I See London, I See France
It’s what’s on the inside that counts with these men’s underwear shops.
Gentleman’s Agreement
If you’ve got butt cheeks that you could crack a walnut on then why, in heaven’s name, would you keep them hidden away? Why not suspend them like a couple of silky peaches in a slingshot or you could just buy a pair of Joxx Briefs by Gregg. They say X marks the spot—well, it certainly does in this case! If the straps don’t stretch your imagination, try the Brazilian bikini briefs which have a huge flower blossoming on the crotch. Or, squeeze into a range of skimpy delights from Vizeau which masterfully boost the bulge. These are only a few of the sexy designs available at Gentlemen’s Agreement—a store eager to help us “recharge our sexual energy.”

SPY Henry Lau
Don’t be embarrassed in the locker room with some decidedly un-sporting pants! You’ve got to work that muscle boy image 24/7 with briefs that hug your hips and celebrate that washboard stomach. But that doesn’t mean big, butch boxers. Sporty can be sleek and stylish as Hong Kong designer Henry Lau’s Spy collection more than proves. Also ideal for lounging in after a summer swim, these highly desirable designs will sell your muscular torso better than Calvin ever did. Our favorites are the lilac bikini briefs with the cheeky bum motif and the white pair with the gun on the crotch. It’s cocked but is it loaded?

Toot
Soul singer Denise LaSalle asked us “not to mess with her toot toot” and “Bad Girl” Donna Summer didn’t know whether to toot toot or beep beep. Thankfully Japanese underwear brand Toot know exactly what goes where. In fact, they offer a range of briefs so vast, it’s certain to get your knickers in a potentially painful twist. Want to make a saucy statement, then snap up the classic black bikini-style briefs which beg, “Kiss Me Again” or choose the brown leather pair with a peek-a-boo fringe which have “Paradise” slapped on the ass. Flicking the Vs at boring, traditional underwear (no more tighty whities please), Toot also sell Ginch Gonch. The Vancouver underwear design company “sets trends for the rear end” in a line that combines humor and sexuality. Encouraging wearers to “live like a kid,” they have pants with bikes and cat-inspired undies such as “Tainted Tiger,” “Pretty Kitty” and “Marvelous Meow.” Purrfect!
