pants for our 4th of July. Even if you're not a 'wild on the outside' kind of guy, you can still have a bit of fun with their more conservative pants, like The Corps.
The material Bonobos uses inside these pants, and most all of their pants, are a contrasting, hip pattern. For my pants, I had a red and yellow plaid liner with a purple zipper (which you don't see unless you're taking your pants off - you're the only one who knows). As little bonus, Bonobos sews in a smaller pocket within the right front pocket where your coins drop - avoiding the jingling as you walk; I really like when brands add the smaller inner pocket.
The overall fit of these pants were comfortable and flattering. For a guy like myself who doesn't have much of a derriere I found these pants quite flattering. All too often, pants off the rack leave me with a bit of a saggy looking butt - causing me to have to tailor my pants, and adding to the overall cost. With the Bonobos Corps, I actually had a real butt! Through the thighs and legs, I also found these pants to fit remarkable well.
All in all, I can confidently recommend these, and other Bonobos products to you. Through my experience with these pants and their swim shorts, I've found Bonobos to create high quality products that simply fit well! While they're clothing isn't cheap, it's well worth the money you'll pay - $88. Why pay $50 for a pair of Dockers and have ill-fitting pants and a saggy butt when you can spend a bit more and get a proper pair of pants?
Bonobos is giving you multiple reasons to try out a pair of Bonobos. For a limited time, you can buy 3 and save $30 or buy 5 and save $70.
In addition, Bonobos is running a promo where you can get $50 off your first order when a friend refers you to Bonobos. Once you buy your first pair, you too can send an email promo code so they can get $50 off their first order - win, win for all.
If you'd like $50 off your first order, fill out the short form below and I'll send an email with the promo code to you (every code is different). Sorry for the form, but trying to avoid spambots...
