Cocksox—sexy, fun, enhancing underwear

Cocksox’s claim to fame is that it can provide an enhanced, natural profile without rings, slings, straps, supports, padding, or any other of the enhancing technologies that other brands have dreamed up. The cotton fabric is a bit thicker than what you’d normally find in underwear, and it has Lycra mixed in to ensure a snug fit.

We’re launching the brand at our store with 5 styles in stock. From jock straps to thongs to briefs, you’re sure to find a package-enhancing Cocksox item that’s right for you.

Toddland—for those with a sense of humor

Toddland Shalom Boxer Brief

Toddland is a fascinating mix of vintage styling and an offbeat sense of humor. You’re sure to find playful items in this fun brand. What’s not to love about the Toddland “Manstache” Trunk? And I certainly never thought that I’d see “Grey w/ Burger” in the color field of a product sold at Skiviez.

Looking for a quirky holiday gift? Why not give the Toddland Shalom Boxer Brief with its cute depictions of dreidels and menorahs. Or make sure the Nick in your life is dressed for the season in the Toddland Santa Boxer Brief.

Little Pumpkin With Fallen Orange Autumn Leaves, D Sharon Pruitt, CC-BY

There’s no contest: fall is by far my most favorite season of the year. Here in Virginia, the air cools until crisp; the leaves explode into gorgeous oranges, browns, and reds; and we snuggle under cozy blankets during the colder nights. And with the change in season, designers are introducing new colors and styles for fall. Here’s a quick run down of the latest styles and selections to land in our warehouse.

C-IN2 Pop Colors: Muted, tasteful, natural, autumnal

We’ll start with the ever-popular C-IN2 Pop Colors line. We have the first wave of colors in stock today: Dark Spruce, a lovely dark green; Winter Wheat, an earthy tone; and Jester Red, a slow-burning sanguine. This collection also includes a long-sleeved version of the popular henley to keep you warm on the cool nights of the fall.

As always, the products in this line are all made of 100% cotton, giving that comfortable, reassuring, natural feel that you’ve grown up with, and when you combine it with C-IN2′s legendary cut, you’ll find the items in this line to be among the most comfortable underwear that you’ve ever worn.

The colors in this wave are only here for a limited time. We’re not able to accept backorders for these, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t let the season pass you by without a pair of your own!

Calvin Klein cranks it up to 11

Calvin Klein, on the other hand, gives us a different take with the new Calvin Klein Neon Trunk. The colors in these trunks remind me of the old neon signs of a bar that I like to meet friends at on these cool Friday nights.

When I say “neon,” trust me—these trunks are very neon. When we were checking these items into inventory in the warehouse, it seemed as if we didn’t even need to turn the lights on!

These items are mostly nylon with some spandex in them, so they’re very snug and form-fitting with the smooth, sensual feel that synthetic fibers bring. Like the C-IN2 Pop Colors, though, this trunk is only available for the season. Once we ship the last unit out of our warehouse, that’s a wrap. Be sure to grab a pair for yourself today.

Skiviez throws some color in the mix

Skiviez has been at this business for a little over eleven years now, and there was once a time when our in-house brand was known for its dazzling array of inspired color choices. As we worked on expanding the business and making further improvements to our legendary same-day shipping and lauded customer service, this brand fell a little by the wayside.

But not any more—we introduced Skiviez Boast to customer acclaim, and we’ve introduced limited edition, unique colors for the fall season: Spearmint, Bubble Gum, and Wedgewood Blue. You won’t find pairs of underwear quite like these anywhere else; if we put our name on it, you know it has to be good. And since we designed it and we ship it, you can grab a pair at a fantastically affordable price.

We’ll be rolling out additional colors for the spring, so be sure to grab a few of these colors before everyone else gets their hands on them.

That’s not all

Many manufacturers ship fall colors out in “waves,” with the next wave of colors expected to appear in about a month or so. But don’t wait! If you see a color here that spots your fancy, be sure to buy it soon—we’re likely to be running out by the time the next wave arrives.

At Skiviez, we can’t wait to see what else this beautiful season has in store for us. Check back here or on Facebook often for the latest product updates, or subscribe to our new products RSS feed.

After the positive response to last year’s fashion show, we decided to do it again. On Saturday, June 4th we presented the second annual Skiviez Fashion Show, which brought our local fans all the models, underwear, and fun that they could stand!

This year the Barksdale Theater was our destination of choice. With the bigger venue, we had to have a bigger entertainment lineup. (You know the saying. “Go BIG or GO HOME!”). Our Mistress and Master of ceremonies this time were Magnolia Jackson Picket Burnside, Style Weekly‘s Drag Performer of the Year, and the social maven himself Benjamin Barber. We also had local electro-punk band Dead Fame entertain the crowd between acts.

I know you came here to look at the underwear, the models, or both…. So without further delay, let’s get on with the show!

More after the jump….

Of course, the main event was our Skiviez boys modeling our latest assortment of Skiviez brand underwear. This year’s show was directed by Augustin, who was last year’s MC. Instead of a traditional runway presentation, we had the models present “scenes.”  The scenes ranged from swim and sport to fetish and pride. We also included brand-exclusive scenes from Baskit, Skiviez, and Kyle.  We featured over 70+ styles in the show this year. Below is just a small sampling of what we showed.

This week’s video was inspired by a post from the Official 2(x)ist blog 2(x)istence.  Over last weekend they teamed up with ADAM models and did some live window displays at Bloomingdale’s in New York City.  The entire production was fun and made think about escaping to the beach (or my nearest pool).  You don’t see live window displays much anymore and it’s of the reasons New York is one of the coolest cities in the world.

The video after the Jump isn’t from the event, but a promo video for 2(x)ist RESORT collection.  It features one of my favorite models of the moment Andre Ziehle.

Did I say one video?  Well you’re in luck!  It’s a Double Feature! Follow the jump…

Now, for you Double Feature. Below is a quick vid of the boys From ADAM during the Bloomingdale’s SOHO windows event.

Canadian underwear brand Gregg Homme has released one of the hottest marketing campaigns on the web for their Summer 2011 collections.  Their ‘Business Strip’ series features model Therry Pepin enjoying the pleasures of a not so typical business trip.  I rarely ever leave the confines of Skivez HQ, so needless to say I am a tad jealous of his adventures.

When we first met our Gregg Homme guy, he was putting on a very private show via webcam. In this installment, it looks like he called for some ‘room service:. Again, why can’t all business trips be this fun?!? Enjoy!

Remember C-IN2 Bamboo? Of course you do! C-IN2 Bamboo was one of the most popular C-IN2 lines that Skiviez has ever carried. After a few months of delays, we’re proud to finally announce that Skiviez has C-IN2 Bamboo back in stock—it’s just been renamed to C-IN2 Zen.

Same great product with a new name

C-IN2 Zen is the same fabric composition, cut, and style that you may remember from the C-IN2 Bamboo line circa 2009.

Made from a blend of 69% rayon (using materials sourced from bamboo), 29% cotton, and 2% spandex, the fabric used in the C-IN2 Zen line is a perfect blend of silky synthetics and comfortable cotton. When combined with C-IN2′s legendary cuts that follow your body’s contours in all the right ways and in all of the right places, the C-IN2 Zen line is simply unstoppable.

Be sure to check out the C-IN2 Zen Punt. It’s a Brazilian-inspired style that sits right on your hips. It’s a style that sits somewhere between the slider and the army trunk; it has a larger outseam than the slider, but it’s still a bit smaller than that of the army trunk.

And for those who are fans of classic boxer briefs, be sure to check out the C-IN2 Zen Rider, which features ultra long legs that provide stability and comfort for cycling or other athletic activities.

Introducing “curacao,” a beautiful blue

With this shipment of C-IN2 Zen, we’ve got the usual core black and white (“Vanilla Ice”) colors in stock, but C-IN2 has also introduced a hot new color for Spring/Summer 2011: curacao. Like the traditionally blue liqueur or the waters surrounding the island of the same name in the Caribbean, the C-IN2 Zen line in curacao is a dreamy bright blue that’s sure to get the attention of anyone who can see you.

Buy your C-IN2 Zen today!

C-IN2 Zen (formerly C-IN2 Bamboo) has a tendency to sell out very quickly. Be sure to grab your pair before it’s too late.
