Exciting news - the new range of Mens Calvin Klein Metallic Chrome Underwear has arrived at Urban Alpha!
Named after its stand-out waistband, this style of men’s underwear is every inch a modern twist on a classic style, and in our humble opinion should not be vacant from your underwear drawer. They are available in Boxer Trunks, Low-Rise Boxer Trunks and Briefs, so whatever your preference – we have got you covered!
Why not leave a comment and let us know what you think?

We are pleased to announce that Urban Alpha now stocks Mens Puma Underwear! Puma have successfully mixed the worlds of sport and lifestyle to create a range of styles that will add a bit more variety to your underwear drawer!
2012 marks the beginning of Puma Underwear’s ‘Wash When Dirty’ campaign, which aims to put a positive spin on even the most mundane activities by making dirty laundry more exciting. In a nod to their Puma Social range, and in their own words, “Puma Underwear will not hold you back: it’s of the highest quality with a great upbeat design for a price that will delight even your bank manager!” We think that sums it up pretty well.
We currently have Boxer Trunks and Briefs available in twin packs, and over the coming months we will be adding many more styles to our range. Don’t forget to scan the QR codes found on the labels!
Why not leave a comment and let us know what you think? Or you could even tell us your thoughts over on Facebook or Twitter!

Our Andrew Christian Men’s Underwear Sale is still going! One of the hottest men’s clothing brands to emerge from the USA over recent years; Andrew Christian is designed for comfort, support and style! To view the items in our sale, click here.
We won’t be getting any more of these styles in, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

To celebrate our new arrival to Twitter, we are giving away 3 pairs of Calvin Klein Men’s Underwear! The winners can choose any style and colour combination from the Calvin Klein CK One range, some of which are in the image below:
All you have to do to win is visit our twitter page, follow @urbanalpha and retweet one of our messages promoting the competition.
We will announce the winners at 3pm on Tuesday 17th January, which will signal the end of the competition. Winners will be contacted via direct message on Twitter, with the email address to send your style, colour and size combination as well as your postal address.
We (Urban Alpha) will be selecting the 3 winners at random, and our decision is final. If we are unable to make contact with the winner after 48 hours, we will offer the prize to another entrant. Please do not create multiple accounts, or repeatedly ‘spam’ the promotional message. As much as we would love the publicity, it’s against Twitters Terms of Use and will result in ineligibility for the competition.
And it’s that simple! If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning more free stuff (and who wouldn’t?) then why not sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook!
Good luck everyone!
Thanks,
The Urban Alpha Team

Since officially launching on the 1st November (not counting the problems we had going live on October 31st), we have gone from strength to strength – exceeding our targets and our expectations for our first few months of trading.
Due to this good fortune, we are ramping up our plans for Urban Alpha. Starting in January, you will start to see items appearing on the site other than Men’s Underwear. This has always been the plan, however thanks to how great all of our customers have been we have been able to jump ahead in our plans to bring you the best Men’s Clothing out there! What this means is a lot more variety on the site and much more frequent product additions – starting with a lot more Jack & Jones gear.
We’re keeping the rest under wraps at this stage, but if you visit our Facebook page it probably won’t be too difficult to figure out what we’ve got lined up for the next few months.
2012 is set to be a great year for us here at Urban Alpha, and it’s all thanks to you!
Best,
Andrew

Here at Urban Alpha, we know that Christmas shopping can be a bit stressful when trying to work out the best gifts for every family member, friend, work colleague, and relative on your shopping list. To help you out, we’ve come up with 5 reasons why men’s underwear might be the solution to your gift giving dilemma:
1) It’s easy to choose
Figuring out what style and brand men like couldn’t be simpler. Men are creatures of habit, so simply take a look in their underwear drawer (or note down what they have on if they are fond of wearing trousers which don’t fit properly) and get more of the same.
2) It’s not too expensive
If you’re in the market for something to include in a stocking, there are some great styles of men’s underwear available from just £10. Looking for something a little fancier? Don’t worry; we have you covered there too.
3) It’s practical
Men always need new underwear – it’s a fact. No need to wander around a department store looking at remote controlled bottle openers and magnetic cufflinks, simply grab a few pairs of men’s underwear and treat yourself to an afternoon off.
4) You’ll be doing them a favour
If you take a look in any mans underwear drawer, you will find at least one pair with holes, rips, faded logos or worst of all – stains. Helping someone replenish their underwear stock will save them having to do it themselves, a great Christmas gift in its own right!
5) It’s Traditional!
Much like the giving of socks, horrendous knitted jumpers and the inevitable deodorant / body wash / flannel combination, giving men’s underwear as a gift at Christmas is as traditional as eating turkey and arguing over who got the best prize from the Christmas cracker. You wouldn’t want to go against tradition, would you?
From experience, we know that Calvin Klein Mens Underwear traditionally makes a great Christmas gift. Still not sure? Why not check out our Men’s Underwear Guide to check out what styles are available.
Calvin Klein has finally arrived here at Urban Alpha! This is a large step forward in meeting our goal to provide you with the best range of men’s underwear available online.
We have a number of styles; boxer trunks, low-rise trunks, briefs, low-rise briefs and also a number of multipacks. If you’re unsure of which style to go for, why not check out our Men’s Underwear Guide?
Over the coming months we will be adding more and more styles of Calvin Klein Men’s Underwear, as well as introducing more designer brands. Make sure you sign up to the newsletter to be the first to know when the new ranges arrive!
Thanks,
The Urban Alpha Team
Coming Soon... Calvin Klein!
One of the most popular Designer Mens Underwear Brands, Calvin Klein, will be arriving at Urban Alpha next week!

To make sure you don’t miss out, click here to sign up to the Urban Alpha newsletter.
I have a feeling that we’ll be in a generous and giving mood when the stock arrives, so why not like the Urban Alpha Facebook Page for your chance to win some free Calvin Klein Underwear?

PS – Shortly after Calvin Klein arrives here at Urban Alpha, we’ll be announcing another big brand to be joining our site, so stay tuned!
First and foremost – thank you to everyone for their help and support in getting urbanalpha.co.uk live. It’s been a long road, which in many ways has only just begun, but I’m sure that the best is yet to come!
As this is the first post, I’ll be using it to touch on the information mentioned in our About Us page, and to outline what we will be up to over the coming months.
Our main goals are to keep introducing great styles and popular brands of designer men’s underwear, to keep working behind the scenes to improve the way the website works and to maintain high levels of customer service as without our customers we know that we don’t have a business!
We will also be working on adding and improving our features and content, such as our Mens Underwear Guide, involving the social media community and answering some age-old questions, once and for all. If you have any comments about the website, or would just like to get in touch to ask a question, please head over to the Contact Us page as we would love to hear from you.
We use SSL Security from VeriSign, which will encrypt any information you put into the site to make sure it stays secure. We also have order tracking on all of our postage options through the Royal Mail, so that you can check up on the progress of your order.
Future blog posts will feature a mix of seasonal trends, product additions and fashion news, combined with the occasional post about website updates, community involvement and other events here at urbanalpha.co.uk, so be sure to check back regularly or sign up to the newsletter to ensure you don’t miss out!
With Christmas just around the corner, we are really hitting the ground running, with a couple of big brands processing orders right at this moment (more on that soon!) to give Urban Alpha a greater selection for all of your stocking filler needs.
Thanks again!
Andrew
