About the Designers 
Rated M by Mario Lopez 
We're not heroes or visionaries. We're not here to change the world. We just want to make the best underwear and t-shirts ever seen in the history of mankind. Manful, masterful, magical and much more. RATED M, for manful men and their very special guests.

Mundo Unico 
Mundo Unico is a top leading brand in men's underwear and has a varied selection of boxer briefs ranging from fun and exciting prints to elegant and subtle designs with exceptional fabrics and construction. The materials and fabrics along with the brand's designs are as diverse as the underwear, including t-thong, Caribbean bikini, brief, urban boxer, short boxer, mid boxer, long boxer and others. All Mundo Unico underwear allow for free and easy movement during any type of activity: sports, leisure, work, casual, travel and business. All Mundo Unico products are dyed and hand-stitched in Medellin Colombia, using only the finest fabrics and supplies as well as the latest technology.

Frank Dandy 
The year was 2003 and there was no alternative to men´s single colored underwear on the market. Frank Dandy was founded to be that alternative and challenge the traditional view on men´s underwear. By creating underwear that was nowhere to be found on the market, Frank Dandy started a trend with patterned designs. Frank Dandy has been acknowledged as one of the most exciting new underwear brands by The New York Times and has won awards for its unexpected and innovative campaigns.

Doreanse 
Doreanse is the newest line of underwear introduced to North America directly from Turkey. The brand launched directly from Istanbul has been popular and has been growing quickly in Europe and Australia since 1999. The selection consists of basic, casual, sexy and sporty designs, all at affordable prices. Doreanse is about premium look and comfort at affordable prices. The styles run the gamut of basic to fun/sexy for men of all ages, sizes and shapes. The brand has had little to no availability in the USA and Canada up until now and has quickly received rave reviews from customers and critics alike.
