International Male
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Male is a men's style magazine which includes male models showcasing the latest in casual and office-casual clothing. The company is owned by New Jersey-based group Hanover Direct and has existed since the 1980s. Like many catalogs they offer both a print and internet version of their inventory. In addition, some items are available only via their web store.
The catalog originally carried a wide variety of men's underwear and briefs amongst its sections, appropriately modeled by well-built, attractive men, giving rise to it being called "the male version of the Victoria's Secret catalog". Not surprisingly the business captured a good percent of the gay male market. Eventually this section spun off into a separate catalog, entitled Undergear, which focused exclusively on fashionable men's underwear.
