Here is a man and bikini that defies all others :)
 

Why don't thing like this float in waters when I'm at the beach :(

The swim suit fits/looks soo perfect on that beautiful butt muscle! haha

I wonder what site this pic was downloaded from. Wish people would leave URL addresses.

So, who needs board shorts for boarding then?

very nice...
 

I think I read DOLLAR as the only clue for ID on his tight top (which is presumably as a rash guard).
Agree it gets very frustrating when websites cannot be traced but from which blog did you actually reproduce this pic?

I went back to find where I got the pic and am having no luck. It had to been either Tumblr or PaulCram (who is also on tumblr, an underwear junkie with his own website as well)

The speedo looks amazing! It fits him soo f'n perfect on this handsome, drop dead gorgeous guy!!! Wish my muscles were like that!! lol

I wonder what brand speedo that is?

His top says GUARD
 

His top says GUARD.

mystery
 

Never seen him before - must make mental note for browsing.
Red speedo is the best I have seen any guard wear but could
be any brand - board is of a strange design (to me) as well.

NB to NB: new specs. ordered

I'm thinking the sideseam is about 1.5 inch. Not many companies that manufacture the 1.5" sideseam.

I have to agree, the red looks amazing on a man's body!! Wish it was more transparent :)....sheer rating 15?? hahaha

I really want to buy the suit that the surfer in the pic is wearing.

Help me out guys...what brand, type, color is it? What do you think the side seam is measured to be?

What website would I go to?

I know that's a lot to ask, but hey, you never know.

I was searching swimoutlet and found that the Sporti Euro, red might be similar in red color??? What you boys think? ::confused:

I love the bikini rashguard combo. Fits him well

guard on bodyboard
 

It certainly does with that body.

Afewgoodmen could have a look at a red TYR on a diver in the last post on the Broken Drawstring thread. Arrest-me is an alternative - though not cheap, a nice little low-cut red number from Oz (although I have no experience of the Marcuse brand): http://www.marcuse.com.au/swimwear/arrest-me-red.html

Thank you Byron for looking into this!
I've always wanted a red suit like that. I was looking at the sideseam thread pattern on the surfer boy and it looks very similar to the Arrestme brand. It looks similar to the TYR brand as well. I think the Arrestme sideseam measurement seems a bit less than the TYR suit. What you think?

Where would I go to buy a TYR suit? Any good website?

big question
 

The trouble is we are trying to ID a red bikini style where there is no upright pic and no brand logo to see.
Such a common suit could be on sale from hundreds of outlets around the world.
For style cachet I would go for the briefer Marcuse over the TYR . I will rely on others to recommend a supplier but there are many selling TYR suits and simply searching TYR men's swim briefs on Google will produce some answers to browse (Arena is worth looking for too).
Side seam depths are a frequent omission in some websites and a question on "contact us" is advisable to ascertain details and to avoid disappointment from an ill judged/presented image if a particular suit looks to be just what you want to order.

For example I recently spotted a red "Speedo Lifeguard Bikini Performance" suit and it was the text which then pulled me up short as it is not a speedo but a bottom intended for the lifeguard girls.

I own some "gal" speedo bottoms as almost none of the local stores carry good cuts. It is all the generic 4" us speedo which makes me look bad and fits weird...

They fit much better than the male alternatives. Since then I have discovered ebay, a store with Solars and more unique cuts, and west Hollywood shops

better fit
 

You may be interested in Bikini Bottoms thread
(from notmyj 05-05-2012)

A 2" European classic racing style looks and feels so much better than the more modest American styles, if you have the figure then go for it, so no need to wear women's bikinis unless that is your particular fetish.
Less than 2" also looks and feels great but are perhaps not for use in conservative public pools and beaches where you may be considered to be trying too hard or to be be too gay. Best to always carry more than one suit so you can decide what to wear once you arrive and have seen what's going.

This is a Tyr made for the European market. About right, sides wise?
Attachment 221

two inches?
 

A bit of a guess there but a surprise from TYR as I thought they were usually a little conservative.

It seems to me that the surfer is wearing more like 1.5" side seam. I can tell because I have a few measuring that length.

You are correct about the TYR in the poka-dot pic, it seem like a 2-2.5"

However the swimmer in the previous pic does seem to have a 1.5" side seam. That you said was also TYR. i was hoping to find that particular speedo on some website but have had no luck thus far.

But I am definetely in love with the ArrestMe, just don't love the price. :(

what brand speedo?
 

Any idea what brand this speedo is? There seems to be some type of logo on the divers left front side.

clarification
 

My goodness Joe - there is a joke expression "confusion reigned and they all got wet"!

1. I would agree that the yummy Guard as first shown on the bodyboard with the white shirt and red suit is likely to have a 1.5" sideseam. I made no assessment of the speedo manufacturer however and I have already said this is a common product with no visible clues and an unhelpful photo in that particular prone position.

2. I only said TYR for the diver in red making an adjustment in the broken drawstring thread because that is what it is and was intended to give you an idea of appearance and what might be available (amongst many other briefs) for your purchase - although in that particular pic the diver is likely to be wearing more that 1.5" on his suit's sideseam I would guess.
There was no recommendation for TYR (nor any other as better suggestions might come about from the experience of other members) - although I did like the style of the Marcuse, even at greater cost, which happened to show up when searching red brief speedos.

Btw, Sebbie submitted a TYR chequered design - not polka dot.

No idea....
 

Re.post#19 logo is far too indistinct - but my nearest guess is same as Torchwatch's new China suit
(his post#15 on your thread Bikinis/Swimwear On eBay)

Well, I ended up ordering the ArrestMe suit that Byron had suggested. It is a bit pricey...but hey I will feel great in it at the beach.

Now need to focus on where I want to go. I really want to do Rio de Janiero but the flight prices seem outrageous :(

Hom used to make a suit like that, very brief and very French, I think their current red suit is the wrong red and rather over priced.

Hom
 

Yes - have become somewhat disenchanted with them - never cheap but their current maillots de bain just not in the exciting new styles and fabrics of their past ranges.

Seems to be a decent price for me... Ever since I discovered the variety of cuts I could get online I stopped buying and "gal" bottoms (I was a teen then too so access was harder)... all of the speedos I bought online fit 100% better than the 5" ones in the local sports stores including the "gal" bottoms...

while I love TYR suits they wear out too easily. The only 2 suits I do not have anymore are TYR suits...

I will only be wearing the ArrestMe suit to sunbathe on the beach or lay by a pool. I don't think I want to expose it to chlorine.

I have a few other 1.5" suits that I use for swimming/water polo.

I have a few pairs of the Intymen Microdot borreal suit I bought on the Undergear website. Very happy with the cut and the design of the fabric. However the fabric itself seems to be breaking down. They have also discontinued the suit :(

Example
 

See what I mean about difficulty in putting an accurate ID on so many of those ubiquitous little red speedos? http://31.media.tumblr.com/2dea95a38...6rqlo1_500.jpg

Byron -- You think this is the same guy as the surfer?

BTW, that's a cute speedo this man has on. What brand?

I.d.
 

No - not suggesting that is the same guy as the Guard on the bodyboard - just wanted an excuse to post a sexy pic - but also to illustrate that it is almost impossible to put a brand name to such little speedos (but you have asked again and I am still clueless I'm afraid)

You are correct, it is hard to pinpoint such a suit just by the looks of it.

PS on HOM
 

Haven't looked at their suits for a long time but now decided I prefer their underwear these days (which is how they started en France of course):
http://25.media.tumblr.com/e8bf8e581...rudco1_500.jpg

I have to say that I do like the thin side bikini cut but the cut follows to the the back (butt) a little too far. Don't you think? I prefer the 1-1.5" side cut, but want it to cover about 3/4 of my butt.

What brand is this from france?

cut
 

Yes, that was underwear and probably more of a thong in design (which I don't find comfortable but was enjoying the front view).
The brand is HOM Joe - as you will see in the pic and for which you should read posts #23 and #24.
HOM started in Marseilles with men's underwear in 1968 and later added speedos to their range. The brand now belongs to German conglomerate Triumph International (the girls will recognise Triumph as a long-time producer of their swimsuits).
You might care to have a look at http://www.hom.com/en/sous-vetements-homme/histoire/
You can select English but if you come across French sous-vetements are underwear and maillots de bain are speedos.

My favourite French underwear manufacturer is Dim, most of the Dim stuff I bought in a Boulonge hypermarket some years ago has now worn out and the company website don't deliver to UK, so will have to head out there again some time.

Thanks Byron! I checked out the website and the HOM are sure a bit pricey. I will wait for my ARRESTME bikini. Hopefully I will be able to make a trip to Rio de Janiero and wear it everyday on Ipanema beach! :)

I just found out I have to get a visa to travel to Brazil :((

Good luck
 

A lot of international security arrangements have changed since 9/11 but don't leave it until 2016 as a flight booking may be impossible to obtain.

Btw you might ask the Brazilians what it's like to travel in reverse as US Homeland Security is I believe under pressure to reduce the four and five hour delays for incoming passenger vetting at the international airports.

Re.post#34
 

Dommage - missed DIM as my last visit to the hypermarket (Auchan) in Boulogne was concentrated on seeking some Chateau Neuf Du Pape and some St. Emilion et divers bouteilles moins cher que l'Angleterre ! Nice day trip to
include lunch within the impressive city walls up near the basilica however.

I didn't know DIM brand and they do it seems have speedos also (DIM Paris
seems to concentrate on ladies' lingerie).
Best pic I could find - not very impressive I'm afraid:

Re.post#4
 

Any progress on retracing your source for the pic Joe?
Here is where he also appears - it's the same pic as
you will see - but still no background info. to be found.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8517/8...4f7eb5a1_o.jpg

honestly Byron, I have not even had a chance to search. Thanks for the update though. I'm thinking it might be a ArrestMe, like you intially suggested, possibly in the Aussie waters? :confused:

Sure would love to have a tunneling buttcrack like that. Need to hit the squat machine hardcore again :rolleyes:

AFEWGOODMEN, have you do weight training often? Squat is quite danger for people don't know the correct posture/form and lifting too heavy. If you are a beginning, make sure you seek correct instructions before going hardcore.
