Tommy John as the ideal “Boyfriend Tee”
Since our launch at Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, our Second Skin undershirts have been crossing over into the “boyfriend tee” of choice for women and they can’t keep them in stock! They love them so much that they are buying a few for themselves, along with some for the men in their life.
Michelle, of Los Angeles, is a huge Tommy John fan and wears them as a boyfriend tee. “I LOVE wearing them to sleep in, wearing around the house, and have even started wearing them with my favorite pair of leggings and a cute belt.” The Tommy John shirts are, literally, the softest and most comfortable shirt I own. I only wish they had more colors. Her favorites are the stay tucked vneck undershirt and the stay tucked tank tops.

Tommy John Customer of the Week: Alex Hilgenberg
Tommy John fan, Alex Hilgenberg, is pictured here in his Tommy John Square Cut Tank Top. Born and raised in Milbank, South Dakota and a University of Nevada graduate, he is one guy who is always on the go. Recently married to his wife, Jesse, he is staying very busy as he is an NPC Competitive body builder, Personal Trainer, and Entrepreneur. He recently began opening up Anytime Fitness franchises in northern Nevada and is doing it in style.
Alex said, “I’ve tried everything from Calvin Klein, Hanes, 2xist, and Ralph Lauren. For guys who have a tapered build, it’s impossible to find clothes that fit your physique. My job allows me the luxury to wear comfortable, workout clothes daily. I was sick and tired of baggy, boxy undershirts and tank tops until I stumbled upon your line watching Jason from Iwearyourshirt.com review it for a day. I have no problem paying for clothing that fits and feels great. After trying a few shirts, I was sold. The shirt is, literally, the softest shirt I have ever worn. I am a customer for life, have over 10 Tommy John pieces, and plan to give them out as Christmas gifts this year to friends and family.
Nothing keeps us going more than having customers like this. Alex is an inspiration to us at Tommy John and his hard work is paying off (at both his franchises and in the gym).

MMA Fighter Rockin’ his Tommy John Boxer Briefs
Nate Quarry is a mixed martial arts fighter who is most notable for his appearance in The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show from theUltimate Fighting Championship, and subsequent title fight against Rich Franklin. There was concern about his comfort level in his other boxer briefs. As a result, we’re glad to see Nate looking great and comfortable at his weigh in last week wearing our Low Rise Boxer Briefs.
"The Ultimate Fighter" veteran Nate Quarry gutted out a tough decision over Tim Credeur in the official Fight of the Night, despite taking the brunt of the punishment and earning a huge mouse under his right eye in the process.
Great job Nate! We look forward to seeing your next fight. We’re glad to see the girl and the guy behind you took notice of your underwear

Redefining Mens Underwear- Neiman Marcus San Francisco
It was a great weekend for Tommy John’s Second Skin Collection at Neiman Marcus in Union Square (San Francisco). Nearly selling out of merchandise, James Jarrett was able to get a few pairs of the Tommy John Low Rise Boxer Briefs. He liked them so much, he came back the following day for another pair (picture with Founder, Tom Patterson)
James is a San Francisco artist who creates sophisticated color-field paintings, with an unmistakable power and elegant style. His work is amazing and can be seen here. We’re hopeful that our underwear will inspire an even higher level of creativity with his future paintings.
Here is a picture of Neiman Marcus model, Jason, showing off the Tommy John Deep Vneck Stay Tucked Undershirt. The Vneck Undershirt has been a favorite at Neiman’s and Jason said it was the most comfortable undershirt he’s ever worn.

Undershirt Problems Solved
While at Neiman Marcus (Dallas Northpark) this past, we also had the pleasure of running into Dallas resident, Stephen Giles. Being in great shape, Steve has always had a hard time finding clothes that fit his body correctly. After long suffering from the problems that every guy has with his undershirts, he agreed that he felt like the guy in this image and was open to the solution Tommy John undershirts provide.
Steve, immediately, understood how Tommy John was different and ended up purchasing a few for himself. He lets us take this picture of him after his purchase.
Thanks Steve

Tommy John Second Skin launch at Neiman Marcus, Dallas
Tommy John had an in store event this past weekend at the Dallas Northpark Neiman Marcus celebrating the launch of their Second Skin Collection. Pictured below are Kevin Hager and Ken Ellard. They happened to be in town for the Dallas Cowboys game to celebrate the first game in the new Cowboy Stadium, along with their wives.
Kevin and Ken have long suffered from boxy, baggy undershirts that didn’t fit right. With a little convincing from Tom Patterson(Founder) and their wives (Amy and Kim), they agreed to try on a Tommy John and show everyone how they fit. They looked great in their stay tucked undershirts so we decided to snap this picture of them. They chose the Crew Neck Stay Tucked and the Tank Top Stay Tucked undershirts. As you can see, they look great in the picture and have no bunching, riding up, or untucking.
Thanks again Kevin and Ken for being such great sports! Although the Cowboys lost a close one, we’re glad to know you handled the loss in comfort;)

Is Tommy John Second Skin the same as Men’s Shapewear?
As Tommy John Second Skin is receiving more and more press, we find some of it may be misleading to readers. There have been some recent write up’s categorizing Tommy John Second Skin as men’s shapewear. We want to set the record straight. Tommy John is NOT; I repeat NOT men’s shapewear! Tommy John undershirts do not feel restricting, cut off blood circulation, or claim to improve your posture. Most importantly, you will NOT need the support of a partner to help you take it off at the end of the day. Although our tailored undershirts may make you look and feel slimmer, we do not promise to take pounds off your frame. Our slim fitting undershirts DO eliminate the dreaded “fabric gut” but unfortunately we cannot eliminate your actual gut.
Tommy John has the "appearance" of men’s shapewear, the comfort of a traditional undershirt, and a fit you won't find anywhere else.
The combination of our light-weight fabric, longer length, tailored fit, lay flat collar, and ability to stay tucked-in put the Tommy John Second Skin undershirt in a class of it’s own! This is a true undershirt that is meant to be worn under clothes (as “under” shirt would imply). It's, simply, the Ultimate Undershirt.
Our undershirt is for "REAL" men of all shapes and sizes that appreciate great quality, unmatched fit, second skin comfort, and a functional everyday undershirt that stands behind its claims to keep the undershirt tucked in with its patent pending Tailored Stretch Technology.
