Yeah, this batch of 100% Nylon suits is definitely rare. All the ones I got are 70000 series, with 4 inch sides. I didn't get any 72000 series ones, I have a hunch they have 3 inch sides, but no confirmation.
They fit perfectly. By tape measure I'm 34 inches at the true waist and 34 inches four finger widths below the navel, which is where you should measure for a Speedo suit. So Speedo size 34 suits, US or Europe, all fit me perfectly.
The nylon suits are a little loose in the front, there will be some fabric flapping there as you swim. Certainly a Lycra suit would be more hydrodynamic. They also get a bit pokey looking when things get cold and shrink. A Lycra or Poly/PBT suit definitely gives a smoother look.
These old suits can also be a bit snug in the butt on a flip turn.
