Seobean Asian Brief

[sebbie]

Do any of you own one of the SEOBEAN Asian suits that are available on Amazon? I was curious so I ordered one this morning.This looks like a classic Asian design, undersized, low slung fit etc. These are shipped from China (free) apparently, as the shipping time is listed as 17-21 days.

These remind me of some of the older N2N designs. The number on the bottom is a bit over the top, but that is ok. I'm trying the Med (28-30) size which us a US Small. When I get the suit I will post an update.

Nice looking - a new brand name to me and my only comment being why do some designers want to mess about unnecessarily ? (taking out a segment of seven at the rear of a simple suit here detracts rather than attracts for me).

I've been digging around on the Internet, and have learned that they are a Korean-headquartered clothing company, a company thhat manufactures clothing for men and women including jeans, tees etc. Swimwear and underwear is only part of their business. The swimwear and underwear tends to be in bright primary colors and fashion-forward. For example, here is a photo of what they call thermal underwear but are really running tights. They do make briefs without the number,(photo 2), but the cut off number appears to be a signature design touch, appearing also on other styles of swimwear (photo 3, next post). There are dozens of vendors on both Amazon and Ebay that import and ship their clothes from China, apparently where they do most of the manufacturing.

So far, I am fascinated by the design,..quite a bit different from what we see from US retailers, with a distinct Asian feel to the overall look.

I swim laps in a similar Seobean suit, plain color. The stitching and material is top quality and the drawstring keeps the suit on my butt at turns. Feels like nothing is on, and good support for the package. With a 32 inch waist a Large size fits like a glove.
