I have mentioned several times in the past that my obsession in underwear focuses around jockstraps, but on occasion I venture outside the pouch and the straps. This past week I reviewed a pair of briefs that are pretty unique. The brand is Schultz Jeans and they are out of London, England. They are known for their designer jeans but also have a line of underwear for both him and her. Just like the Dirty Fukker jock that I reviewed last time, this line of underwear is available for those who are local to Atlanta, GA at Poster Hut.
Since I am a person with a complete bias towards anything that isn’t a jockstrap, I am probably the best person to review everything else. The specific Schultz briefs that I reviewed are the “Coming Soon” briefs. The very unique thing about the Schultz Jeans brand of underwear is that they have tag lines on the waistbands. Besides the “Coming Soon”, there are “I Want Out”, “Hands Free”, and “Heatseeker”. Besides the catchy phrases the briefs and the boxers also come in several bold colors.
The briefs fit pretty well overall. I sported a size large and felt that was the correct size for me. They covered all the areas I would want a pair of briefs to cover. I did feel however, that the pouch could have had a bit more room in it. Regardless of this, I felt the briefs fit well and was very comfortable. The material used was soft and had a ribbed texture. The combination of these factors lead to a well assembled pair of briefs. I felt that the brief wasn’t like the old style of briefs that had a great deal of material on the sides but at the same time are not as skimpy as bikini briefs. I love the look of the briefs. The colors are bold and the tag lines are very eye-catching. I wore the briefs all day long as well as at the gym and they held up very well.
To sum up, I believe the Schultz “Coming Soon” briefs are great and have just a bit of attitude. This is always a good thing. I give it an overall rating of 4.8 on a scale of 5.
Fit: 4
Materials: 5
Put Together: 5

Daily Wear: 5
Overall: 4.8
If you want underwear with attitude you need to check out these briefs along with the other styles and colors they offer. You can purchase the Schultz Jeans underwear line from their website at http://www.schultzjeans.com/ or if you live in or around the Atlanta, GA area you can have instant gratification and pick yours up at Poster Hut located at 2175 Cheshire Bridge Road.
European designers are asking you to go where no self-respecting denim-wearing fashionista has gone before: beltless. Schultz Jeans is pushing a line of designer men and womens jeans with a Schultz Jeans Strap that holds your pants up from the inside. Looks like the strap comes in either a cowboy print, leather or denim.
According to the website, this allows you to wear the jeans without a belt, low on your hips, even with the fly wide open. Talk about easy access. Plus it gives you a chance to show off your pricey underwear to the entire world and not just a lucky few in the bedroom.
Schultz also touts a line of simple but sexy underwear.
We’re not sure where we stand with the beltless jeans. May have to try a pair on to truly give our opinion but don’t be surprised if the open fly, beltless look makes it way to 4th street soon.
(from schultzjeans.com) Schultz Jeans have created a brand new range of designer mens jeans. Made in Europe, the jeans all feature the exclusive and unique Schultz Jeans Strap (international patent pending). There are currently 6 different mens jeans designs to choose from but the one common theme is the strap. Schultz jeans are designed to be worn fashionably low on the hips to show off the waistband of your underwear. Schultz designer mens and womens jeans allow you to go one step further – they can even be worn with the fly fully open, and your jeans will not fall down.
As sales of women’s clothing have languished, felled by complaints about a lack of new fashions or fashions that women actually want to wear (who can forget the Jessica Simpson in high-waisted jeans debacle?), men’s apparel has been pointed to as a bright spot in an otherwise weak market.
But what exactly have men been buying?
Well, it appears to be underwear.
According to data released by NPD, the dollar value of apparel sales in the first half of this year was down 7 percent compared with a year ago, with sales of tailored clothing falling the most — down 11.4 percent.
There were only two categories that showed sales growth — fleecewear up 2.1 percent (We wonder if sales of Snuggies were captured in that number?) and male underwear — up 4.8 percent.
Part of that growth was due to higher prices. The average price for a piece of male underwear in the first half of the year was $2.93, up from $2.86 a year ago, according to NPD.
But the real question remains — is it boxers or briefs that are fueling the growth? And could this be good news for Abercrombie, which has been championing the dressed-only-below-the-belt male model look for years?
THE Daily Mail wrote: What is it about men and pink clothes? As soon as a man reveals a liking for them, the rumours start to fly that he’s a bit too keen on musical theatre, if you know what I mean. The new Oxford English Dictionary even defines pink to mean ‘of or associated with homosexuals’, as in ‘the pink pound’. Schultz reply “We love and adore pink and so do our customers men and women alike love wearing quirky and exclusive PINK designer underwear - it’s original and sexy as well as fun and flirty so what more could any one want man or woman.”
In the pink: Brad Pitt wears a blush coloured suit at the Cannes Film Festival and David Beckham teams his masculine biker jacket with a pink scarf to soften the look.
The latest victim of this colour prejudice is Peter Spencer, Sky’s political correspondent - the one with the mane of white hair, given to expansive hand gestures - who often appears on telly at the weekends. He likes to wear a cloak over pink shirts and ties, and even has a pink BMW, and two pink houses, in north London and Cornwall. Yet Spencer is very much a ladies’ man.
The camp connotations come from the fact that for much of the 20th century pink has been considered a girl’s colour, as favoured by Barbie. But if you look back a bit further, it was considered strong and manly, while blue (associated with the Virgin Mary) was seen as delicate and feminine.
To this day, the strapping male rowing teams at Westminster School wear a fondant-fancy coloured kit; legend has it that they had to beat their arch-rivals Eton in a race in 1837 for the privilege of wearing the fashionable colour.
The link between pink and ebullient masculinity has, in some quarters, persisted. When I was a banker in the mid-Nineties at merchant bank Flemings, I was told on my training course not to wear a pink shirt for fear of looking too flash.
In other words, the opposite of the pretty-in-pink, girly-man cliche held true: a little splash of pink was thought far too red-blooded and testosterone-rich.
(I wonder what they’re wearing in the City these days - something in an eye-catching shade of sackcloth and ashes perhaps?) The same robustly macho associations go for pink handkerchiefs and socks; and I mean screaming bubblegum pink, rather than the dark red, discreet version. Lurid pink accessories imply a certain type of devil-may-care dandiness - and that’s Rex Harrison/Prince Philip/Errol Flynn dandiness, by the way, not the John Inman/Noel Coward variety. Full-throttle pink outfits, however, are best left to Hollywood pretty boys such as Brad Pitt.
Schultz love pink all you have to do is read any of the pther articles I have written to know that so regardless of who ou are PINK is a great colour and wear it with pride and enjoy.
Schultz have created a brand new range of designer jeans for men. Made in Europe, and with 6 different styles to choose from, the jeans all feature the exclusive and unique Schultz Strap (international patent pending) - probably the biggest innovation to happen in men’s designer jeans in the last 100 years! Designed to be worn fashionably low on the hips to show off the waistband of your underwear, Schultz designer jeans allow you to go one step further - they can even be worn with the fly fully open, and they simply will not fall down.
Men’s and women’s underwear has come a long way since boring old days of plain white cotton. Schultz has introduced a brand new stylish range of men’s and women’s designer underwear with a good dose of attitude thrown in too. It’s time to make a statement with your underwear and throw out your boring old undies.
Exciting, stylish and provocative, Schultz underwear is a kick up the backside for fashion. With boxers, briefs and thongs in a great choice of colours, we’ve got statements that include Hands Free (inspired by the freedom the new Schultz Strap gives you) to Coming Soon (well, everyone loves an optimist don’t they?). There’s also the fun and cheeky slogans of Heatseeker (looking for some hot stuff perhaps?) to the fairly straightforward message of I Want Out (take out of that whatever you will!). There’s no excuse for boring underwear any more, get your hands on some Schultz underwear today.
Schultz Jeans has introduced a new idea that might mean the end of the belt: the Schultz Strap.
The strap attaches to buttons on either the outside back or inside front of the jeans. This allows you to wear your Schultz jeans low slung or even open at the front without having to constantly hitching them up.
Since the strap will be on display, it’s as much a fashion item as the jeans themselves. Each pair of Schultz strap jeans comes with two straps, which are interchangeable and “upgradable”: the company plans to keep issuing new designs.
For those who opt to reveal their underwear Schultz is also releasing a range with cheeky slogans designed to be seen this way.
JAPAN: Space underwear returns to planet earth without complaint
31 July 2009 | Source: just-style.com
Special underwear tested by Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata in the International Space Station has returned after the one month mission.
The Japanese underwear, called J-Wear, is a new type of anti-bacterial clothing designed for space travel and made by top textile maker Toray.
Each item of underwear was finished with a special nanotech fabric developed by Toray that can repel static, wick away water, kill bacteria, neutralise odours, and “prevent fouling, or permanent odour infusion.”
“I haven’t talked about this underwear to my crew members,” Wakata said in an interview with The Associated Press, drawing a big laugh from his six shuttle colleagues.
“But I wore them for about a month, and my station crew members never complained for about a month, so I think the experiment went fine.”
A power cut which brought part of a Lincolnshire village to a standstill has been blamed on discarded underwear.
More than a dozen houses and a set of traffic lights in Leadenham were affected on Wednesday, with police being called to direct traffic.
Engineers traced the fault and found a thong had short circuited a power line.
It is believed the clothing was carried by a helium balloon from a nearby party. It became lodged in the wires and caused a fault when soaked by rain.
Polo party
Andrew Barrow, from Central Networks, said: “Flying objects do occasionally cause us problems but in this case it was more risque than risky.
“What we think happened in this case was the offending article was on the line for some time but it was the heavy rain yesterday - wet things conduct electricity - which led to the short circuit.”
He added: “The main thing to say here is that if people do see something on the lines, don’t try and get them down yourselves, that is when it becomes dangerous.”
The finger of suspicion has been pointed at the local polo club’s annual ball.
Emma Rose, from Leadenham Polo Club, said: “It may never be proven exactly where this came from but it could have been our party.
“We think it may have been a joke, with someone taking the item from an overnight bag and setting it on its way.”
Barack Obama’s jeans VS Gordon Brown’s chinos - which is the winner?
Obama socks it to us in blue jeans, but Brown fails to work the classic chino look.
There seems to be a pattern developing in the Obama marriage. Michelle has been widely lauded once again — this time for her new haircut. Meanwhile, her husband, the 44th President of the United States, was pilloried across the Internet for what has been dubbed his “Mom jeans”.Obama was throwing the first pitch at a baseball game in St Louis, and wore a pair of faded and baggy Levi’s blue jeans. Asked to defend his jeans recently, Obama said, “I’m a little frumpy. I hate to shop; those jeans are comfortable. For those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I’m sorry. I’m not the guy.”
Thank the Lord for that. I think Obama’s blue jeans are great. In suits, he looks so svelte and boyish it’s easy to forget he’s approaching his fifties. If he once had slender hips, he’s inevitably got sturdier. He can’t wear skinny jeans. He is wise to avoid anything overtly fashionable. The Levi’s that he wears are perfectly boring — and that is a great compliment.
Obama is actually at the vanguard of a blue jean revolution which is about to hit menswear. Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, wore jeans like an old man wanting to get back into a suit; Obama wears jeans because that’s just what he does. There are men in their thirties and forties, like Obama, who have matured with the denim revolution of the 1990s. Back then, the addiction was for expensive Japanese denim and jeans that were dry-clean only from brands like Evisu and APC. Since the millenium, labels such as Diesel have been purposefully dirtying their denim and introducing new cuts, from wide to ultra-skinny. In the process, jeans have become an obsession.
Just because these men are ageing doesn’t mean they have to give up their jeans habit. But what they have to do is adapt their jeans as their bodies go through the inevitable slackenings. Treatments and washes should be avoided, with more focus on the subtleties of cut and the flattering inkiness of the blue dye. Fortysomethings in jeans will no longer look like they’re trying to be young.
If middle-aged men in jeans turn your stomach, you’d better get used to it. Blue jeans on older men are here to stay.
Denim diktats
Perennially thin men, like Kate Moss’s boyfriend Jamie Hince, are the only ones that can get away with skinny jeans. ( But don’t forget about the tingle factor - Read about skinny jeans and what can happen if you wear them all the time.)
Men with a defined body but more bulk, like Daniel Craig, should wear straight-leg jeans —close-fitting but not too tight. (Such as the brilliant Schultz jeans Blouberg narrow cut jeans in dark denim - which fit superbly.)
Baggier jeans with a low waist work for younger men like David Beckham, who want a casual look that shows off their body. Crossroads jeans and Cobra jeans fit this bill brilliantly and are a superb fit.
For men like David Cameron, who want to hide their body, a roomy cut is best with high waist. - sorry David !!!!!
Barack Obama’s denim misstep is nothing compared to the position Gordon Brown finds himself in. A man who makes no claim to style whatsoever, Brown seems uncomfortable even with the sort of clothes that should be his salvation. And so comes the depressing annual holiday press call, where he fails miserably to appear relaxed with the aid of a pair of chinos.
To give the Prime Minister his due, this year’s stiff outfit isn’t as bad as last summer’s, where he made the mistake of wearing a navy chino and a beige jacket. That combination, in particular the dark chinos, made him look like he wished he was still in the office, which is probably close to the truth.
This summer, Gordon Brown seems to have realised that on holiday, he should at least look like he’s off-duty. His pale chinos, white shirt and navy blazer would never be worn stepping out of No 10. But the way he wore his chinos yesterday betrays another message. They are high-waisted, and the dark belt that holds them in place destroys any sense of relaxation and lightness. He has still not let go. It is no accident that he was photographed not relaxing on a beach, but making a visit to an ecology centre in his constituency. For him, this holiday is still work.
The uncomfortableness of Mr Brown’s chinos is thrown into even starker relief when compared to the current crop of fashionable chinos being worn by men across the land. These chinos are seen as a viable denim alternative — a trend begun by the understated style of Swedish label Acne and the mass-utilitarianism of Japanese brand Uniqlo. These brands cut their chino as if they were a jean, and often without a pleat, giving the once-fusty cloth a 21st-century appeal. The cotton cloth of the chino still has its rugged, practical appeal, managing to appear respectable while also being hard-wearing. But the new cuts, now found all over the high street, make the chino a viable modern option once more.
These new chinos are in the wardrobes of men who know how to enjoy themselves, and look good while doing so. Which only serves to widen the gulf between Gordon Brown and the electorate, with whom he is so desperate to connect. It’s a tough call, trying to be both Prime Minister and man of the people. But it’s a call that Gordon Brown has tried to answer, and which he once again fails.
