Forget Abercrombie. Here’s a fashion line that knows its customers.
aussieBum, the Australian-based men’s leisure, swim and underwear company, is taking a bold step by aligning itself with America’s foremost muscle-erotica company, Colt Studios. This strategic co-branding, will unveil itself in an upcoming Colt film, the studio announced last week.
In a press release, Sean Ashby, president of aussieBum said the partnership “further demonstrates our desire to be part of the gay community in every respect.”
aussieBum was launched in 2001. None of the menswear stores in the Cedar Springs Entertainment district OutLines, Union Jack, Crossroads, Skivvies currently carry aussieBum, although Skivvies has in the past.
Colt says it will announce their aussieBum title later this year.

Peaches isn’t one to mince words her new album is titled “Impeach My Bush.”
The campaign will attempt to draw attention to the slaughter of baby harp seals. According to PETA, this year, 333,000 have been killed for their fur.
