April 2011 Archives

This month’s Underwear of the Month is from a newcomer to MensUnderwearStore.com. Huge in China and Japan, this if the first time we’re carrying the brand, Private Structure.

These undies come in a variety of styles, including briefs, trunks, the harder-to-find hipsters, and the ever popular pouch trunks. All styles are made of breathable cotton and the perfect amount of spandex for a form-fitting silhouette. They also come in a wide variety of bright colors to suit any mood you’re in. Hint: these styles tend to run small, so it is suggested to order a size up.

OK, it’s only April. So maybe it’s still cold and rainy in most parts of the US (and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere). But it’s beach weather somewhere. And we’ve got a whole lot of stylish and sexy new swimsuits so you’ll look HOT for your next day at the beach.

Some faves:

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to the CK One Micro range, which beside the hip brief – which will be the focal point of this review – also includes a low rise trunk and boxer brief.

And let me tell you, I am really excited to get the opportunity to review yet another item from Calvin Klein’s extensive men’s underwear range!

First off, I should thank MensUnderwearStore.com for supplying the undies. It’s one of my top places to shop for Calvin Klein underwear. They have one of the widest selection of CK styles I’ve come across on the net.

So, if you’re a CK-o-holic, remember to check this store out. As for the CK One Micro range, I have been most pleased wearing both the hip brief as well as the trunk. It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of almost all Calvin Klein underwear out there, so I’ll admit it was hard not to be biased when I first tried out the briefs.

However, this also meant that I had high expectations for what I was about to wear. And CK does manufacture their underwear in China which – honestly – doesn’t always promise well for the production quality.

I’ve put the briefs (and trunks) through the usual tests that we favor here on Guys’ Underwear Blog. I wore them for a full day of work and running errands, put them through the washer, and wore them once more to see how they held up.

The main (and truly honest) conclusion is that I can find little wrong with this brief. Most of all, I’m in love with the 91 % / 9 % Elastane fabric blend, which was extremely lightweight, soft and highly breathable. That makes the the CK One Micro range a hit for hot summer days as well as athletic activities.

As for the final grade and a detailed run-through of the look, suitability, fit, and pricing, scroll down to the overview below the pics.

CK fan or not, if you like high-quality, reliable underwear with lots of brand attitude, you’ll love the Calvin Klein CK One Micro Hip Brief (as well as the boxer brief or trunk).
