turnipHed Reviews Jameswinston Co. S-Brief
A couple weeks ago a nice package wrapped in brown paper arrived at my door and when I opened it up I found a sexy pair of the Jameswinston Co. S-Briefs, in Tzar colour, in there. I immediately had to take them out of the packaging and give them a good look-see.
It did not take long for me to jump my butt into them; however, I first gave them a good look over because the first thing that caught my eye was the intensive stitching. Not only was the contrast eye-appealing but it was clear that great attention was paid to the construction of these briefs.
At first feel it was very clear that this 92% Ribbed Cotton and 8% Elastane blend was super light weight but strong. I could also see that the ProFIL pouch was designed to support and highlight.
What is ProFIL Panel PLUS?
New ‘2 way wear’ ProFIL Panel PLUS TM (pron. Profile) is our next generation of front panels designed for asset enhancement.This time the double-layered front panel is cut to allow not one, but two ways in which you can wear your garment. i.e.
1) Pull pant on as normal and you’ll notice our ‘better than normal ’ enhancement qualities or
2) Place your (insert pet name) directly in front to find yourself held in our ‘MAX Out’ TM position.
No straps, no cups. Just ‘super’ natural asset projection - to suit your mood!
As mentioned on the site, this brief does offer you excellent moisture absorption and I did put them to the test by wearing them and sweating as much as I could.
Yup, they did the job and with the Elastane the S-Brief did not warp out of shape. I got the same support at the end of the day as I did when I put them on in the morning.
Now while the size I got, Large (34-36), is what I would choose from a menu based on the fact that I wear a 34-36 jean, after wearing these, while still a great pair that will always be close to the top of my undie pile to wear, I would like to try the Medium (31-33).
The reason I want to try the mediums out is to see if they would offer me a snugger fit should I need a bit of extra support for working out, jogging and stuff like that.
'S' and Petit-brief :- These ranges are cut 'true to size' and designed to fit 'comfortably' at your waist size (see [size] guide). Please select the size DOWN in both fabrics should you prefer a 'very close' fit.
What I noticed when wearing these was that I did not notice the undies at all and at the same time I was not flopping around. I was held in place without any pressure at all anywhere.
These briefs are also a very low rise cut, so if you do like to hide your undies when you lift your arms and your shirt rises or when you bend over, then these are a good option.
If you prefer to show off some undie waistband, these might not be the ones for you unless you like to wear your pants really low.
The Jameswinston Co. S-Briefs comes in 5 different colours, all of which are really appealing and sexy, Caspian, Darkwood, Moor, Tusk Ivory and Tzar.
The S-Brief is priced at £13.50, which could be a little bit on the pricey side for some; however, do take this into consideration, these briefs with the moisture absorption I talked about above I think would make these undies a great versatile brief for the office and then the gym.
MY RATING:
Overall, I give the Jameswinston Co. S-Briefs a strong 9.5 out of 10 based on the following criteria. The only reason the Fit scored an 8 is because as I mentioned above I want to see how the smaller size fits and then compare.
FIT -- 8 (out of 10)
STYLE -- 10 (out of 10)
QUALITY -- 10 (out of 10)
VALUE -- 10 (out of 10)





























turnipHed how dare you give us a low score because you hadn't tried a medium :) :) Seriously, thanks for the evaluation. With the S-brief we wanted a 'true to size' barely there fit. It's actually impossible to keep everyone happy due to varying fit preferences.
That said, we try to describe our fits on each pant as accurately as possible as you indicated in your review. If you like a 'close' fit (not tight!) naturally then buy the size down. I guarantee you'll all be very happy!

I've been wanting to try James Winston for a while. I love how simple and elegant they look. It has a less overtly sexual look than some of the more loud brands but isn't plain like what I'd buy at Target.
Are there any US distributors for this brand?
I'd kind of like to buy in person to see how the different pouches work.

Hi Marcus,
We've had a lot of interest from US web retailers but few are prepared to support our make price (which means they pay more than normal for our product) Of course we could always make our underwear in far cheaper cloth but it's something we won't be compromising on. You also cannot have the effect of ProFIL Panel PLUS in ceap cloth or 100% cotton. Feel free to check out the size guide on our site - it's very accurate. In the meantime look out for some useful things to happen in the US media which will break open a lot of currently closed doors!
Kindest
Brian
