Just a guy sharing his love for underwear of all kinds!
Tag: Maroon
This angle doesn’t let you see much of the jockstrap itself, but I think there’s enough here to make a review on!
The brand here is Coyote, one I haven’t found before seeing this picture, and it seems like it’s a fairly straightforward, simple brand based on their website. They don’t offer many different types of underwear, and they don’t seem to name any of their offerings either. What they do, though, seems to be done fairly well!
The pair here is the burgundy version of their jockstrap, with the color being the only thing differentiating it from most* of their other jockstrap options. All seem to have a fairly softer fabric for the pouch, maybe a bit on the thicker side, so I’m guessing they’re very comfy. The waistband is a bit taller (2″) than you find on most underwear, though actually not atypical for more traditional jockstrap, which is nice. The straps seem pretty typical, though in looking at these I’m starting to think of how the anchor point and angle of the straps affects wear between jockstraps… Maybe something I should look into for a future post! Whatever the case, I think I’d definitely be willing to try a pair of Coyotes at some point.
(* They do have a “second style” of jockstrap as well, but the only difference is the setup of the stripe patter on the waistband)
Material: 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex, which generally comes across as very soft (and is) but the fabric on these pairs is somewhat thin and sleek. Very good stretch. The website says these are “designed for daily wear” and I think they pretty well nailed it. You know it’s underwear, and it’s comfortable underwear. Aesthetic: The striping on the pairs, combined with the darker waistband and leg openings, provides a nice bit of visual appeal, more to look at that a solid plain color, but done in a very reserved way. Going with the “designed for daily wear” thing, I can absolutely see these as a pair you would be wearing under your pants at your desk at work, or maybe on a lazy weekend when you’re trying to impress absolutely no one but still feel slightly stylish for yourself. That all said, the choice to pipe the “functional fly” part of the pair (we’ll get to that in a bit) with the darker fabric of the waistband & leg hems gives and impressive visual draw, with the shape almost insinuating a slimming effect or natural curves on its own. Waistband: Pretty typical as waistbands go; good stretch and soft enough while also staying on fairly well. Wears at or above the hips. Pouch: Back when I introduced Saxx and Sheath to my blog, I had the impression that they were relatively unique in the men’s underwear market at putting lots of thought and specialized architecture into making their pouches as fancy as some women’s bras were – lift and separate! In the two years since, I’ve now seen a ton of brands that really cater to the male anatomy, and Separatec is one of several brands to advertise a “dual pouch” design, intended for keeping your boys comfy. For Separatec, this means that your balls are taken care of in a nice, rounded protrusion pouch at the bottom of the pair, which doesn’t have any extra structure inside to separate your balls from your thighs, but the shape of this pouch means any extra structure isn’t needed, as it holds your balls forward quite nicely. Your willie slides through a small hole in the inner layer of fabric to fill down into the main pouch, and I mean down – the pouch is incredibly generous below, but it fairly slim against your body up top. This, along with the fact that the fly openings don’t provide a ton of side-to-side stretch on their own, actually means that the “functional fly” isn’t all that functional – it would take some force to hold the hems open enough to let your dick through, especially if you’re still soft, due to the fact that these openings are also somewhat high up the pair. No need to fret, though – the main pouch is actually open at the bottom, and the pouch is so shapely itself that the amount of fabric there makes is very easy to just slip your willie out from below with the pouch fabric bunched up and out of the way for you to do whatever you want. So, in essence, this pair does have a fairly functional fly – just with the general Separatec pouch design and not with two openings specifically made for this pair.
Backside: Fairly plain, but the stripes make it nice to look at nonetheless, especially with a fairly good under-cheek shape. You can kinda see the “tag” that’s printed on the inside of the back, but unlike other print-on “tags”, this one never feels sticky or sweat-inducing. Legs: Very nice! I like the length, and the leg openings themselves are quite soft, comfy, and stretchy while basically always staying in place. They may feel just a hair tight at times, but this is rare and barely noticeable. Overall: 4.5/5 – these are amazing boxer briefs, and I think the 3-pack was so incredibly worth it. Especially living in a world where WFH is the norm, these are great everyday pairs – just as was apparently intended. Although the visuals aren’t the sexiest around, a full pouch on these boys certainly will draw some attention – and Separatec makes both trunks and briefs with these pouches as well, so those will likely look even sexier when full. Not a full 5/5 only because the intended “functional fly” isn’t, and also because the fabric does have a bit of thickness/weight to it.

I can’t tell what brand this brief is, (there’s a tag on the hip there but it’s too tiny for me to make anything out,) but the pouch is amazingly shaped, and I like the solid, relatively unique color as well. The moderately low cut works well with the stylish hue, too.
Material: 58% Polyester, 36% Rayon, 6% Linen, which is one of the most off-the-wall fabric combinations I’ve ever seen in the hundreds of pairs of underwear that I own, and yet… It’s pretty amazing. Really lightweight and thin, quite soft, and exactly the kind of loose-y-ness that you’d expect from a “sleep short”. Aesthetic: …I really don’t know how to categorize how this pair looks – because it does remind me something but I can’t for the life of me put my finger on what – but let me just say I love the stipes here and the overall look of lounging you get from this pair. The mix of colors for the stripes is great, I really enjoy the little swoop on the bottom hem of each hip, and the drawstring is very fun. Speaking of that… Waistband: There is technically a waistband here, but really all it is is a fold-over of the same material to make a small tube of fabric that’s just enough to hold in the drawstring. I love the fact that you can tie this pair off, but if there’s one small hassle about this pair, it’s that the drawstring isn’t secured in any way and it’s only so long. So, if you don’t tie it off in some way almost all the time, it’s really easy to lose one end of the drawstring into the fabric-tube of waistband itself. Sits somewhere between the waist and the hips generally, though it does somewhat depend on how tight you pull the drawstring. Pouch: Essentially no pouch at all! It’s a flat-front pair, but the fabric is plenty forgiving/loose enough that you don’t ever feel constrained. Often quite the opposite – the loose square cut means there’s no support at all under your balls, which is generally just fine some something you’re supposed to wear to bed. Backside: Similar to the front, there’s not much of note here because of the square cut. The stripes provide some nice visual variety, as I’ve mentioned when talking about briefs’ backsides. There’s a small, smooth, soft tag hanging from the back of the waistband’s backside, and it’s entirely unnoticeable. Legs: They’re here but there’s not much too them! The inseam of this pair is maybe an inch and a half, and with the swoop on the outside of the hip, there isn’t much leg there either. There’s a nice soft hem around the bottom of each leg, though, and they’re loose, as is fitting for sleepwear. Other: I will say that the loose-y-ness I mentioned can be easily seen in the hips on the pics of me above, which isn’t something you generally see in N2N’s promotional images for their various sleep shorts. In those pics, the pair is fairly square-looking and an even fit all around, while on me it’s definitely wider than it is tall, and has that looseness at the hips. If I personally was wide enough to have “stretched” the pair, you’d expect the hips to be the tightest area, not the loosest, so IDK what exactly is going on with the fitting/sizing. Overall: 5/5 – I do really love this pair, both for sleeping and just lounging around. It looks a little sadder on me than I think it would on most other guys, but I still say it’s a great look – sexy both in what it shows off and in how comfy and relaxing it appears. Great for: Loungewear, Sleepwear Good for: Sexy wear
Can’t tell anything about the brands of the underwear here, but I do appreciate the overall “outfit”! It’s a great shade of red, and I’m suspicious that the plain t-shirt and plain briefs might even be from the same producer because of how well they match.
Also can’t see much of the briefs here, but the pouch has a nice shape (and is being filled out nicely here!)
As a final and somewhat unrelated note, I gotta give some props to the model-photographer here; he picked a great spot for lighting, giving some great contrast and setting up the overall mood of the photograph – not quite brooding or moody, but there’s a definite weight to it. The angle of the photo adds to that somewhat-unsettled ambiance, and the simplicity of the background works well with the simplicity of the outfit.
A very fine example of Andrew Christian’s “Trophy Boy” line, showing off exactly what’s supposed to be trophy-winning about the boys wearing it! ;-D
The pouch, clearly, is made for well-hung guys, and the low-rise waistband is there to show off a great set of abs. I can’t tell if this is pink in low lighting or actually a maroon or red, but it’s honestly one of AC’s more muted designs either way – and still quite a looker! Bold in its simplicity. (With a loud waistband.)
I think this particular pair might be a tad tight for the guy wearing them – aside from the pouch, at least, it looks very skintight on the flatter areas. But, as it’s made to be a show-off pair, that’s probably a bit intended!
Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, comfortable enough but nothing to write home about. Aesthetic: Simple is always good, but there’s something sleek about the Basix brief. Maybe it’s the general shape combined with the smooth, almost-but-not-quite-muted dark color. Wasitband: Stealthy, not very tall and covered in the fabric without being much thicker than the rest of the brief, almost doesn’t feel like a waistband. Not the stretchiest elastic around, but the circumference fits perfectly around me, neither loose nor cutting in. Sits low on the hips. Pouch: Most of AC’s underwear features either the Show-It (built-in C-ring) pouch or the Almost Naked (simultaneously lifting and wonderfully loose) pouch; the Basix Brief has neither. Instead, it has a very well-designed basic pouch that provides a slight bit of lift and a pleasant amount of room – it’s a confidently structured pocket that your junk slots very neatly in to. It doesn’t try to overdo anything, satisfying itself with keeping you unencumbered and comfortably in place with just the right amount of space. Backside: AC went all-in with the “basic” thought process here as well, creating a backside that is smooth and simple – not too tight, and not loose either. The “tag” is printed on the inside of the fabric instead of being separate material on the inside of the waistband, which helps for eliminating the potential of feeling the edges of a separate tag, but every once in a while might cause the print to stick to your skin in a way you can consciously feel, especially if you’ve been sweating at all. Legs: No news is good news! Nothing amazing about the leg openings, but definitely nothing bad about them either. Overall: 4.5/5 – a brand known for being over-the-top has created almost the perfect everyday pair of briefs, which is something I’m honestly rather surprised I would ever say! The only reasons I don’t give it a full 5/5 are that it doesn’t have a fly, and that AC has done SUCH a good job of making a reserved, practical-minded, essentially unremarkable pair of underwear that there’s nothing I can really say definitely puts it over the top. (Also, I’m sure there are plenty of guys like you out there that can’t imagine a “boring, single-color pair of briefs” being worthy of a full 5/5.)
