“Love ‘em!” That’s the first thing I said when I ripped open the courier package to find BARUP, the latest collection of men’s underwear for Fall 2012.

Available in trunk and brief styles, the four differernt colour combinations are striking. The boldest, and my personal favourite combination is the bright red and electric blue. They’ll leave you feeling wild and sexy!

The 1.5” waistband has a brand new design. The designers have used classic stars and the kangaroo to play up their Australian designed and manufactured symbolism. The aussieBum logo appears front-and-centre in vivid blue against the red and white band.

BARUP is made from 89% Pima cotton and 11% elastane. Although they are extremely well made with quality materials and workmanship, for longest life, wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and hang dry.

Overall, they are extrmely comfortable and can be worn for a full day or for a night out with the boys. As with most of the aussieBum cuts, the trunk is the most comfortable fitting; I find the briefs feel awkward after a few hours.
