Hey All,

Been looking at this brand for a while. They keep popping up on my Instagram feed. Seems they are based out of New York and have some great prints. Anyone have any suits from them that can comment on fit and quality?

Would be interested in the lizard or Ray.

Nice looking suits. Look more square cut. Price is reasonable, too.

I'm not sure I like the fact that they look a little baggy...not tight fitting

They seem to have used a polyester/spandex mix.
Polyester used to be used in water polo suits and should be worn tight, their model would have looked better if he had downsized to a tighter suit.
This is a 5" or 6" suit which to the European eye looks very 1950's.
This is a American style swimsuit worn loose and almost long enough to become sangas or square cut.
Unless looking like an American 1950's water polo player appeals to you go and get something briefer and more modern.
