Undie Update: 2(x)ist
In our continuing efforts to bring you more information to your fingertips in one space, we wanted to bring your attention to the latest news happening over with our friends at Universal Gear.
We invite you to read this following article about, Undie Update: 2(x)ist.
What's new in the world of underwear? Mantie Guru, 2(x)ist, has been cooking up a storm in the design room and has come out with some pretty hot new designs.
Buckle up boys and let's take a look and the NEW TWO!
2 Cool 4 School
The new Campus line draws inspiration from the prep school, rugby, cricket and soccer lifestyles. And while these new undies may get you sent to the Headmaster, they certainly get an A+ in my book.
Crafted with a blend of cotton, micro-modal, and spandex, they have a soft feel that is both luxurious and sporty. Give into this new preppy look.
Heavy Metal
Fresh for fall 09, the Metal line introduces a sleek new evolution in fashionable underwear.
Metal sports a split-level engineered elastic band with the 2(x)ist logo in metallic accents.
The fabric is form fitting, supportive and has an superbly rich feel. The Metal line is essentially modern, sleek, and above all else, SEXY. Try this new line and make a few sparks.
Optical Illusions
Launched earlier this year, the 2(x)ist Optic line is a favorite amongst Universal Gear customers, and I am happy to announce that two NEW colors are now available in store!
2(x)ist offers these collection in their signature silhouettes, such as the popular no show brief (perfect for low-rise jeans), classic trunk, crew neck tee and tank.
Let these new collections add a little change to your everyday life. Whether you're a boxers or briefs guy, Universal Gear has you covered!
Until next time, love, peace and all things fashion.

Who is Universal Gear?
Universal Gear started as a small boutique in DC's Dupont Circle neighborhood and had a simple goal-to provide a fun and lively atmosphere staffed with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable salespeople who made customers feel comfortable and appreciated and to fill the store with a selection of great merchandise that represents “the best of†fashion from different designers.Â
Since its opening, Universal Gear DC has grown to more than 3,500 square feet of space on two levels. In 1998, David and Keith opened Universal Gear Chicago in the Lakeview East section of town, with 3,900 square feet of retail space.
A year later, as the company grew, they brought on Ricardo Zapata (then an MBA summer intern) to research the eCommerce potential for the company. That research led to the launch of universalgear.com in the winter of 1999.
The online store gives customers all over the world access to some of the great brands we carry (we now have regular customers in Japan, Brazil and the UK among other countries).
