HOM briefs

I've ordered one of these suits from Swimwear4Men:

Thought it was about time I had a change from black or navy blue suits. Actually I had the same colour in a square cut suit during my pre-Speedo days.

Bede,

Are they lined and have a drawstring? They look really sleek and seem to be similar to the Sporti Euro briefs. Good that you're changing from the dark colors to red - a little more pizzazz! You might also try green which looks very good against both a dark and light complection.

Front lined and inside cord. Wouldn't have anything less....

[Dooley67]

I'm with you Bede on the front lining and inside cord. I've had a few Tactics suits with the strings on the outside and couldn't make them tight enough.

I'm sporting a black micro chic marine suit right now. By far the best fitting and comfortable "bikini" style suit I've worn. I ve been wearing it under wet suits while scuba diving and hitting the beach. The material scuffs easily and you loose the sheen from the material because of it but still very durable and stays in place unlike a lot of bikini style suits.

Two thumbs up!

Will they hold up well in extreme chlorinated waters?

Turbofan,

Good to see you back online. What size are the side seams on the micro chic marine suit? Also, what is the micro chic marine suit? I've not heard of it.

I don't use it in chlorinated water but id imagine that the spandex in it would degrade like every other suit. Its definitely my beach, scuba diving, patio sun tanning suit.

The side seams are about an inch. The cut reminds me of the OLD speedo solar suits but a much lighter material, better fit, no centre seam and way more comfortable. Its just that tiny bit more skimpy then the solar which I like but you can wear it in a group and not look like a gay fashion model.

Theres a lot more stretch in the front so you can position how you want. I always sort of end up pointing straight out unless I have a tight restrictive suit and the HOM lets my junk sit how it likes.

Seriously, I brought 5 suits with me on vacation and I only wore the HOM. 100% my favourite suit, hands down.

Bede,

Great looking suit and looks great on you.

Ta. I'm kind of lucky to have barely visible leg hair.

Wore these at the pool today. Felt very comfortable with no drag effect to worry about.
Black swimwear seems to possess 'magical' qualities, in that you can wear it really brief without being conspicuous.

Bede,

There is something to be said about a black suit. It's got that classic look and looks great regardless of how light or dark your complection is. It's kind of like women who have the basic black dress to be worn for any occasion. I've got 3 black suits, a Sporti, a Tactics, which I altered to make the leg holes tighter and to create a lower rise in front - I wear both for lap swimming - and a Cover Male with one inch sides and no drawstring which I would never wear to swim laps.

By the way, Bede, you look great in that black suit.

Hom used to have a great tanga suit (string side bikini cut) as well as a g-string suit that I really liked. Unfortunately they quit making them and mine have finally worn out. The material was great and very well made. As is so often the case, the elastic in the waist died. Of course I probably got 12 years or more out of them before they did. They seem to have lost the cutting edge designs they used to have and gone for the more conventional cuts. I miss the fun designs that were so popular in the late 80's.

I have owned 3 Hom men's bikini suits.
Red, pewter and yellow. The red ones got stolen in a burglary.

I have never owned or see a Hom string bikini though I love the briefness of the style. I currently own 2 string bikinis, the oldest red and turquoise I bought from C&A in the 1980's.

The blue ones with the green string I made myself.
