Ristefsky Macheda Dare Retro Brief – a Men’s Underwear Review

December 28, 2010 |

Reviewed by Shayne

Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing the Ristefsky Macheda (RM) Dare Brief. I was just as pleased to try the RM Dare Retro Brief which is available in some great colour combinations such as Charcoal/Red, Charcoal/Blue, Charcoal/Yellow and Charcoal/Sky. I think the red and yellow variations look the best, however, it is up to personal choice. Either way I am sure you will find a pair that matches your personality. RM have added the European sophistication, the laidback lifestyle of Australia and great combination of retro inspired colours in a pair of briefs that look ultra cute.

These briefs are a must for anyone that is after comfortable everyday underwear with that little extra splash of colour (red, yellow or blue) but still want a basic black/grey brief. I actually prefer this style to the Dare brief for that more subtle look.

Style: The RM Dare Retro brief is nothing new on the market, however; somehow I am intrigued by this brand and love their combination of colours. The colours are subtle yet sexy. The briefs are a mid-rise cut with a fuller cut especially in the hip and rear. These are great briefs to add something different into your underwear draw whilst still remaining modern. It features a 1 ¾ inch waistband with the embroidered logo of “Ristefsky Macheda” in black cotton on a white elastic background with a black horizontal line to frame the top of the waistband. RM have added red trims around the pouch and legs to accentuate your manhood and to tidy up the overall look of these sexy vintage washed deep charcoal briefs. Like the Dare Brief, these briefs have a Y-front opening to make using them easier. However, these openings are definitely not designed for the more endowed men out there.

Fit: I found these briefs extremely comfortable to wear all day; there were no signs of riding up or the need to adjust myself throughout the day. There was ample room in the pouch to accommodate my goods whilst still giving enough support. The rear of the garment provided enough coverage, however, it did not give any outstanding features of making your ass look any more impressive. The addition of the Y-front complements the retro look even further but in a more sexier way than years gone by. Overall this is a well-fitting everyday brief that you would be proud to add to your collection.

Fabric and Quality: The Dare Retro brief is a well constructed garment made out of Cotton (95%) and Elastane (5%) which is a perfect blend for everyday wear. The brief will not do anything extraordinary to make your body look more toned or accentuate your assets, however, these briefs are definitely worth considering. They have ensured that they have used quality materials and spent considerable amount of time in construction. I found it very difficult to find faults in this garment with some slight imperfections on the inside of the garment common to mass manufactured underwear. However there were no faults with important aspects such as stitching.

The Dare Retro Brief is a great spin on a classic pair of briefs that will be a cherished addition to your collection. Ristefsky Macheda can be purchased through www.ristefskymacheda.com for a reasonably priced $24.95. They come in the classic retro colours of Blue, Yellow, Sky and Red trims on a charcoal base. Buy one of each colour and relieve those great retro colours of years gone by.

**SALE: Freshpair has these on sale this week for only $19.50!**

Overall Rating ★★★★★
Fit ★★★★★ Wears well, quite comfortable to wear all day
Style ★★★★★ A great retro spin whilst remaining modern
Fabric ★★★★★ Hardy well selected material
Quality ★★★★★ Expert machining and finish
Size I Wore: S (I’m a 30″ waist)

Ristefsky Macheda Dare Brief: Red – a Men’s Underwear Review

Ristefsky Macheda (RM) launched themselves into the fashion arena in 2005 to create a cult following. If you haven’t heard of this brand yet, definitely try these subtle yet somehow sexy briefs. RM combines the sophistication of Europe with the laid-back lifestyle of Australia to create briefs that are definitely worth it.

I was a little skeptical when reviewing these briefs, however, once putting these briefs on to give them a go I can definitely say that these are super comfortable that I could wear all day at work or a night out at the pub for a big drinking session.

Style: The RM Dare brief is nothing new on the market, however; somehow I am intrigued by this brand and love their combination of colours. The colours are subtle yet sexy. The briefs are a mid-rise cut with a fuller cut especially in the hip and rear. The fullness to this cut ensures total comfort, which can be worn everyday. However if I was after a night of fun in the bedroom, these briefs will not raise any eyebrows in future suitors or make your current partner swoon after you. It features a 1 ¾ inch waistband with the embroidered logo of “Ristefsky Macheda” in black cotton on a white elastic background with a black horizontal to frame the top of the waistband. One sexy aspect of the brief is the inclusion of the Y-front opening, which is definitely no longer unsexy. There is one downfall that using this Y-front does become quite difficult if you very well endowed. They really needed to make the opening a little larger or easier to use.
RM have added white trims around the pouch and legs to accentuate your manhood and to tidy up the overall look of the briefs.

Fit: I found these briefs extremely comfortable to wear all day; there were no signs of riding up or the need to adjust myself throughout the day. I tended to not use the Y-front opening it was too difficult to master (especially when out in public) for someone that is well endowed. There was ample room in the pouch to accommodate my goods whilst still giving enough support. The rear of the garment provided enough coverage, however, it did not give any outstanding features of making your ass look any more impressive. Overall this is a well-fitting everyday brief that you would be proud to add to your collection.

Fabric and Quality: The Dare brief is a well constructed garment made out of Cotton (95%) and Elastane (5%) which is a perfect blend for everyday wear.

The Dare Brief is a classic pair of briefs that will be a cherished addition to the other non-traditional underwear on the market. Ristefsky Macheda can be purchased through http://www.ristefskymacheda.com for a reasonably priced $22.95. They come in the classic colours of Black, Yellow, Blue and Red. Buy one of each colour and add a splash of colour and style to your wardrobe.

Overall Rating [rating=4]
Fit [rating=4] Fits very well. The Y-front is a little awkward to use, easier to not use it.
Style [rating=4] Classic pair of briefs that are very stylish
Fabric [rating=5] Very comfortable for everyday wear
Quality [rating=5] Expert machining and finish

Size I Wore: S (I’m a 30″ waist)

These briefs are a definite must for those guys out there who want comfort and style but don’t want the brief to hang over your low rise jeans and shorts. Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing a couple of Ristefsky Macheda (RM) Briefs. I was even more excited to try the RM Striped Low Rise Brief, which is available in some great colour combinations. The retro inspired horizontal stripes make these briefs look even more cuter than their Retro or Dare range.
These briefs are your classic style with no Y-front or coloured trims for guys that are into basic briefs with no bells or whistles. A great addition to any mans wardrobe.

Style: The RM Striped Low Rise Brief is just as underwear was intended to be – basic but a combination of style and modernism. They are definitely low cut, just leaving enough to the imagination. They provide coverage whilst giving enough of a hint of the treasure trail to the pleasure that lie hidden beneath. Most low rise briefs do not give enough coverage in the rear and pouch. This definitely is not the case with these briefs. The designers have spent time in delivering a briefs that the average guy will love. These are great briefs to add something different into your underwear draw whilst still remaining modern.

It features a 1 ¾ inch waistband with the embroidered logo of “Ristefsky Macheda” in white cotton on a bright sky blue elastic background with a white horizontal line to frame the top of the waistband. RM have used blue cotton to tidy up the overall look of these retro inspired heathered horizontal stripes. It is great to have a basic brief on the market whilst still remaining sexy.

Fit: I found these briefs extremely comfortable to wear all day; there were no signs of riding up or the need to adjust myself throughout the day. There was ample room in the pouch to accommodate my goods whilst still giving enough support. The rear of the garment provided enough coverage, whilst giving the low cut look that looks sexy on any guy. Overall this is a well-fitting everyday brief that you would be proud to add to your collection.

Fabric and Quality: The Striped Low Rise brief is a well constructed garment made out of Cotton (95%) and Elastane (5%) which is a perfect blend for everyday wear. The brief will not do anything extraordinary to make your body look more toned or accentuate your assets, however, it does give the viewer a sneak preview of the treasure that lies beneath this well designed package. They have ensured that they have used quality materials and spent considerable amount of time in construction. I found it very difficult to find faults in this garment with some slight imperfections on the inside of the garment common to mass manufactured underwear. They added overlocking in the crotch and pouch to add strength to the garment and there were little faults with the remainder of the stitching.

The Striped Low Rise Brief is your average brief with the added retro feel. One bonus is the low rise design which definitely adds to its appeal.

Ristefsky Macheda can be purchased through http://www.ristefskymacheda.com for a reasonably priced $27.95. They come in different striped colours such as red/grey, black/white and navy/grey.

I totally love the red and grey ones. Regardless of what colour combination you choose, they will look great under low cut clothing and you will look even sexier for your partner as you undress.

Overall Rating ★★★★★
Fit ★★★★★ Well fitting, leaving something for your partner to admire
Style ★★★★★ Low rise brief that exposes just enough of your treasure trail. Nice bright waistband to make you stand out.
Fabric ★★★★★ Lightweight briefs with well selected materials
Quality ★★★★★ Expert machining and finish
Size I Wore: S (I’m a 30″ waist)
