The VFLY Modal Brief Is Here
Chris and Tilghman open the episode with a quick temperature check on colors — turns out they're both in the muted camp most of the year, with Tilghman pulling out a red low-rise bikini brief for Valentine's Day and putting it right back. That tracks.
But the real news is the VFLY Modal brief, which launched last week and is already drawing attention from guys who've been asking for it. The brief style has always had its fans, but adding a V-fly to the mix solves a specific and very real problem: the belt buckle situation.
Tilghman explains it better than most: "I don't want to be finagling with ourselves to get our pants down." Whether it's a suit-and-tie day at the office or just a setting where dropping your pants to the floor isn't the move, the fly makes the whole thing easier. You know the drill. The fly is there if you need it — and Tilghman has some thoughts on using it the right way.
Beyond the fly, this brief has a fabric-covered waistband (no logo slapped on the elastic), and Tilghman noticed something else: more coverage in the back than a standard non-fly brief. That extra fabric matters more than it sounds. When you sit down, it wraps around properly. When you stand back up, there's no pick, no shimmy, no production. It just works.
The Hidden Benefit Nobody's Talking About
Chris adds a detail about the VFLY design that doesn't get enough attention: pouch length.
The V-fly configuration creates more vertical space in the pouch, which is a different dimension than volume. So if you've been rocking a D pouch and you love the room but feel like things are too shallow — this is the fix. RMAC has been quietly putting guys onto the VFLY styles for exactly this reason, and the feedback has been enthusiastic.
Tilghman adds one more practical note: if you're seeing skin exposure at the fly opening, that's your signal that you might need to go up a pouch size. The overlap is designed to cover everything up fully — so if it's not, your fit isn't quite right yet.
New Arrivals: What's In Stock and What's Almost Gone
Chris walks through the new arrivals collection in the episode, and a few things stand out.
The VFLY Modal briefs are there. The new thong colorways are there. And there are some limited releases that, depending on when you're reading this, may already be down to just a handful of sizes — B's, C's, smalls, and mediums were almost tapped out at time of recording. If you've been eyeing something in that collection, now is the time.
For the guys who don't want anything that glows in the dark: the brushed nylon black thongs are in there too. Low key, sleek, no flash required. Chris is a personal fan and makes no apologies about it.
This Week's Drop: Cyan, Gray & Black Modal Thongs
The launch of the week is the cyan, gray, and black colorway in the Modal thong — and Tilghman has a sentimental connection to this one. His very first pair of RMAC underwear was a non-fly boxer brief in cyan-gray-black. Wearing this colorway again hits differently.
For anyone keeping track, RMAC now has four colorways in the Modal thong, with more on the way. The pace of new drops has been about once a week for the past month, and the team is doing a lot of the logistics work themselves — Tilghman was personally packing 200 Modal thong orders solo one morning while Jared and his family were on Christmas vacation.
That's commitment.
On Thongs: A Word from Two Non-Thong Guys
It's worth pausing on something Chris and Tilghman both say about the thong, because neither of them came into this as thong enthusiasts.
Chris's case for it is simple: the back strap is thin enough that you forget it's there, you're completely separated from your thighs, and the airflow when you pair it with breathable shorts is something else entirely. His recommendation — pair it with a set of silky running shorts with the liner cut out, especially in the summer heat — is specific enough that it's clearly coming from experience.
Tilghman's alternative for guys who aren't ready for the strap: the strapless jock. Same breathability benefit, no string between the cheeks. Both options beat the standard and both are in the lineup.
The short version: "It's like going commando with support." That's Tilghman. And Chris, who came in as a skeptic, doesn't disagree.
Mystery Monday Bundles
If you're not on the RMAC email or SMS list, this is your reminder that it's worth signing up — not just for the usual new launch notifications, but specifically for Mystery Monday.
Once a month, on the first Monday, RMAC drops a bundle for $39.99. The contents vary, but the goal is as much variety as possible: something like a three-pack of boxer briefs, two sets of leggings, and a three-pack of strapless jocks all in one order. Different fabrics, different styles, good value.
The catch: it's not up for long. The last one ran for maybe 16 hours. If you're not on the list, you probably won't even know it happened.
Chris also makes a point about what to do if you get a Mystery bundle and something in it isn't your thing: give it away. If you know a guy who's still suffering through no-space bikini briefs from the big box store, hand him a pair. It might change his life. Or at minimum, his Tuesday.
Tilghman's take: buy the brightest color in the bundle and bring it to your office white elephant. Find the most stoic guy in the room. Watch what happens.
Keep the Conversation Going
Chris and Tilghman plan to do these product-focused episodes about once a month — enough to keep you up to date without turning the whole podcast into a catalog. They read the comments and the questions, so if you've got something you want them to address, drop it in.
And if you want to make sure you're catching new launches before they sell out: get on the list.
