2 XTG Underwear collection marks four years with the new 2009 collection and grows to currently become one of the most important companies on the market being faithful to the transgressor design rules set by Luis Mentado, designer. During this short period of time, he has created trend introducing different designs to the usual ones full of funny and crazy patterns, which are combined with a large range of colours faithful to its slogan, Extreme Game. Once again, the brand is inspired by tattoos, sporty designs and smart plain clothes. In its second collection of the year, XTG uses religious and comic themes, among other motifs. The Winter 2009 Collection consists of boxers shorts, classical briefs, T-shirts and short sporty trousers. Its fundamental premise is comfort. This is why first-class materials have been used in order to manufacture the garments. This kind of material enhances for its softness and fits like a glove, such as cotton and micro synthetic garments. It is the first time the company introduces fabrics such as modal (cellulose fibre, known for its flimsiness) or elastic silk in one only upper category design, the Gold Dig. In a particular way, due to the industrial division of the company, the details are always meticulous: comfortable elastic waistband with the brand or the slogan on it, clothespins and lengths enhancing the shapes Something really special we have to mention is the use, for the first time in some models, of the logo in tattoo or in a stud printing and the kind of dyeing: a high performance spun making the garment specially comfortable. XTG offers, besides, a wide range of designs and sizes (from XS to XL) suiting to every kind of body. Concerning the basics and the accessories, versatility on design of briefs, T-shirts and shorts makes the XTG man possible to use the garments both as underwear and sportswear. EXTREME GAME 2

In order to give more character to these designs, the designer Luis Mentado has used the colour black as the background in all garments of the Cannibal and Axel families. These families also have in common the use of roses in its decoration. AXEL (Brief y T-Shirt). Religious inspiration is one of the main sources of the tattoo world. This creation, which is composed of a Brief and a T-shirt, combine roses which are used as the main offering in all religions around the world- and the Rosary Cross and Rosary beads that are used to count the prayers in the Christian, Muslim and Buddhist religions. The Brief, with red & grey trimming, has roses and rosary beads printed on the front, but the back is the most important part with a Cross, Rosary beads and roses too. This design is the one that wears the T-shirt on both sides, but this time it crosses the T-shirt from left to right and from bottom to top. It is important to emphasize the pattern in the Brief because it is overall print, and it has the brand name XTG in red and centred in the elastic waistband. 3

4 CANNIBAL (Brief, Boxer y Tank). Cannibalism is the act of eating members of the same species. Most of the tattoos have a profound hidden symbolism and with this style, Luis Mentado wants to show the trail left by the female man- eaters. So firstly, with the Brief and the boxer, the designer wants to show in the front side how much these women hurt men using symbolic skulls decorated with flowers and leaves over a spider- web background. On the rear, the all Seeing Eye is shown together with 2 blue birds as messengers. He also uses a blue lettered tattoo of American style with the text Cannibal Bonbon written in the shape of a pyramid. The waistband features two stripes, white and red, and the brand name XTG centred in white color in the front. On the rear, on the right side you can see the word MENSWEAR used as the slogan of this collection. The sleeveless black T-shirt has blue trimmings and a pinup picture in the front. There are the 2 faces of a cannibal woman, one sweet and the other wicked. The both figures are leaning against each other; they have white hair with grey highlights and their bodies are completely tattooed. They wear a fitted golden top and a harlequin style skirt, with white, light blue and dark blue stripes. They are displayed over a bed of roses and skulls with the words Cannibal Bonbon over their waists and the messenger birds of the all Seeing Eye watching them. The rear is black. 4

6 SWEET HONEY (Brief y Boxer). As sweet as honey, this seemingly innocent design uses this inspiration to give this model a sensual and spicy component. In two fading shades of orange and blue, the fabrics are combined with red trimmings that stand out against the plain coloured waistbands. On the rear, both the brief and the boxer have the same picture: a round label with an XTG honey jar in which you can read Honey Underwear and Menswear, with a dripping honey dipper in the centre.

In both colours, XTG is centred in the front and on the right side in the rear. MEN S RUIN (Brief, Boxer y T-Shirt). Using the comic world for inspiration, XTG dedicates this line to gambling, drinking and women that, as the title say, are the downfall of all men. The brief, the boxer and the T-Shirt are printed in bottlegreen with an all over print displaying a lot of pictures that represent these vices. Both, the boxer and the brief feature a light blue trimming and an elastic waistband of the same colour with the green XTG logo repeated all along the waistband. In the front, the dollar symbol represents the lust for money and dice and cards the addiction to gambling. In the rear some of these pictures are repeated and, besides, it includes women in sexy poses and drinking with a bottle. The short-sleeved cotton T-shirt with a round collar has on the front the title of this family and, although it uses the same designs, it changes their position on the front and on the rear. 6
