Men in Briefs

'Change starts with your underwear.'

Nick Jonas

Alan Ritchson 

Alan Ritchson has sold a lot of men's underwear over the years.  I'm not sure the shot above is an official Calvin Klein ad, but it's the underwear shot that began my lust affair with the actor.

Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes is probably one of the most famous pop-stars to strip down to his undies for Calvin Klein.  His images certainly don't have the sizzle as many of his predecessors, but Mendes sold them with his own unique appeal.

Mehcad Brooks

Anthony Ramos

Trevante Rhodes

Mark Wahlberg

Mr. Wahlberg was still known as Marky Mark when he posed for Calvin Klein in the early 90's.  Regardless of what you think of him now, these ads, and Marky's images made a big impression at the time.

Travis Fimmel

Travis Fimmel and his underwear ads were some of my favorite motivators when I was younger and needed a little visual motivator. 

Tom Hintnaus

Model Tom Hintnaus' Calvin Klein ads, shot be Bruce Weber came about a decade before Marky Mark in the early 80's.  See my previous piece on Tom on FH HERE:

Jordan Torres

Model Jordan Torres certainly knows how to wrap his package (barely) in a pair of Calvin Klein briefs.

C-In2

I love many of the ads from the C-In2 brand.  Most of them were placed in adult and gay magazines but a few made it into mainstream magazines and papers.

Jockey

I loved these 90's Jockey ads and found them incredibly hot.  They passed in major magazines because they featured models posing as doctors and firemen making them seem deceptively tame.
