LOOK DASHING IN YOUR SKIVVIES AND SCARF BY ERGOWEAR

I’m not usually attracted to men’s underwear sales so much as I’m attracted to a brand of underwear and when I see it’s on sale, well then there’s a natural fit. I went over to the Dead Good Undies (D.G.U.) site and saw that they’ve got a bunch of brands on sale. Here’s a quick rundown.

You can get 20% off Sloggi Basic twinpacks. That means solid white, black, grey or blue Sloggi tanga, maxi, short, mini and midi briefs. Each style has a thin, defining elastic waistband, a solid double-layered pouch, and sheer-looking sides.  (Not all styles are available in all colors.) Other select Sloggi boxers and briefs are up to 50% off!

Ergowear, which is known for presenting your package in an obvious manner (I mean, you can hang a towel on your protrusion when you wear this brand), comes with a special offer. Until Christmas (or until stocks run dry), when you buy any Ergowear underwear or swimwear, you get a free limited edition Ergowear polar scarf. D.G.U. is carrying quite a few new items by Ergowear, including a camouflage look.  

Finally, if you’re looking to go retro, then take a look at D.G.U.’s prices on the Jockey Retro line. Tops and bottoms are both on sale. There’s a rich range of colors, including azure turquoise, fuchsia, mandarin, navy, pistachio and powder pink. Each item is 100% cotton. You can buy the Jockey Retro Athletic Shirt, Jockey Retro Y-front Short Trunk and Jockey Retro Y-front Sports Brief. Savings on Retro undies is 25%.

D.G.U., which is based in England, has a long list of designer brands and a healthy offering from each company.  There are around 25 different labels on hand, including MANstore, Ginch Gonch, Gregg Homme and Andrew Christian. Take a swing over to D.G.U., there are some fine deals on clearance items and many more brands on sale than those described above. Some are going at 70% off!

Okay, the headline may be a lame reference to the George and Ira Gershwin song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” from the 1937 movie Shall We Dance with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers where they sing “You like /təˈmeɪtoʊz/ and I like /təˈmɑːtoʊz/," but the question is real. Do you like the men’s underwear look from designer Timoteo Ocampo?

Timoteo, whose company is based in La-la-land, is a men’s fashion designer whose creations include jeans, tops, swimwear, underwear and accessories. He started by designing women’s wear and eventually created his own line of men’s wear. He’s so into his English bulldog, Jackie, that he’s created designs inspired by his dog, including a line of Jackie Bulldog Tees and accessories. His swimwear is partly influenced by Timoteo’s love of surfing and beach volleyball.

Timoteo has created two types of men’s underwear: the Classic and Quake looks. One thing can be said about Timoteo’s underwear collections is that both are revealing in the manner in which they are cut low, hug the hip and highlight the package with a form-fit. Let’s take a look at the Classic line.

His Classic Underwear line offers low briefs and boxer briefs. The low briefs come in solid colors of white, red, orange, yellow, black and white/grey. Each has a wide waistband with the Timoteo logo across the front and back. They are available in small, medium, large and extra large. The low brief is made from spandex (96%) and cotton (4%), providing a fine fit that highlights the male form.

The boxer brief still has the low rise, hip hugging fit that the brief offers. It gives much more coverage along the hips, legs and butt. It’s definitely defining, presenting your package in a clear and present manner. The boxer brief lists for $29, while the low-rise brief is $19.

The Classic line is unencumbered, sleek, simple, smooth and masculine. There’s a manly elegance to it and yet it’s streamlined nature enhances a guy’s rugged look (if he already looks rugged).

In a few days, I’ll be taking a look at more of Timoteo’s revealing designs. If you’re a hunk, they’ll make you look hunk-a-licious. I like “Timoteo,” do you like “Timoteo?”
