I agree with solarguy... in fact, I would like to come see a LOT of the collections of the guys on here!

My collection goes back to the 1980s, and I will break it down into two major categories, then list them in the order of acquisition.

Racer Cut/Swim Brief/Swim Thong:
Balboa
Jantzen
Speedo
Tactics Sports (by International Male)
Sun Blocks (tan thru suit)
N2N
Body Aware
Suzi Fox
Arena
Wang Jiang
Parr of Arizona (older suit found on ebay)

Swim Jammers:
Sporti
Hapari
N2N
Speedo
Desmiit
Brave Person
Nike
Icker Sea

The more conservative/competition-style swim trunks I've bought:
Jantzen
Speedo
International Male
Wang Jiang
Desmiit
Arena
Koala (they actually at one time had some fairly conservative trunks)


The more revealing bikini trunks I've bought:
PrevailSport
N2N
Tropis
Dore
Muscleskins


I've definitely "downsized" from 2-3" sides to give or take 1/2-1" sides and from almost-shy coverage to trunks whose front hold the basic male equipment but cover little else. Extremely quick to dry, offering a superior tan and in no way apologetic for my maleness, the minimalist bikini trunks are absolutely my favorite.

Thru the years I wore Speedo, Arena, Finals, Skinzwear, Andeas Cahling and Prevail Sport. I swam laps in all these suits.

But recently I have gone to Dezmitt, Seobean and Neptune Scepter with Seobean and NS my favorites of all time.

These are some brands I've worn over the years. Unless I've annotated them, they are mostly standard competition style suits.

Jantzen
Speedo
Head
Dolfin
Truwest (one suit is a vinyl water polo suit)
Q (conservative cut, 4+ in. sides, but ultra high loss fabric)
Aussiebum
Parr of Arizona (skimpy, very stretchy conforming fabric)
n2n (conservative, for n2n, cut but slighly see-thru or see-thru when wet)
Markus-Brighton (basically transparent)
and several others

Currently I mostly wear Aussiebum classic or loose, and when possible n2n.

Guys, I am impressed by your enormous wardrobe of hot swimwear, and especially swim briefs.
My collection is very limited.
I regularly wear:
Speedo
Arena
(both with narrowest sides that these do)
Also have:
The Finals
Diana
Kiniki
(these are now all past their best, especially the Kiniki tan-thru that seem to have lost their stretch)
Have just ordered a pair of briefs from NeptuneSpector. Look forward to swimming and posing in those.

On my quest to find my perfect suit I have purchased and tried a few brands finally landing on turbo. With just the right amount of skimp with cool patterns, durability, and usable for competitive swimming. The other swimwear Ive purchased were...
•Speedo
•TYR
•Arena
•N2N
•JoeSnyder(way to small for me)
•California Muscle (I really love the scrunch butt Colt bikini but it just isn't a functional suit for what I needed it to be. Perfect for tanning though and got a lot of long looks by women. A few even talked to me very interested in "me").
