Guys there is a brief style swimsuit I would like to buy but I need help to decide if I should buy it or not.
Here is a few details of the suit I mean, if you go to google search engin and type SwimOutlet.com you will see a picture of a swimsuit called sporty flags swim brief with would flags patterns on it, the price is $14.95, the item no. is SKU:SMPL002, you will see on the pic that the side seams look quite wide, so I emailed them to ask what the side seams were is inches, the responded that it was ABOUT 3 inches and a half side seams (3 1/2 INCHES)
I have never seen a suit that has 3 and a half side seams before,Iwonder if they really exist since they say ABOUT IT COULD BE THAT IT COULD BE 3 INCHES SIDES.
If they are really 3 inches and a half side seams then it would look to much like a square cut suit so I wouldnt buy it but if it was really a 3 inches sides then I would.
Im asking because perhaps someone did purchase this suit and perhaps could tell me if what exactly the side seams are in inches.
Its a very nice suit and Iv bene trying to find a suit with world flags on it for a long time, THE QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE SEEN SUCH A THING AS A BRIEF STYLE SUIT WITH 3 AND A HALF INCHES SIDES SEAMS BEFORE. THANKS.

Definitely not 3" IMHO but have you played the video a couple of times to help you decide on appearance?
Three and a half is an unusual measurement but would translate as 9cm metric.

Louis-got mine in the mail this morning-they are "brief' and great smooth feeling-Your dick will respond for sure. I would advise that you might want to size up=back is not seemed and your package will tend to exacerbate the suit across the butt and the only thing that happens is the sides tend to ride up with significant imprinting in the crotch area. I say for the price go for it -the flags are very vivid and you'll be noticed-great suit to get tan in.

Louis: Been in the pool 5 times with mine-reaction-many take a quick glance and look right back to eye contact! Guess they think that I will think they are "perving". I guess I will start asking them to start naming the flags-they can even touch if they wish-especially my package which is quite held in place by the suit-no room for wood! They are really quite spetacular and I think they surprise people who really wish to wear them too!

:) LOL - I want to ask what country gets touched most at the front and which disappears down your bum crack at the rear ?
(does Sporti position the fabric print exactly the same for every suit in fact ?)

Maybe Jamaica ? in front and Australia in the crack-one cannot push too hard there because i'm tight across the ass. My suit is in my Y locker and will check and let you know for sure!

Australia in front and perhaps Norway or Sweden ass. Good question whether they are all the same. If more show at Y I'll tell or maybe we can compare on this board. Great obser..vation,

your soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............. ....convincing that surely I will buy ono. To bad there doesnt seem to be a canadian flag on it.

I suspect these are all sewn from material with assorted international flags, and what country appears where is random, and varies from suit to suit.

Thanks Sebbie - that was my guess too - now all we need is a dozen pics from members for comparison !
Byron

OK, the suits don't come out all the same as the website video contradicts the pics in parts. This is what I see (some are whole but most are fractional and they repeat themselves):-
Video FRONT
Greece, USA, Sweden, Spain, Australia, Mexico, Jamaica *
Video BACK
Switzerland, Malta, Spain, Mexico, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, China, Jamaica*
Picture FRONT
Switzerland, Australia, Greece, Spain, Mexico, Korea, Australia again, USA,
Korea again, Sweden, maybe Iceland
Picture BACK
Australia, Malta, Sweden, Mexico, Germany, Kenya, United Kingdom, Korea, and one I can't work out
*Jamaica is difficult as limited design shown could just as well be part of South Africa

Byron-great detective work-troughout UK in background - but in some cases they will be wearing just the red cross of St. George instead of the whole Union Jack ie Scotland, Ireland and England layerd.

How about the republic of speedo islands.

:p Searched all over the Internet for that one but no luck.
Great opportunity therefore for the artistic amongst our
readers to design a suitable flag !
Byron

Dorcas : The Union Flag (not Jack) is indeed the layering of the crosses of
St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick (and there is a right and a wrong way to fly it - naming no names but some streets in London have it wrong at the moment).
Btw, as you mention Scotland don't believe what you hear about a Scotsman never wearing anything under the kilt: https://ssl4.lon.gb.securedata.net/toygrotto.net/merchantmanager/popup_image.php?pID=1783 (hope it works !)

The wide part of St. Andrew cross nearest the staff is bisexted by St. Patrick and ends up on the bottom part of the fly narrow on top. I know what you mean-my lounge has stands for Scotland , Wales and UK. on one side of my pipe organ.

:) Excellent - not a lot of people know that *
*a phrase attributed famously to Michael Caine but everybody forgets
he didn't say it - it was made up by Peter Sellers in imitation of MC
(because he loved to quote the Guinness Book of Records)

I can ID Jamaica here but not sure of the brand logo.
Unusual and seems to work well on this speedo.

How could anyone improve on this guy-What calves you can see are perfect-not always that great upper bodies also have great legs. This guy is impressive all around-hope he's earning some modeling money!
Byron

:D Yep, pretty good especially with that tan and now I open my eyes it's Turbo

seb.. yes I see the flag but I meant the team logo.

:confused: .........needs some investigating (didn't know Jamaica had a WP team)

Here is badge of Amateur Swimming Association of Jamaica but doesn't seem to fit the logo on that suit from srsport.com
Byron

It seems there is a National Team under the ASAJ but photos will not show on their WP page.
The mysterious logo on right side of the Jamaica speedo is in fact that of S&R Sport of Torrance CA.
