Vintage Fridays

This image looks like it could be from the late 70's but it's actually from the GLT in San Diego about 5 years ago! Check out the model wearing one of our first sungas we designed.

Polaroid Tuesday? Ok Thursday

We skipped Polaroid Tuesdays by mistake but we are making up with them with Matt S. sporting some California Vintage briefs and a vintage NIKE t-shirt that looks adorable on him.

LEO G. Wiz

Leo Giamani with future sportswear Rufskin accessories coming soon!

Brazilian Wednesdays 2.0

Ahhhh BAHIA! Hubert, the main designer for Rufskin enjoying himself with a couple of hotties in Bahia during his years as a women's designer. Precious!

Fantastic

More clips from an editorial for Fantastic Mag. Love the MIKE in Army and the white THIAGO against the models dark skin. Delicious. 

UNZIPPED

In the August issue of UNZIPPED Magazine, not only was Margaret Cho the first woman to grace the cover (with Ricky Sinz of course) but there was tons of RUFSKIN featured. Here is Ricky wearing our NEIO underwear, Margaret biting his TRUXTON denim underwear.... and a little write up on the label. Oh, and our full page ad on the back inside cover.

SEX LEX

Denim underwear called LEX......we think of SEX.!

Vintage Fridays 2.0 and more leather

Model and personal trainer Ozzie almost looks like a turkish boxer from these vintage leather briefs we name TOM.

Vintage Fridays and leather

Rufskin has recently re-launched their leather goods and since it is vintage Fridays here at Ruftalk we thought we would post some editorial from the not too distant past of some of our leather. Want some beautifully crafted Rufskin leather? Check it out here. There is even more to come so stay tuned!

RUFSKIN editorial

Getting steamy with an awesome editorial shot by Jerrad Matthew in the current issue of Beautiful Mag. Taking a departure from shooting your typical swimwear editorial on a beach or near a pool... he took it to the saunas. Now if only the men loitering the sauna's in real life looked this good.

STILL AD REVIEW....cool

WE FOUND THIS REVIEW AND WE THOUGHT IT SUMMED UP JOHNNY AND THE AD PRETTY NICELY.

In an age when shock comes soft, these male underwear ads look demure and virginal. For advertising standards, these are piteously tame, Calvin Klein and Guess redefining risqué with every chance they get nowadays.

But the model here is not in the business of repeating himself. He has downright nothing left to prove—not when he is a living, breathing gay porn star.

Now that is making every other male model tame. Rufskin, a clothing startup, picked X-rated hunk Johnny Hazzard for this month’s underwear campaign.

He’s left nothing to the imagination already in his tens of movies. But for this campaign, the ladreckoned to put at least something on. On Rufskin’s part, the company found it didn’t have to invest in some supermodel or a soccer star to advertise tighty whities. There’s one on the gay smut for half the price.

Ohioan Johnny Hazzard first delved into the skin flick business in 2003, with his first film Oral Exams 2. Like most porn stars, the chap had been strapped for cash. It wasn’t long before he registered on the radar of gay porn mistress Chi Chi LaRue.

Eventually, Johnny Hazzard (Frankie Valenti in real life) earned enough stripes to star in his own Rascal Videos. His stellar movie credits include Detention, A Night at Bruno’s, Wrong Side of the Tracks, Bolt, Köllide, What Men Do, Sun Soaked, and Deceived.

Hazzard is, in his own right, an award-worthy actor. At the 2004 GayVN Awards, the lad got nominated for such plums as “Best Newcomer” and “Best Group Scene.”

One would be daft not to identify Rufskin’s core demographic by this point. Rufskin was started by Douglas Coats and Hubert Pouches in 2000. Since then, their clothes have been featured in such prominent gay rags as Out, Detail, and DNA. True to form, Rufskin has hired several other gay porn actors for its ads.

Porn stars are models by default. Truth be told, lines are bound to blur, and not one industry has a claim to one star.

Today’s is a crossover revolution. Celebrities could choose playing to their advantages, sticking to their fortes. Or go the greener side: That’s why Jared Leto and Jennifer Lopez are not only acting, they’re also singing. Britney Spears may be a singer alright, but she sure has some NSFW pictorials to her credit. And hasn’t Madonna moonlit in Playboy? Paris Hilton even claims to be actress, singer, model, and porn star all rolled into one.

Acts are hard on the heels of Jenna Jameson, probably the best-known crossover event in porn. The blonde babe has gone mainstream and back, starring in big film productions like Analyze Thatand PETA ads with equal aplomb. Why, she even has her own wax replica at Madame Tussauds!

As an afterthought, here’s Johnny Hazzard modeling Rufskin’s Preston denim pants:

Just because...

SAN FRAN in da house!

Due to popular demand.....and a few jockstrap enthusiasts, RUFSKIN recently debuted their latest addition to the fun and retro 70's department store underwear line, CALIFORNIA VINTAGE with a cool jockstrap. Adding to the list of different California cities, the jockstrap was crowned with the name SAN FRAN and it comes in bright yellow, yes yellow....turquoise and black. Ez and breezy!

Smells like Team Spirit

Locker rooms are fun aren't they? RUFSKIN approved.

It's here....

Our first RUFSKIN Boutique. We are aiming to do the grand opening on August 14th, but we are open now for business. If you're coming from out of town it is best to shop by appointment. We are still interviewing staff for the store so hours will vary a bit until the official opening. We are located at 3944 30th Street, San Diego, CA 92104. Email me, jason@rufskin.com if you want to come by.

Brazilian Wednesdays 2.0

One thing about Brazilians are their nice size legs as in this image from a Rufskin photo-shoot a few years back. Brazilians give bottom heavy a whole new meaning!

Brazilian Wednesdays!

Brazil Wednesdays brings us a vintage Rufskin red swim sunga plus a hot Carioca boy. Courtesy of BangBangBoys.com The pool looks so refreshing for these hot summer San Diego days we are experiencing!

Pola Tuesdays

Here are two polaroids from over last weekend. Im wearing one of my fave RUFSKIN tanks, the MASSIMO - and the other polaroid is simply a hot pic of our good friend Johnny Hazzard who attended a pool party with me earlier in the day.

Sightings!

Our turquoise SPEED swim sunga looks cool and collected with this handsome model.

RUFSKIN sighting

I love when spotting a half naked boy at a pool party in RUFSKIN. He happens to be wearing our HANS - which is technically a sport short... but he seemed to have no problem getting them wet.

MADE IN BRAZIL

Nothing beats a post pride Monday like an image of Brazilian Carlos Freire photographed by Rick Day for the Revista Dom this month! We are confidant that the blog MADE IN BRAZIL will have the first coverage of this story!!!!

Facebook Find

Los Angeles party boy Seth Apper is in SD this weekend for Pride, and I happened to spot this photo of him rocking our SAILOR sunga on Facebook. J'adore...

Vintage Fridays

This is obviously not a Rufskin photo nor a Rufskin model but it sure sums up the ideals of our company! Italian prize fighter from the early 70's.
