Re. tags - post#18
 

One of many inaccuracies Louis.
Skippy is supposed to have two suits each 34".

Endurance sizing tag says GB34 but its store tag says GB30
The first one says Australia 14 and you say that should be 18
Under Australia 14 it says waist 80 - which contradicts France 85 above it
(metric is universal so one or the other is wrong)

Endurance store tag says GB30 and I would not disagree with France75
as the interpretation - this time we see nothing at all for Australia however.

In other words a complete Chinese dog's breakfast at the factory sewing machine I suspect !

I looked to see if the seller did the melt together with plastic tie that holds the store tag to the suit just to pass off as a new with tags.But it is professionally attached.Don't know if stores have a tool or machine that does that though.The suit would have to be around a 34" or 36" definitely not a 30" waist.The outside store tag is obviously wrong.

my opinion...
 

Sorry, but fake. I have swam in and been a loyal Speedo swimmer for years. Good luck getting a refund. You might be better off to complain to eBay and to send a suit to Speedo and file a report there. Chalk it up to a lesson learned.

Spoke to seller and he said will give refund.

Just curious, did the seller admit that it was fake or did the seller not know? I know that eBay will give warning or even suspend sellers with counterfeits.

He didn't say,Just said he will refund me back.I'm not looking to get the guy in trouble or anything,He might not have been aware.I knew something was wrong the second I tried them on,I've had a lot of experience with swim suits so it was easy to detect something was up,Someone else may not know.I can say though whoever does wear them in water is going to have their stuff on display big time.

Turn him in to ebay
 

Get your refund then turn him in. Why allow him to just rip someone else off?

whats up with these suits....
 

Never the less, I did purchase online via ebay and some chinese sites suits that are supposed to be speedo brand but were not yet even if they were not they were cheap but in good shape with excellent quality.
Also we must keep in mind that china do not respect copyrighted popular brands.
EX... SPEEDOS MADE IN JAPAN ARE MADE BY THE MIZUNO COMPANY AND THEY ARE EVEN MUCH BETTER QUALITY THEN OUR SPEEDO BRANDS ARE BUT MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.
MIZUNO ARE MENTIONNED ON THE TABS.

Torchwatch they do make one with a 2" side,The prior one I bought on ebay was real nice but the seller listed the wrong size, it was a 38" instead of a 36".Here is that suit.

Endurance
 

Yep, very nice suit - and good to know they are still around somewhere.
Age of that Endurance not stated but Speedo is clearly spelled out in their
old style font.
In fact what you submit there shows what I saw on the David Jones site
(see post#8).
Also I see now what is that fuzzy white strip in the rear leg seam - it is
the back-fabric of the embroidered word ENDURANCE.
